Preview: 

Desoto (0-1) will have the tough task of bouncing back against the #2 ranked team in the Nation, IMG Academy.

Many people will tell you that IMG is really 1-1. They loss a preseason game to American Heritage 19-7 before beating Miramar 38-14 last Sunday.

DeSoto took a shocking "L" against district rival Arlington Martin 46-26 after being held scoreless the entire 1st half of the game. The offense averaged 48 points per game last year.

New DeSoto coach Todd Peterman says they have had a great week of practice since the loss. Players seem to be more engaged than ever and will need that fire for their home opener this Saturday.

IMG's offense is led by QB Shea Patterson, a Mississippi recruit and ranked at the top of most quartback lists. He threw three touchdowns in the first half and did not play in the second half against Miramar.

DeSoto QB Tristan Wallace, Ohio State recruit, had a bad completion percentage even though he threw for 484 yards in an effort to catch-up.

This will be the best matchup of the week nationwide...

NFL: Victor Cruz - Anatomy of a Negotiation

Victor Cruz was like many undrafted players, an unknown commodity with huge ambitions. The Patterson, New Jersey product initially signed with Abu Toppin of Reliance Sports Management (RSM). As an Undrafted Free Agent (UDFA) with the hometown club, Cruz burst onto the scene in his first preseason, but was relegated to Injured Reserve.


After a breakout 82 catch  2011 campaign, Cruz hired Malik Shareef for representation, and heralded marketing firm IMG Worldwide for off the field opportunities. Cruz delivered another strong 2012 season, becoming Eli Manning's goto wideout. Earning $ 540,000 in base salary, Cruz's production exceeded his compensation significantly.
