The 2025 high school football season is headed into the final week of the regular season, and Miami-Dade and Broward schools with big dreams at the start of the year, are now faced with not making the playoffs.

With most of the state playoff teams already set for next week, many players and coaches will end their season this week – without having the opportunity to play into the post season.

While there were some disappointments over the past three months – with teams falling short of their pre-season goals – there were other programs who will realize the opportunity to compete in the post season.

The final week of the regular season will watch some interesting matchups with prospects getting that final chance to get some film that will sell themselves to colleges and universities in hopes that a coach will see something they like and offer them an opportunity.

While this is the end of the regular season, we will certainly follow and rank these teams until the final weekend of the season in December at Pitbull Stadium in Miami.

Once again on Monday night the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with seven impressive guests.

Each and every week, the FM 104.3 WQAM radio 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 show, which has run for nearly two decades, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on c

Here is a look at the way Monday went:

It’s the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday in Jacksonville as Billy Gonzalez makes his head coaching debut in a huge game. Corey Bender from Gators Online talked about this much-anticipated contest.

With all the coaching changes being made, the transfer portal could be very active in the coming weeks before the first National Signing Day arrives in late December. Marcus Benjamin from Rivals.com spoke about some of the prospects who could flip their commitment.

We have reached the final week of the 2025 high school football regular season and there are plenty of teams still hoping to play for a state title in Miami in December. Drew Johnson from Prep Redzone Florida broke down some of the classifications.

As we head toward the final week of the 2025 high school football season we have more than a good read on which area programs will be putting up the equipment on Saturday – and those who will start getting ready for the state playoffs.

For six-time defending state champion Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, a 19-12 road win against Plantation American Heritage showed the 5A Raiders that they are ready to defend – with 1A power Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna coming up this Friday at home.

The Lions rolled to a 47-0 win against 2A Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, who will also bne headed to the state playoffs next week.

Defending 3A state champion Miami Northwestern (9-0) ended the regular season with a 49-0 district win against Miami St. Brendan.

With one final game this week remaining against Miami Carol City, 3A Miami Central (7-1) picked up another win, 39-0, in district play against Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy.

After suffering their first loss of the season, 6A Miami Southridge was off this past week as they get ready for their regular season finale against Homestead South Dade. The Spartans will be the No. 1 seed when the state playoffs begin.

With a perfect season on the line this week against Deerfield Beach, 4A Fort Lauderdale Dillard rolled to a district-clinching 41-13 win against Boynton Beach to move to 9-0.

One of the hottest programs – Pembroke Pines West Broward flexed some more muscle with a convincing 49-0 district win against Miami Dr. Krop moving to 7-2 and will be a force when the playoffs start in 6A.The McArthur Mustangs (7-2) have completed their turnaround this season as they will also be a team to keep an eye on in 5A. They already lost to No. 1 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas in district play and believe they have closed the gap on the Raiders if they should meet again.

While they are a huge surprise to many around south Florida and across the state – because many just do not get out and watch enough programs in person, 1A Miami True North Classical Academy (6-2) is a team that continues to turn heads – and while this may not be the year they knock off Chaminade-Madonna, the Titans won their sixth straight this past week – beating a slumping Miami Christopher Columbus Explorers team.

Miami Palmetto (7-2) will be looking for a strong finish this week against Fort Myers Bishop Verot and will be the top seed in 7A next week. Can the Panthers finally break through?

Another program that turned heads with their play this year are the Mavericks of Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy (7-2). A surprising district champion in 4A, many are still not taking this program as a serious state contender, that would be a mistake. This is a well coached and very talented team.

Because the “experts” in south Florida continue to live in the past and only watch the fringe teams from afar, Miami Immaculata LaSalle has really taken everyone by storm in 2A, and the Royal Lions are looking for a perfect 10-0 season in the final week of the season after knocking off rising 5A team Hialeah Gardens Maters Academy this past week.

Another dangerous team come playoffs will be Miami Norland that climbed back to the .500 (5-5) level this past week with a one-point district thriller against Plantation and will be a force in 4A as a potential spoiler.

Speaking of dangerous, Coconut Creek (7-2) could be a team in the state playoffs that won’t go down easy. The Cougars battled state-rated and unbeaten Delray Atlantic in the district title game, losing 33-30 a few weeks ago and will be a program to watch in 5A.

We all know that Class 6A will be the most competitive come state playoff time and Coconut Creek Monarch (5-4) may come in as the most battle tested, winning yet another district title this past week over Sunrise Piper. The Knights played a very competitive schedule and it is starting to show as nothing will intimidate them.

Despite their loss to No. 3 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna to end the regular season, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (6-3) could be that thorn as one of the top seeds in 2A. The Chiefs have played up and down football during the season but are capable of raising the bar.

Speaking of being able to raise the bar, Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy (7-2) had been the talk of teams in south Florida most of the season, but the Lions have slipped the past two weeks. Do they have enough left in the tank to be a force in the post season? They end with Miami Jackson this week.

After losing a thriller, 19-12, to top-rated Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, the defending state champion Plantation American Heritage Patriots head into the post season with a rare losing (4-5) record. But they have shown when healthy they can play with anyone and will still be a team to watch in 4A.

Plantation’s one-point loss to Miami Norland this past week certainly stung, but the 5-4 Colonels still believe that they can be a force in the post-season. After this week’s annual meeting with longtime rival South Plantation, they will see what happens in the “new season”.

In a year where turning your back on teams that may not be popular to many has become fashionable, the Miami Killian Cougars (7-2) will enter the 2A state playoffs as a truly dangerous program with a chance to make life tough on several schools.

We have now arrived at the final few weeks of the 2025 high school football season.

Usually, this time of year watches the local teams go through the motions, it is far from it as Friday’s competitive schedule will show you with playoff positions and district titles up for grabs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

There are six interesting games that fans will want to check out on this Friday – with something at stake in each one of them.

No. 1 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (7-1) at No. 14 Plantation American Heritage (4-4), 7. The six-time defending state champion Raiders have revenge on their mind after losing at home to the Patriots last season. On the other side of the ball, the Patriots are faced with a losing regular season for the first time in a long, long time.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS RAIDERS

Santa Ana Mater Dei, California, L 26-23

Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson, W 72-6

Miami Christopher Columbus, W 42-7

Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, L 13-10
10/24 – Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas

No. 19 Coconut Creek Monarch (4-4) at Sunrise Piper (5-3), 7. For the second straight year, this is the district title game, and while the Bengals haven’t been in the spotlight too much this season, a win over a battle tested Knights’ squad would certainly remedy that.

MONARCH KNIGHTS

Jacksonville Bolles, L 34-15

Deerfield Beach, W 48-10

Ramsey Don Bosco Prep, New Jersey, L 38-21

Sanford Seminole, W 34-20

Fort Lauderdale, W 54-0

10/24 - Coconut Creek Monarch

11/1 – Hollywood South Broward

No. 11 Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy (7-1) at No. 17 Miami Immaculata La Salle (8-0), 7. If it weren’t for a loss on the road last week against Lakeland Lake Gibson, this would be a game that would have matched the unbeatens. But still, there is plenty surrounding this contest that will showcase two programs that are on their way to the state playoffs in a few weeks.

MATER ACADEMY LIONS

Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy, W 34-12

Doral Academy, W 34-6

Hialeah Gardens, W 62-0

Miramar, W 20-0

Pembroke Pines Charter, W 54-0

Lakeland Lake Gibson, L 34-26

10/24 - @Miami Immaculata LaSalle

10/31 - @Miami Jackson

IMMACULATA LASALLE ROYAL LIONS

Miami High, W (Forfeit 2-0)

Miami Jackson, W 50-0

Miami Belen Jesuit, W 34-3

Miami Booker T. Washington, W 31-0

Miami Ransom Everglades, W 21-17

Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy, W 42-0

Miami Springs, W 49-12

Miami St. Brendan, W 40-0

10/24 – Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy

10/31 - @Miami Dr. Krop

No. 3 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (6-1) at No. 8 Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (6-2), 7. Usually the national powerhouse Lions cruise into the state playoffs with a few easier games, but that’s not the case here. This week, it’s the top 2A team in south Florida – with a red-hot Chiefs’ squad. Next week, it’s No. 1 St. Thomas Aquinas on the road. The Lions beat both teams last year – and each have a little payback on their collective minds.

CHAMINADE-MADONNA LIONS

Baltimore St. Frances Academy, Maryland, L 42-13

Hollywood McArthur, W 28-14

Plantation American Heritage, W 28-24

Miami Edison, W 56-6

Davie Western, W 56-0

Coconut Creek Monarch, W 28-7

Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, W 60-0

10/24 - @Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons

10/31 - @Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas

CARDINAL GIBBONS CHIEFS

Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, L 42-35

Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian Academy, W 33-6

Coconut Creek, W 11-6

Hollywood South Broward, W 52-6

Pembroke Pines West Broward, L 49-38

Hallandale, W 51-14

Deerfield Beach, W 45-7

Boca Raton, W 35-13

10/24 – Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna

10/30 - Miramar

No. 15 Miami Norland (4-5) at No. 16 Plantation (5-3), PAL, 7. To say that this has been an unusual season for the Vikings would be an understatement – with a coaching change this past week as the latest distraction. The Colonels are coming off some big wins and can put themselves at the top of the crazy district race. Either way, for the second straight year, all four teams will qualify for the state playoffs – and all four teams can be dangerous!

NORLAND VIKINGS

Lake Mary, L 30-29

Miami Carol City, W 42-13

Homestead South Dade, W 49-3

Miami Northwestern, L 49-21

Delray Beach Atlantic, L 43-20

Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, L 21-14

Cocoa, W 28-6

Plantation American Heritage, L 42-21

Miami Christopher Columbus, W 30-14

PLANTATION COLONELS

Davie Western, W 18-0

Miramar, L 13-12

Pembroke Pines West Broward, L 31-6

Sunrise Piper, W 25-13

Hollywood South Broward, W 28-6

Plantation American Heritage, L 28-13

Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, W 28-27

Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, W 47-0

10/24 – Miami Norland

10/30 - @South Plantation

No. 10 Miami True North Classical Academy (5-2) at No. 20 Miami Christopher Columbus (3-6), 6. This is another game that really will take center stage because of all the story lines that surround this matchup. First of all, this is the first losing season for the 7A state power Explorers, who didn’t win the district title. But despite all the negatives is that they are still in the state playoffs and are really dangerous. While Columbus is easily the most known program of these two, the 1A Titans have been building the past five plus years and have won five straight and are loaded with prospects that believe they are on a path to pulling some major surprises in the state playoffs.

TRUE NORTH CLASSICAL ACADEMY TITANS

Sarasota Cardinal Mooney, L 41-14

Fort Myers Bishop Verot, L 44-34

Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace, W 49-18
