For the second time this season Mother Nature has impacted the state of Florida.
With heavy rains and sheer size (400 miles wide), Hurricane Nicole pounded the entire state of Florida, closing businesses and sending residents scrambling for shelter.
Once again, among those casualties was the high school football season – as power outages and flooding did the best to hamper the opening weekend of the state football playoffs.
With a number of schools already moved to Saturday – and the Class 1M not starting to November 17 – south Florida caught a little break, but still, several games were moved.
As the Race For Tallahassee’s Gene Cox Stadium and Fort Lauderdale’s DRV PNK Stadium – the two sites for the state title games - is set to begin, we get started tonight (7:00) with a Region 4-2M contest with No. 7 Miami Carol City (5-5) visiting Traz Powell Stadium for a matchup with No. 2 seed Miami Booker T. Washington (8-2).
The Tornadoes won the only meeting between the two teams, 26-6.
