HOLLYWOOD – Clinging to a single point lead, St. Thomas Aquinas, the No. 1 team in the nation, was on the verge having their 19-game winning streak end abruptly as placekicker Dylan Semmartin lined up for a 33-yard field goal.
Wyatt Smith, a 6-6 senior defensive end who is headed to Ohio State University and one of the best in the country, saved the day for the No. 1 ranked team on the nation when he extended his lengthy frame blocking the attempt with 1:28 left in regulation.
The Raiders, who were making their first ever trip to the Hollywood camps for a varsity football game, ran out the clock to remain undefeated with a 21-20 victory Friday night before the largest crowd ever at this school that has watched many big games over the years.
“This a really big outcome,” said Smith, who is among the top sack leaders in Florida. “We’ve been wrapping this in practice every single day, for moments like this. This was my first block on a big game. We’re going to finish through the whistle. We always say play through 48 and we did.”
It was the second blocked kick of the game for the Raiders, the other on an extra-point attempt that would have given Chaminade a 14-point lead.
“Otherwise, we dominated the game,” said Chaminade-Madonna coach Damien Jones when asked about the two blocked kicks that determined the outcome. “They are the ‘best’ team in the country and we dominated them. But you can’t play football without special teams, and we gave up points in that area. That came back to bite us.”
The Raiders (6-0) rallied from a 20-7 third quarter deficit on a three-yard run by Ryan Mathis with 4:36 left in the quarter. They took the lead on another Mathis touchdown when back-up quarterback Cody Conness completes a middle screen pass to the senior running back with 10:55 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Despite the loss, Chaminade still leads the all-time series 8-5, with the all-time point deferential of five points (277-272) in the Lions favor.
The last time Aquinas survived a one-point victory came in the third game of the 2023 season with a 37-36 win over Cocoa. How rare has a single point victory been for the Raiders. Well, prior to the win over Cocoa, it was a 13-12 victory over Pompano Beach Blanche Ely in a first-round playoff game in 2007.
The last two times, the Raiders won the state championship.
“Our kids put in so much time and opportunity to put in a great effort exposing their talent to the world,” said Aquinas’ coach Roger Harriott. “Chaminade has nothing to hang their hat on. It’s not the outcome they expected. I’m proud of both sides.”
Chaminade-Madonna (4-2) proved they had grit in the attempt to win this rivalry game.
They stopped Aquinas on a potential clinching touchdown inside the one-yard line with a successful goal-line stand with 6:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Junior quarterback Brady Quinn guided Lions into scoring position and a potential game-winning drive that would have covered 99 yards. He finished his night with 18 completions for 263 yards and a touchdown. He also had two rushing scores on 1 and 18 yards that gave the Lions a 14-7 lead at the half, finishing the night with 88 rushing yards.
Quinn also threw a short touchdown pass to Tromon Isaac Jr. on the Lions first possession of the second half for the 20-7 lead. Isaac finished with six catches for 145 yards.
Aquinas will look to extend their winning streak to 21 games when they host McArthur next Friday. Chaminade-Madonna will play at Cardinal Newman, the defending Class 2A state champ, in a key district game.

On their very first trip ever to play a varsity football game in Hollywood at Chaminade-Madonna, the nation’s No. 1 team had to come from behind and escape.
Trailing 20-7 in the second half, it appeared that everything that head coach Roger Harriott and his football had worked for would come to an end.
A program that came in with 19 consecutive wins and domination of football in the state got much more than they had ever expected from the 2A Lions and head coach Dameon Jones.
A more than standing room only crowd watched the Raiders block a potential game-winning field in the closing minute and come away with a 21-20 win and maintain the top spot nationally – while increasing their chances of being the No. 1 overall seed in the inaugural “Open Division”.
But even in a loss, the Lions, who will travel to state-rated West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman this week with the district championship at stake, also remained as one of the eight teams who will compete for that elite and first ever state title in that newly created classification.
Cypress Bay (Weston) 31, West Broward (Pembroke Pines) 18. The Lightning (7-0) remained unbeaten and wrapped up a district title as they look to get respect from the media across the state. While they aren’t in the race for the Open Division, they are a 6A program that could make some noise when the state playoffs begin as they will be one of the top seeds in the region.
Coconut Creek 38, Coconut Creek Monarch 14. This long-awaited matchup saw the Cougars win the Mayor’s Cup and establish themselves as a team to watch when the state playoffs begin. While they have some tough opponents coming up, they believe that they are putting things together at the right time.
Fort Lauderdale 49, Pembroke Pines Charter 6. The Flying Ls stay perfect as they are on a quest to win all their games this season – without a post season since they are an independent team this season. Coach Richard Dunbar and his staff have done a great job with this program.
Grayson, Georgia 10, Carol City (Miami) 9. While the Chiefs are 3-3 and lost to an average Georgia team, the computers still have a love affair with this football program as they remain one of the eight teams in the running for the inaugural “Open Division” with a GMAC meeting with Miami Palmetto and a season-ending contest against Miami Central. Take nothing away from this team or the process, but a computer should never be the definitive answer for any ranking!
Immaculata LaSalle (Miami) 13, Mater Academy (Hialeah Gardens) 7. Undefeated in last year’s regular season and 6-0 this year has the Royal Lions in a position to be a top seed in the 2A region once again – and while they are getting little respect – all they do is win and compete.
Northwestern (Miami) 17, American (Hialeah) 13. Down most of the game, the Bulls hung tough and captured a district title against a quality opponent that had used a strong defense. With a tough stretch of games, this was indeed very important for Northwestern to get out of the contest with a victory.

While St. Thomas Aquinas has dominated football in the state of Florida – especially in south Florida – the seven-time defending state champions will once again be in the spotlight when they make their first ever varsity appearance to the campus of Chaminade-Madonna in Hollywood.
The No. 1 rated team in the country will bring their 5-0 team south to play the Lions (4-1) in a game that has now become a yearly meeting.
Two years ago these two met at FIU, but this year the Lions will keep the home game on campus where seating and parking will be a challenge.
While the Raiders come in as a favorite for the 6:30 p.m. kickoff, both teams are loaded with tremendous coaching and big-time prospects.
At stake will be a place in the inaugural “Open Division” where the Raiders own the top spot and the Lions will have to come up with a few more wins to be one of the eight programs.

THE BATTLE FOR COCONUT CREEK TAKES CENTER STATE
Coconut Creek Monarch (3-2) at Coconut Creek (4-1), 7. If you are a football fan in this area tonight, this is a game that you may want to check out.
Both programs play their home games on this field – so things should be even as far as advantage.
This is a game that is not a district contest but will go a long way in determining the post season – as each team has played a similar schedule and are pretty much an even matchup.
While they aren’t in the same district, both are 5A, so this may not be the only meeting of the 2026 season.

Florida State High School Football Scoreboard – Week 7. https://larryblustein.com/news/florida-state-high-school-football-scoreboard-week-7
While some football programs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties are still consumed with the newly formed “Open Division” – where eight programs, selected by a computer, will play for the “elite” state championships, 90 percent of the other programs are looking at the reality.
The reality is to win a district title and advance to play for a 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A state title like they have for decades and decades.
As we are now in Week 7 the priority is to get into the state playoffs and compete in the post-season, and for several schools, this is the week that things become real.
Fort Lauderdale Dillard (4-2, 1-0) at Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbon(3-2, 0-0) , 7. After six weeks of the season, both teams have been tested, and this evening’s matchup is by far the biggest game either team will play. Winner will most likely capture the district title – while the loser will have to scramble to get a state playoff spot in 3A.
Both talented and well coached teams will be the centerpiece contest on Thursday in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
Class 3A statewide is very competitive, so gaining any home field advantage is essential.

Hialeah American (5-1, 0-0) at Miami Northwestern (4-2, 2-0), Traz, 7. This is a tale of two programs that are here for different reasons.
The Patriots have not enjoyed this kind of success in a long time, and so far this year, they have accomplished some things that haven’t happened around this campus in a long time. A win this season would not only give them a major edge to win a district title, but it would be a program-defining contest – for sure!
On the other side of the field is a program that has been to the state title game the past two years and have enjoyed national success. This by the Bulls’ standards has been a disappointing season – with losses to 1A Hawthorne and last week a humiliating setback against bitter rival Miami Central. But that all being said, a win this evening will give them another district title – and with a few tough games to close the regular season – some momentum.
