ORLANDO – It was Miami Northwestern’s first trip to the finals since 2008 and it had been since 2007 that the Bulls could call themselves champions. After a long drought, it’s the Bulls taking home the hardware by virtue of a hard-fought 21-16 victory over Armwood at Camping World Stadium in front of 5,805 fans on Friday evening.

While there was no shortage of attractive division one prospects on the field, the action was as ugly as it could possibly get at times with the two squads combining for over 200 yards on 20 penalties for the game. Northwestern shared the bulk of those with fifteen.

As a pesky rain fell off-and-on throughout the night, the Hawks just simply couldn’t get into a rhythm, getting out-gained 303-150 in total yards. One bright spot for the Hawks was James Miller and his 18 tackles for the evening. Armwood finishes the season at 14-1. CHECK OUT SOME OF THESE HOT PICS.
