TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — After falling just short of a state title crown in 2021, this year's Berkeley Preparatory School varsity football team can now call themselves kings of the gridiron.

Berkeley Prep won the state championship for the first time in school history on Saturday after defeating Miami-based Norland High School 28-20 in Tallahassee.

It is also the first state title for 70-year-old Dominick Ciao, who is in his 17th year as head coach of the team.
