There was supposed to be a battle on the field tonight between two of the most notable South Florida High School teams, Miami Northwestern and Glades Central. That game has been cancelled due to gang violence in the Belle Glade area. Per the Miami Northwestern Twitter feed:
Tonight's game vs Glades Central in Belle Glade has been cancelled. Glades Central will forfeit the game due to Gang Violence in the area.

There was a shooting near the school yesterday that put the school on lockdown that led to this decision. This is a sad situation but hopefully the community of Belle Glade can come together and stop the violence.
