Ring them now: Chaminade-Madonna wins Class 1M state title

TALLAHASSEE – Was there ever any doubt that Chaminade-Madonna (14-0 final record) would win the Class 1M state title this year?

Absolutely everyone – maybe except for Lions in-state opponents on their schedule – thought the defending 1M state champs would repeat. And they were right in truly emphatic fashion.

It only took 30 seconds for Chaminade to score its first touchdown on Clearwater Central Catholic (13-1 final record).

Watch for yourself how it happened so fast.

And just like that, @Nadeboyz are up. @Cedrickbailey11 connects with Jeremiah Smith on this 50-yard touchdown pass. It was a 3-play drive, with Bailey connecting with Smith all three plays. @CMLions_Sports 7, @CCCMaraudersFB 0, 1st Q 11:30 @SBLiveSports @SBLiveFL… pic.twitter.com/0BAqDYjOeM

En route to its FHSAA record 56-0 win at the Florida A&M University campus, Chaminade made sure to have the 1M state title out of reach early.

We will show you all the remaining clips on how Chaminade earned its 42-0 lead at halftime and more.

It’s @Cedrickbailey11 this time finding @joshisathe1 on a 54-yard touchdown pass.

Little trickery here by the Lions right before halftime as @joshisathe1 takes the reverse and hits @Cedrickbailey11 on this 2-yard touchdown.

Just when you thought a running clock in the second half would be enough for Chaminade to prove its statewide supremacy, there was reminder of what no mercy looks like.

The final water break of the game comes with 5:49 remaining. @Nadeboyz lead 49-0, on pace for their biggest margin of victory in any state championship game in program history.

The previous largest win, Chaminade defeated South Sumter 50-15 in 2005’s Class 2A state championship…
