For much of the past five decades, we have catered to college coaches and football fans by offering up a weekly scoreboard.
This is a service we have long provided – contacting coaching and athletic directors to bring you the most accurate scoreboard possible.
Because we understand that there is a need to follow teams and players to see how they are doing, we continue to give you scores – in alphabetical order so they are easier to follow.
Remember, we continue to be a source for football prospects and teams YEAR-ROUND – unlike other places who take months away from their total coverage.
If you have scores that we may not list – or changes – please contact us via e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Our objective is to get the scores right – and not necessarily first!

It’s another week of football as the popular and nationally recognized South Florida High School Sports radio show with Larry Blustein on 104.3 FM WQAM moved to Wednesday night this week - brought to you courtesy of University of Miami Health Sports Medicine.
Each week, the program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.
The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.
The program, which has been run for nearly two decades and has been rated as one of the top programs of its kind has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on high sports and the newsmakers.
Here is a look at the way Wednesday night went:
Imagine leading your team in sacks. Imagine leading the state in that category. How about the nation! Miami Killian senior defensive end Dashaun Collins will head into Week No. 8 with 19 quarterback sacks, which is good enough to be the best in the country! He spoke about how he improved from his junior season.

For the past three and a half seasons, Christian Cassidy has learned, matured and has become a leader as an offensive lineman at Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons. As a team captain, he has been instrumental in paving the way for a solid running game – while providing protection for the quarterback. While he may not play football in college, he does have his career plans in order.

With the University of Miami having this week off to rest after a physical five-game stretch, all eyes will be on Hard Rock Stadium a week from Saturday night for the annual showdown with rival Florida State University. Jazz Santana from The Sixth Ring Canes Podcast looked at this football program and how depth has paved the way so far.

With St. Thomas Aquinas holding on to the No. 1 spot nationally, all the Raiders have to do is continue to win and take home a national title. But as Zack Poff from Max Preps told our audience, there are some quality programs across the country who could be in the same position. Several south Florida teams are among the best in the country.

While everyone is paying attention to the inaugural “Open Division”, Andre Fernandez is looking at what some of the other Miami-Dade and Broward programs will be able to do away from that classification. Several teams are looking to find their way to Pitbull Stadium in the second week of December to play for a state title in 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A as well.

Speaking of the Open Division, there are several teams who are currently not mentioned as one of the eight best in the state – and while there is a long way to go – the formula for choosing this inaugural field is not very popular with the human element losing out to a computer ranking. Jon Santucci from USA Today has some valid ideas on how this should all work.

We probably say this every year, but the high school football season is certainly moving quickly. Maybe too fast for some.
When things kickoff today in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, we will have reached the eighth week of the 2026 season, which signals that every game played will have some meaning for teams who are headed to the post season.
With district championships still at stake along with the inaugural “Open Division”, the next few weeks will define teams and players.
Key West (3-4, 2-1) at Miami Central (5-1, 3-0), Traz, 7. A win by the Rockets will all but wrap up the district title – with only North Miami Beach left. But this program – with next week’s GMAC Week matchup against Miami Christopher Columbus and a regular season-ending game against Miami Carol City will tell a lot about their post season plans. They will either play for the Open Division title or the 3A crown.

The great thing about football in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties is the opportunity to watch so many quality athletes – year-round.
Every Wednesday we have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on talented football prospects – in all classes – that are making an impression locally, regionally, statewide and even nationally.
While we turn on the TV every Saturday and watch talented players who grew up in the #305 and #954 making an impact, we also look back to where it all began – on youth and high school football fields from the Florida Keys to the Palm Beach County line.
Today, we bring you five more football players who are not only making an impression here but also making a name for themselves as players that college coaches and fans are watching all over.
2028 - Drew Barbar, WR, 6’0, 160, Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy. One of the real under-the-radar athletes who has been known as a basketball prospect, but his work on the football field has certainly gotten him into the spotlight on an offense that is always wide open and is fun to be a part of. Currently leads the state of Florida with 58 receptions for 1,212 yards and 11 scores. He is also versatile enough to play in the defensive secondary.

2027 – Peyton Catronio, Hybrid/LB/Athlete, 5’11, 200, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons – 3.8 GPA. One of the leaders on a Chiefs’ defense that has been impressive all season. Had a huge outing on Monday night in a 44-0 win against Fort Lauderdale Dillard in a key district matchup with 3 sacks and numerous pressures in a shutout performance. This is someone that has been a catalyst and senior leader for this program and also gets it done in the classroom.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19992036/6ac466719e1a895bd6b7d5a6
2027 - Dashaun Collins, DE, 6’3, 205, Miami Killian. May we introduce you to the nation’s leader in quarterback sacks! This impressive talent hit the ground running and has been impressive for the Cougars and head coach Rudy Trevino during a district championship season and 6-1 record with 19 sacks. This is someone who many had not had on their radar screen, but this young man is a difference maker who is on a mission to not only get this program deep in the state playoffs but also make a name for himself – which he has!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/25521640/Dashaun-Collins
2027 - Abdul Hopkins, Athlete, 6’2, 190, Hialeah American. When we watched him earlier this season in a game against North Miami, this impressive and way under-the-radar talent completely took over the game for the Patriots with three interceptions and numerous plays that gave this program a huge win. That was certainly not the only contest that this impressive talent had a hand in. In last week’s victory, he added two more picks and sits atop all Florida players with 7 7 for a team is 5-2 and headed toward the post season.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/22794182/Abdul-Hopkins-jr
2028 – Jeremiah Milcent, QB, 5’11, 155, Coconut Creek Monarch – 3.8 GPA. When we watched him earlier this season, there were very few – if anyone who had an idea how good this quality talent could be. Those who had watched him at the youth level and followed him in high school knew that he had the potential to be special. But through the first seven games of the season – against a very competitive schedule – this young man has thrown for 1,765 yards and 16 touchdowns, turning the heads of college recruiters and opposing teams.

Welcome to 2026. A time where every high school football fan in the state of Florida has their own opinion on teams – whether they have watched them or not.
It is a year where a computer is holding everyone hostage, waiting to see what is spit out as the inaugural “Open Division” is becoming a major joke - with no human element (journalists and recruiting experts) having no input on what the final eight teams will look like.
While we never will profess to be the definitive answer when it comes to anything – the very fact that during a period of eight months, visiting camps, combines, spring practices and games and 7-on-7 events, there are very few websites or individuals who see as many players and teams, which may not make what we do 100 percent correct, but certainly it gives what we do a huge advantage on someone who sits home and watches scores or watches the same film everyone has access to.
With that said, we move into Week 8 – with key district games taking center stage and dictating where teams stand.
Here is a look at the Top 30 programs for Week 8 – with additional teams that have a chance to be special this year:
1 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (5A, 6-0).
