Well, the fifth edition of the Broward County National High School Football Showcase is in the books – and never before has this impressive event pegged the national meter like this past week.

Starting with the Hollywood Chaminade contest with Sierra Canyon from California, and Pembroke Pines West Broward and Powder Springs McEachern from Georgia to the doubleheader on Saturday, this quality football gathering made headlines from coast-to-coast.

Along with the second week of the Miami-Dade and Broward County teams that competed against national programs, this was truly a week that will set the tone for the rest of the season.

As we look back at this second week of the 2026 season, the great thing about football is there are many weeks left to set the tone for this year – where a number of area programs will be right in the middle of the pack for the inaugural “Open Division” as well as the 1A-6A state titles.

Here is a look back at some of the games that will be a sign of things to come:

Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas 38, DeSoto, Texas 14. In this much-anticipated matchup between the No. 2 team in the country and the longtime power from the Lone Star State certainly showed why the Raiders are the seven-time defending state champions, beating a program that many regarded as one of the best teams in the country.

When the game came to an end, it was a running clock and total domination as St. Thomas Aquinas showed an ESPN2 audience that they are the best team in the country – and it may not be close.

Miami Christopher Columbus 33, Las Vegas Bishop Gorman 28. The biggest surprise of this week came as the No. 1 team in the land thought it was a formality to head east for the second time in three years to play an unranked program that had never played a game of this caliber on national television.

All day long – in between some weather delays – th Explorers and University of Miami-bound star A’mir Sears dominated the Gaels for over three quarters and pretty much dashed any chance that this perennial powerhouse had of claiming a national title.

While Bishop Gorman was sent back west with a loss, the always state power Explorers are suddenly thrust into a spotlight after a 4-7 season – one of their worst in recent memory.

By the way, Christopher Columbus will have an opportunity to do something perhaps no team has ever done when they travel back to Fort Lauderdale this coming Friday for another battle with the new No. 1 team in the country!

As those games truly grabbed the spotlight, there were others that also will set the tone for the season ahead:

Coconut Creek 33, Miami True North Classical Academy 32. This one, part of the Broward Showcase was a Miami-Dade vs. Broward contest that came down to the final play of the game when the 5A Cougars, at home, edged the 1A Titans. Two well coached and talented teams that have hopes of playing in the post season.

Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons 47, Hollywood McArthur 41. When the season began, all eyes were on the Mustangs as they added prospects over the past two years and looked to repeat last season – when they advanced to the third-round of the state playoffs.

On the other side of the ball were the Chiefs who were a Final 4 2A team from last season. This game went three overtimes before Cardinal Gibbons moved to 2-0 at home.

Lee County, Georgia 23, Miami Carol City 20. For the second straight week the Chiefs were on the road against a quality opponent who has enjoyed plenty of success in southern Georgia. While Carol City is much improved over the last few seasons, and held the lead for much of this game, they would fall short and now come back to south Florida hungry to compete for a state title.

Miami Springs 20, Coral Gables 14. How about first-year head coach T.Y. Hilton and his alma mater as the Golden Hawks came from behind to stay perfect (2-0) with a big win as they are aiming at a post season spot in the state playoffs. The Cavaliers are also much improved this season.

North Miami Beach 27, North Miami 7. As head coach Jeff Bertani begins his 30^th season as head coach of the Chargers, they got the better of their rivals and took back the annual trophy and bragging rights that go along with winning this game. NMB remained unbeaten with the win against the Pioneers.

Plantation American Heritage 35, East St. Louis, Illinois 28 (OT). After losing in the opening game of the season, the Patriots hosted a national power as they were taking part in their fifth Broward Showcase event. Unlike last season when they came from behind to win, this game they had to hold on after building a large lead. The Flyers battled back and sent the contest into overtime before losing in Plantation.

The Main Event is finally here for the Broward National High School Football Showcase.

After last week’s opening-night game with Jacksonville Mandarin and Hollywood McArthur, Thursday’s Powder Springs, Georgia and Pembroke Pines West Broward, and the Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna- Chatsworth Sierra Canyon, California contest on Thursday, and the four games last night, the focus will be directly on Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.

While the scores in all four Friday night games meant so much to south Florida, and of course, Illinois, Colorado and north Florida, it was also very important to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, which benefited from the amazing national exposure. But today,  ESPN2 cameras will give the country a glimpse of the best that high school has to offer as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in this talented land will be on display at one venue for over six hours of football.

Miami Christopher Columbus (1-0) vs. Las Vegas Bishop Gorman (2-0). After a disappointing 4-7 season a year ago, head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers went out and did something about it.

With the addition of several players and new coaches, this program got back to doing what they have done for decades – play winning football and developing talent.

As they get ready for best team in the nation, the focus has to be on not making mistakes and understanding that the team across the line of scrimmage has been there – and more than done that at a national level for decades.

The Gaels come into the 2 p.m. kickoff as huge favorites, having plenty of success against the entire country – Florida included.

While Nevada is not a great football state, having very few teams rated nationally, Bishop Gorman is the standard that continues to get better every year – and as the country watched last week – the knocked off previous No. 1 in California power St. John Bosco.

DeSoto, Texas (0-0) vs. Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (1-0). For years, the state of Texas has produced elite teams, talent and football coaches.

While several Florida programs have traveled to the Lone Star State, coming east has never been a reality – until 6:00 tonight.

With a national television audience watching, the best of Texas will come into place that has not been very friendly to visitors over the years, and they believe they have what it takes to leave the #954 with a win.

On the other side of the ball are the Raiders. The seven-time defending state champions who are No. 2 in the country – and after a few setbacks to open the season the past couple of years – head coach Roger Harriott and his team believe that this could be the most complete and deepest team they have had.

Loaded with elite prospects, this team has a chance to make a legitimate run at a national title – and it all begins tonight!

After last week’s Jacksonville Mandarin win over Hollywood McArthur – and the two games played yesterday, the 2026 Broward County National High School Football Showcase now moves to Friday with four competitive games.

Highlighted by a Miami-Dade vs. BrowaArd matchup and two teams from the state of Florida, this is a day that will offer up eight programs who will indeed share the spotlight with some quality teams.

“We are excited about the four games played today,” said co-founder of this prestigious showcase, Dr. Kevin Perry. “To bring in teams from Illinois and Colorado along with our Florida schools only makes this event so impressive.”

East St. Louis (1-0) at Plantation American Heritage (0-1), 7. For the fifth straight year, the Patriots and head coach Mike Smith are stepping up to play an elite team in the showcase. The two-time defending state champions had numerous injuries in last week’s loss at home to West Boca Raton.

The Flyers come in with an opening-night win against Chicago Mt. Carmel and are loaded and nationally tested through the years.

10/16 – Miami True North Classical Academy

10/23 - @Hollywood McArthur

Miami True North Classical Academy (0-0) at Coconut Creek (1-0), 7. Here is a classic Miami-Dade vs. Broward matchup between two programs that have high hopes this season.

The Titans, a 1A program, is coming off a 10-win season and are loaded with talent and confidence on both sides of the ball as head coach Greg Laferre and his staff continue to build a strong program in southern Miami. Their schedule is one of the most challenging in the state of Florida.

For head coach Chris Yeargin and his football team, there is a sense that this team has the talent and coaching to make a strong run in 2026.

Jacksonville Bolles (0-1) at Archbishop McCarthy (0-0), 7. Last year, the Bulldogs played in the Broward Showcase and rolled to a win against Coconut Creek Monarch on the way to the 2A state title game, which they lost to Sarasota Cardinal Mooney. While they return some quality talent, they also must replace some linemen. They lost their opener against Lake City Columbia.

After losing to Miami Palmetto in the kickoff classic without six starters, the Mavericks and head coach Jake Pew had their season-opener against Royal Palm Beach called off because of bad weather, so this will be their first game of the season as they look to take things one step further. They won the district title a year ago before losing a tough rematch with eventual state champion Plantation American Heritage.

Colorado Springs Pine Creek, Colorado (0-0) vs. Davie Western (1-0), McArthur, 7. The Wildcats and veteran head coach Adam Ratkevich return to the Broward Showcase after being a part of this impressive event for the first three years. After dropping their opener to powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas, they now look toward making the post season.

The Eagles head to south Florida for the first time after a 7-4 season and a first-round state playoff loss. They return several players from last year after a second-place district finish. Starting the season in Florida is something that they have been looking forward to since this matchup was made.
