Huntley recognized by the Miami Dolphins It was only fitting that at the final Miami Dolphins game of the 2015 season against the New England Patriots that Hallandale High’s all-time leading passer, Tyler Huntley, would be honored as South Florida Player of the Year.

While it is often tough to tell, but we do have a winter here in south Florida.
