Back when the 2022 season came to an end, there were many football programs that pointed toward the 2023 season as a time when things would turn around.
Here we are one year later, and while some of those programs improved and will advance to the state playoffs next year, there are several who will be sitting home during the post season once again during the playoffs.
When play ends on Friday night, several Miami-Dade and Broward County football teams will make plans for next week – while others will put the uniforms, pads and helmets away until spring.
