Sharks roll past Stallions to stay perfect
DELRAY BEACH — Daniel Luque remembers last time University School visited American HeritageDelray.
It was 2011 and Luque served as assistant for the team — then the Suns — as they faced the Stallions in the Class 3A regional finals. American Heritage-Delray put an end to the University School’s season, topping the Suns 31-20 en route to a state title.

University, ranked No. 1 in the AP’s Class 4A state poll, struck first on its opening possession. After taking over on its own 24-yard line, the Sharks drove downfield behind a pair of big plays from running back McIntosh. The highly-touted junior capped off the drive with an 18-yard touchdown catch from Bubrick to give University an early 7-0 lead.
Later in the second quarter, McIntosh put the Sharks on the scoreboard again. On third-and-goal from the five-yard line, the junior burst past the
