While this has been a fast-moving high school football season, we hit this Friday with a number of teams that still have post-season hopes.
As the “Open Division” plays itself out via the Max Preps computer ranking, there are other programs who are using these final two weeks to position themselves for the post season.
While fans have gotten caught up in the eight teams who will play in the post season as part of the inaugural Open Division, there are so many other teams who have played amazing football this season and will have their opportunity to compete for the 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A state titles that will still be up for grabs at Pitbull Stadium on the campus of Florida International University.
While there are several games that will be played today and tomorrow, here are two spotlight contests to watch:
Miami Christopher Columbus (8-1) vs. Miami Northwestern (6-3), Traz, 7:30. On the surface this shouldn’t be the battle that it could have been the past few years, it shows how quickly things can change in high school football. Last year at this time, the Explorers were finishing with five wins while the Bulls were playing for their second straight state title.
Because players change schools at a record pace, and coaches are on the move, the landscape, especially in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties can change – just like the that.
While Christopher Columbus is one of those teams’ 100 percent headed to the inaugural Open Division after beating one national power and taken the other down to the wire, Miami Northwestern has struggled, although they did with a district title.

We are down to the final two weeks of the 2026 high school football season here in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties and several questions still remain.
With district titles and playoff slotting still hanging in the balance, we get things started tonight with a few local matchups that will be very interesting to watch.
As this season has focused on the inaugural Open Division, a majority of the teams who will play in the post season have had their eyes on a much different prize.
If you happen to be among those eight programs who will compete for a first ever title in that newly formed division, you will spend the post season testing the uncharted waters for the first time. If you are either competing for a 1A-6A title or the several independent crowns, the next few weeks will be a time to prepare.
Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (6-2) at Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (6-2), 6. This is a makeup game of a contest that was scheduled earlier this month during the rainy season.
Two teams who have wrapped up their district titles – while the Lions are still in the hunt for an Open Division spot, which was pretty much a given since the start of the season, despite losing twice.
The Chiefs have started to get hot as they look to repeat last year’s playoff success as a Final Four team. Last year in 2A and this season as a member of 3A.
HOLLYWOOD CHAMINADE-MADONNA LIONS
Coconut Creek Monarch, W 49-22
Sierra Canyon, California, L 24-7
Plantation American Heritage, W 46-27

Miami Archbishop Carroll (6-1) vs. Miami Killian (7-1), Southridge, 7. Here is a classic late season matchup between two teams that won their district and are headed to the post season.
For the 1A Bulldogs, their only loss came to state-rated Tampa Berkeley Prep in a game where they battled for all four quarters before dropping a close matchup. This is a well-coached team with some top-flight players.
The 2A Cougars have been on a roll since lose their opener the annual “Big Cat” contest against Miami Palmetto. They have met several challenges along the way and come into the game loaded on both sides of the ball.
This is a fast and aggressive defense that will be facing off against a challenging Wing-T offensive attack.

While we have just a few weeks left in the 2026 season for some programs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, there are still gifted prospects doing their thing on the football field.
With so many talented players who are competing every week, it is not easy to shine a spotlight on all of them.
While we are fortunate to see more prospects live than most – during the course of a year – even we don’t have the chance to watch every player in this impressive two-county area.
Because we post more player information – year-round in every class – at least we give some exposure to prospects that normally wouldn’t have that chance to make an impact.
Whether it’s a camp, combine, practice, game or one of the many 7-on-7 events that are held, we have long provided that forum for these young man to shine.
Each week, we bring you several players that deserve the attention, and while we have the pleasure of doing this statewide, many prospects are put out there for colleges – as well as fans – to see.
Today, we have five players that we are helping to promote – as hundreds of colleges view what we post each day.
2027 – Deandre Leonard, WR/DB, 6’0, 170, Miami Gulliver Prep. One of the versatile prospects that we watched and talked about in the off season and he has certainly delivered as one of the top pass catchers and athletes. College coaches we talked with had been impressed with everything he brought to the table. His 3.5 grade point average in the classroom coupled with what he did as a prospect on the football field has been a winning combination.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19594334/Deandre-Leonard
2028 – Malick Ouattara, DE/DL, 6’2, 250, Coral Gables. After watching him perform early in the season, here was a player that we have followed all season. A solid underclass defensive line prospect who is talented, strong and has emerged as one of the top tacklers and sack specialists in Florida. His high school coaches spoke highly about his potential and college coaches who had the chance to watch his film were indeed impressed. Expect him to become one of the top players this off season.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19956003/Malick-Ouattara
2028 - Keion Thomas, LB, 6’1, 205, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna – 3.4 GPA. Track & Field. While he started out at Miami Central and his the brother of former Rocket and current NFL standout Keir Thomas, this is a gifted player who is making a name for himself. A talented playmaker who is part of a Lions’ squad that continues to improve on the defensive side of the ball. Look back at this season so far and you will see that this is someone who continues to make a major contribution. Another player who is getting college interest and will see it pickup during the post season. Has a very high ceiling and will continue to improve as he grows and matures.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/26930433/Keion-Thomas
2027 – Reginald “R.J.” Wayne, Edge/OLB, 6’0, 210, Davie Western. Here is a gifted prospect that we started to watch in the off season as he took part in several events, followed him throughout the spring and into this season where his game has taken off. The son of former University of Miami and NFL standout receiver Reggie Wayne, this impressive young man is carving out his own success as a sack and tackling leader for a Wildcats’ team that has surprised everyone as a force in the competitive 6A classification.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/22496309/RJ-Wayne
2027 - Volodymyr Yankevych, DT, 6’4, 265, Fort Lauderdale – 2.6 GPA. For someone who has not played the sport of football for that long, this is someone that does have a solid future. A super athletic two-way line performer, he has been a huge catalyst for the unbeaten Flying Ls. College coaches who have watched his tape – along with recruiting analysts that have watched him play live believe that this is someone who will play at the next level, continue to mature and learn and will one day blow up into an athletic big man who is quick, agile and very talented. Here is a name, while tougher to pronounce, that you will want to keep an eye on.
