West Boca Raton Gears Up for an Exciting Showdown with Bergen Catholic
West Boca Raton is buzzing with excitement as they prepare to host the Bergen Catholic Crusaders on Friday, September 5, 2025, as part of the much-anticipated Adidas Football Classic. Football fans are marking their calendars for what promises to be a thrilling clash between two powerhouse teams, each with their eyes on victory.
A Season of Triumph for West Boca Raton
After an impressive performance in 2024, the Bulls from West Boca Raton enter the 2025 season with all the momentum they could ask for. With a perfect record of 15-0, they clinched their very first state championship by overcoming Kissimmee Osceola in a nail-biting finale last December. This season, they aren’t just hoping to do well; they are favored to repeat as Class 6A champions, setting the stage for a potentially monumental year.
What makes the Bulls stand out is their rock-solid defense. In 2024, they allowed an astonishing average of just 8.2 points per game, showcasing their ability to keep opponents at bay. Fans are eager to see if they can maintain that stellar defense as they take the field against the formidable Bergen Catholic team.
Key Players to Watch
The Bulls boast some highly talented individuals who are poised to make significant impacts this season. One player to keep an eye on is senior running back Javian Mallory, who has committed to the University of Miami. His agility and speed on the field make him a threat to any opponent.
Junior quarterback Trey Moran will also be crucial for West Boca Raton, as he directs the offense and leads the team in crucial moments. Coupled with senior defensive end Xavier Reid, a Liberty University commit, the Bulls have the right mix of talent and experience to face off against a team like Bergen Catholic.
Bergen Catholic’s Record of Success
Meanwhile, the Bergen Catholic Crusaders are no strangers to the big stage. They wrapped up their 2024 season with a commendable record of 11-1, securing their fourth consecutive Non-Public A state title. This team knows how to win and is ranked No. 7 in the SBLive/SI Top 25 National High School Football Rankings, which is quite an achievement.
Interestingly enough, their only loss last season came in a tough opener against IMG Academy, where they experienced a 27-14 setback. But they quickly bounced back to dominate the rest of their matches, proving their resilience and skill on the field.
A Challenging Road Ahead
Bergen Catholic’s upcoming 2025 schedule looks intense, featuring matchups against three reigning state champions, reflecting their ambitions to compete against the best. They will kick off their season with a showdown against East St. Louis from Illinois on August 28, as part of the Battle At The Beach. This matchup sets the tone for a high-stakes season, making their clash with West Boca Raton even more exciting.
Standout Players from Bergen Catholic
The Crusaders also have a number of players to keep an eye on. Senior running back Najee Calhoun, a three-star prospect, aims to continue Bergen Catholic’s tradition of outstanding performances on the ground. Additionally, three-star junior wide receiver Bryan Porter will be critical in ensuring their offense remains dynamic and potent throughout the season.
Looking Forward to the Big Game
As the countdown to September 5 begins, the excitement within West Boca Raton continues to build. Fans are eager to see how this clash unfolds, and whether the Bulls can hold their ground against the Crusaders, a team renowned for their skill and competitive spirit.
