They are planning to do that through senior leadership with guys like wide receiver Steven Claude and linebacker Doyle Grimes. Grimes recently transferred to Champagnat from South Dade High.
"This year as a team captain, it's my responsibility to make sure (our team) is in the weight room everyday and during conditioning that everyone is giving it their all," said Claude. "I've got make sure we go back and win another (state title).
"I am just working on my craft everyday and helping the team as much as I can to make it back to the state championship game," Grimes added.
While they are both focused on leading Champagnat to back-to-back state titles, they are both also focused on where they are going to be playing their college football.
Claude (below), who stands in at 6-foot-1, 184-pounds, says his biggest offers heading into his senior season are, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Duke, and Utah.
While he doesn't have a top 3 or any major favorites, UCF, Vanderbilt, and West Virginia are recruiting him the hardest and that he plans to play his college ball outside the state of Florida. He also noted that he would like to commit before the regular season starts.
Just like Claude, Grimes also wants to commit before the regular season starts.
Grimes currently holds offers from schools such as West Virginia, Syracuse, Marshall, amongst others.
"I'm really just looking for a place where I feel like I'm at home and where the coaches show me a lot of love," said Grimes
Standing in at six-foot-two, 200-pounds, Grimes is physically imposing and has room to add 15-20 pounds on his frame.
On the field, Claude and Grimes can not be stopped, and off the field they are encouraging their teammates to have the same mindset.
