Doral's Offense Goes Missing In 6A State Semifinals

The Doral High School Bulls were unable to overcome a stagnant offense in their 6A State Semifinal matchup against the Miami Central Rockets on Friday night. The Bulls fell to the Rockets by a score of 28-7, ending their season with a record of 12-2.

Doral's offense was held to just 144 total yards, including just 28 yards rushing. Quarterback Anthony Robinson was held to just 102 yards passing, and he threw two interceptions. The Bulls also had a number of penalties that stalled drives.

Miami Central, on the other hand, was able to move the ball effectively on offense. The Rockets rushed for 256 yards, and quarterback Jalen Reed threw for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

The Rockets took control of the game early, scoring on their first two possessions. Doral was able to get on the board late in the first half, but the Rockets answered with a touchdown just before halftime to take a 21-7 lead into the break.

The Bulls were unable to get anything going in the second half, and the Rockets cruised to the victory.

The loss was a tough one for Doral, which had been one of the top teams in the state all season. However, the Bulls can take pride in their accomplishments this season. They won their first district title since 2015, and they made it to the state semifinals for the first time since 2014.
