BOCA RATON – Near the halfway point of the Region 4-4A Cross Country championship on Thursday, South Plantation senior David Lazo was among a group of four runners that has separated itself from the field.
Down that home stretch Lazo pulled away from his challengers to become the regional champion with his best time of the year at 15:33.69 at South County Regional Park.
He advances to the Class 4A state meet at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee on Friday, Nov. 20.
“I worked hard, stay focused and dedicated and tried my best in the race,” said Lazo. “Around about two and quarter mile I decided it was time to go because I knew the other guys were really fast so I ran the kick out of them si they wouldn’t catch me at the end.”
No male runner from a Broward County public school has won an individual state championship since Michael LeValle of Boys Anderson in 1986.
Lazo’s winning time surpassed his personal best of 15:43.9 set at last year’s regional meets. He also won the BCAA Championships earlier this season as a district title last week.
Miami Columbus was the overall team champion. The Cypress Bay and Flanagan boys team finished among the top six teams to advance to the state meet. Grant Evans (South Plantation) and Leonardo Ponce (West Broward) advanced as individual qualifiers.
District champion Elise Brown and BCAA champion Kendall Parrott finished seventh and 13th respectively to lead the St. Thomas Aquinas girls’ team to the region title over second place Spanish River.
Brown’s time was 18:47.29, besting her time of 19:08.9 she ran as the district meet, while Parrott’s 19:09.80 was nearly better than her time at districts.
“I just really wanted to go out with the pack and stay with them,” said Brown. “I did the best that I could. I was proud that I stayed in the race the whole time.”

It was a long off season – with spring and summer events that got players and teams ready for the 2026 season.
Then, August arrived and it was time to kick things off as football programs throughout the state looked to realize their dreams and goals.
Twelve weeks of heated competition gook place – and when the dust had settled in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, several programs worked hard to be a part of the inaugural “Open Division” – which were to feature the eight “best” teams in the state, according to the computers at Max Preps.
Today, the Open Division will start with four schools from the Miami-Dade, Broward area along with several other teams in Classes 1A through 6A.
Here is a look at the first week of the state playoffs. Enjoy!
OPEN DIVISION
POOL A
ROUND 1
No. 5 Lakeland (5A, 9-1) at No. 1 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (5A, 10-0). A little throwback to the past two years when the nation’s No. 1 team dominated the Dreadnaughts in the state final – and while there are those who think that maybe it will be different this time around, and it may be, the Raiders come in as a favorite at home.
Both teams have enjoyed a competitive schedule – with a majority of Lakeland’s tougher games at home – while the Raiders did play No. 4 overall seed Chaminade-Madonna on the road.
LAKELAND
Lakeland Kathleen, W 47-0
Venice, L 32-25 (2 OT)
Kissimmee Osceola, W 40-6
Plantation American Heritage, W 21-16
Auburndale, W 49-14
Dover Specialty Fit Academy, W 58-0
Sebring, W 38-3
Bartow, W 40-7
Lakeland Lake Gibson, W 35-10
Orlando The First Academy, W 35-0
11/13 - @Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas
FORT LAUDERDALE ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
Davie Western, W 42-0
DeSoto, Texas, W 38-14
Miami Christopher Columbus, W 31-24
Fort Lauderdale Dillard, W 49-0
Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, W 40-7
Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna, W 21-20
Hollywood McArthur, W48-0
Coconut Creek Monarch, W 71-20
Pembroke Pines Flanagan, W 56-12
Pembroke Pines West Broward, W 49-8
11/13 - Lakeland
No. 8 Venice (6A, 9-1) at No. 4 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (2A, 8-2). As many look at this as a bad matchup for the Indians, having to travel south and face a team that has been to 10-straight 1A state title games.
The Lions are loaded on offense – having more firepower than just about any team of the eight left. They have also played a challenging schedule – home and away. But Venice is one of those programs that deserved to be in this position and are well coached. They may have had the toughest schedule – especially on the road, facing two of the eight teams in the Open Division.
VENICE
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, Georgia, W 42-40 (OT)
Miami SportsEn Academy, W 64-8
Lakeland, W 32-25 (2 OT)
Lehigh, W 69-0
Cape Coral, W 63-21
Sarasota, W 57-33
Jacksonville Raines, L 20-17
Bradenton Lakewood Ranch, W 49-14
Sarasota Riverview, W 41-32
North Port, W 62-8
11/13 - @Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna
HOLLYWOOD CHAMINADE-MADONNA
Coconut Creek Monarch, W 49-22
Sierra Canyon, California, L 24-7
Plantation American Heritage, W 46-27

West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman, W 20-7
Hollywood McArthur, W 47-12
Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, W 41-6
Coconut Creek, W 34-7
11/13 - Venice
POOL B
ROUND 1
No. 6 Miami Central (3A, 7-3) at No. 2 Miami Christopher Columbus (6A, 9-1). When these two programs met in the Greater Miami Athletic Conference title game, and despite the bad weather, the Explorers came out on top. Tis Columbus team has been impressive from the start – with the upset against then No. 1 Las Vegas Bishop Gorman that thrust them into the national spotlight during a three-hour stretch. They have been impressive all season.
The Rockets, while they made this eight-team event, may not have had the strongest program they have produced. Still, loaded with talent and well coached, they played a competitive schedule, including traveling to California and Georgia and impressed those who watched them. They understand that these three games will be challenging, but they feel that the “new” season will see different results. Time will tell!
MIAMI CENTRAL
Orange Lutheran, California, W 23-22
Miami St. Brendan, W 43-7
Buford, Georgia, L 18-7
Miami Jackson, W 54-18
Miami Northwestern, W 52-10

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 is back on Veteran’s Day 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:
With the start of the high school football state playoffs this week, Andre Fernandez looked at some of the teams that are favored – while he also checked out programs that could be a huge surprise.
ANDRE FERNANDEZ ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT: https://www.audacy.com/podcast/south-florida-high-school-sports-radio-5af98/episodes/high-school-football-analyst-andre-fernandez-739ca
After losing to Notre Dame in South Bend last Saturday night, the University of Miami will be back at it on Saturday afternoon in a clash with defending ACC champion Duke. Did the second half performance against the Fighting Irish help Miami find some things out? Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel dropped by to talk about it.

For the past four years, Nick Dyer has been a huge part of Cooper City High School. Whether it’s on the football field or in the classroom, this impressive student/athlete set standards for the Cowboys.

For the past two months, the talk surrounding high school football in the state of Florida was about the inaugural “Open Division”. Computer generated by Max Preps, choosing the best eight teams to play in this tournament that will produce a state champion may have left some quality team out of the mix and Jon Santucci from USA Today joined the show to look at the current teams and give his opinion on the opening round this week.

After four games to start the 2026 season, the Miami Christopher Columbus Explorers had a good idea how talented the Explorers would be. Playing back-to-back No. 1 nationally rated teams and two local teams, head coach Dave Dunn and his coaching staff had a feeling that if they stayed healthy, this program could end up playing in the inaugural “Open Division”. This Friday, as a No. 2 seed, they will be hosting Miami Central in the first round.

After losing several players from last year’s 1A state runner up and a few coaches, head coach Dameon Jones and the Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna Lions made a strong run at being one of the top teams in the state – and on Friday night, as part of the “Open Division”, they will host Venice in the first round as they are making a bid to get to the state title game for an amazing 11th consecutive time.

While the media are not calling for a record number of credentials or rankings are at stake, the 2026 post season for high school football teams is not just about who will end up at Pitbull Stadium (FIU) for the much-publicized state championships.
Several programs from the two counties will be in action on this Thursday, hoping to extend their season and give their players another game to get film and put themselves on the recruiting radar.
At a time when many are looking at the inaugural “Open Division” as well as the state titles in 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A, independent programs along with others who didn’t make the field for the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) state playoffs were interested enough in extending their season and competing against others for a title – even if the stakes are not as high.
Several programs will have the chance to continue playing this sport, and at a time when attaining a college scholarship or financial assistant is at a premium, this is a chance to be proactive in the competitive world of recruiting.
When the Independent League Pool A starts play today, there will be six teams that are hoping to move on and compete for another week.
Two of the top seeds will be in action this evening:
No. 8 Cape Coral Oasis (8-1) at No. 1 Fort Lauderdale (9-1), 5:30. Lockhart Stadium. The Flying Ls were looking to finish unbeaten, but a close loss to South Plantation gave them their only setback. Head Coach Richard Dunbar and his team have been one of the best this season.
CAPE CORAL OASIS SHARKS
Fort Myers Southwest Florida Christian Football, W 18-14
Naples Palmetto Ridge, W 28-27
Fort Myers Gateway Charter, W 75-0
Bonita Springs, W 49-7

South Plantation, L 9-7
Fort Lauderdale Stranahan, W 38-34
11/12 – Cape Coral Oasis
No. 7 Cape Coral Ida Baker (6-4) at No. 2 Cooper City (8-2). When it comes to developing talent, very few coaches have done what veteran Art Taylor has been able to accomplish for several decades.
When he returned to coach the Cowboys, he understood that it was going to be a tough assignment, but opting to get traction in this program by becoming independent has really worked out in a positive way – and as they head into this evening’s matchup, this is a team that is hungry for success.
