The football players from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida got to play starring roles in the dress rehearsal for the Super Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas, welcome to the Super Bowl.
“They basically split us up, one side was the Chiefs and the other side was the 49ers,” Stoneman Douglas coach Quentin Short said. “The smiles I saw on these kids’ faces, the excitement of running out of the tunnels just like the teams will, they were having a blast, man. To be on the actual field the Super Bowl is going to be played on, it was awesome.”
Stoneman Douglas has received plenty of support from the South Florida sports community since the shootings two years ago. The Miami Heat sent players and coaches to meet with students and other NBA teams have made similar gestures, the Miami Marlins invited the school’s baseball team to play at Marlins Park, the Dolphins have given money and hosted clinics for players and the Florida Panthers brought the school’s hockey team onto the ice to meet a surprise guest — the Stanley Cup.
