Before the season began if you asked any football fan which teams would have a chance to reach the state title game, many of the usual programs would be part of the conversation.
One of those teams that many felt had perhaps the best chance they ever had of perhaps playing for a state title was Davie Western.
The Wildcats and veteran head coach Adam Ratkevich had the talent, coaching and were among the top 7A teams in south Florida.
After losing to Hoover, Alabama in the Broward National Showcase, the Wildcats would then drop three of the next four.
But October arrived and this team started to play like everyone thought they would, winning four straight.
But just as the sun started to shine, dark clouds surfaced and the thought of a district title and a strong run in the playoffs were dashed when using ineligible players cost this team a district championship, and two wins they worked hard to achieve.
Instead of being a top four seed, No. 20 Western now falls to the eight seed for the upcoming state playoffs and perhaps a trip to Miami to take on No. 1 seed and two-time defending state champion Miami Chistopher Columbus – instead of that much-anticipated second or third round game.
This evening, the Wildcats are on the road for a non-district contest with 15-6A district champions in No. 10 Pembroke Pines West Broward (7-2) and head coach Brian McCartney, who have reeled off six straight wins.
The 7:00 contest at Miramar Everglades High is indeed one of the premier contests in south Florida in the next to last week of the regular season. A win will send this team into the playoffs with some momentum as they accept the sanctions and move on.

While many have called tonight’s (7:00) Plantation and South Plantation game a rivalry at PAL Field in Plantation, the 15-5 advantage that the Colonels (5-3) hold over the Paladins (4-5) in the past 20 meetings and a 10-game winning streak says otherwise.
This annual “Mayor’s Cup” game has watched Plantation dominate, and as they are headed toward the 4A playoffs, this is a game that is indeed very important to get a win.
Placed in a district with state-rated Miami Norland and Plantation American Heritage, first year head coach Darrell Strong has put together a solid year with a mix of veteran and youth players.
For the Paladins, it has been a much different story with Ronald Jackson taking over the team late in the off-season.
While they have won four times, two of the losses came in district play against Hollywood South Broward and Davie Nova.

There was a time when you played Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson, you knew that the Cobras were going to give you four solid quarters.
Over the past decade, this once dominating football program has not been a force among south Florida programs. But that is changing.
Enter Kevin Claxton. A one-time all-state performer for the Cobras, he came back home to get this team back to where they were before he left to play and eventually coach at the University of Wisconsin.
What has happened this season may not be big news for some. But for the players, coaches, fans and administrators the 4-6 record was good enough for a second-place finish and a spot in the post season, which begins in two weeks.
The hard work put in has added up, turning around a 1-9 season.
Among the prospects who have helped point the Cobras in a positive direction include:
2026 - Deshawn Blair, who had a three Interception and a three touchdown game (2 pick 6’s) with over 220 yards in interception return yardage.
2027 - Tylin Brown is a playmaking linebacker/running back that will certainly make huge strides in the off season.
2027 - Demarcus Deroche is a big and fast athlete who has the potential to be a top 10 recruit. He is a three-sport athlete that will blow up this spring. He came over from Key West and is a two-way starter.
2027 - Devon Germielle has been the Cobras’ top pass rusher, coming up with 11 quarterback sacks, two interceptions and always around the ball.
2026 – A versatile (3 position) line prospect, the 6-foot-7 Dametrius Hixson is already getting P4 attention.
2027 – If you are looking for a versatile (LB/Hybrid Safety), Jeth McKinnis is going to be that type of a player. He is long and athletic.
2028 – Another freshman, Wendel Ostral could be one of the next top defensive backs in south Florida – with speed and athleticism. In middle school, he had one of the fastest times in the 100 meters.
2026 – One of the leaders this past season, quarterback Arron Power finished the year with 1,500 yards in his initial varsity year as a starter.
2027 - Semajay Robinson is a long ball hawking cornerback. He has five interceptions, two sacks and a “Pick 6” in his first full year at the varsity level. He moved down from Tallahassee this past summer and will be the next top secondary performer.
2028 – If the future is going to be bright for this program, prospects like Elijah Stitt will play a huge role. A unique athlete who can line up at multiple positions.

Well, we officially have two weeks before the start of the 2024 high school football playoffs and several Miami-Dade and Broward Schools are tuning for a run at Pit Bull Stadium on the campus of Florida International University in December.
As many schools have realized a dream that they had after the end of the 2023 season, others will pretty much put the gear away until next spring in late April.

When Plantation American Heritage and head coach Mike Smith knocked off national power Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, 42-38, there were those who left the game on Friday evening with a sense that maybe the 305 and 954 had lost its luster as an area that featured some of the best programs in the country. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What has happened this season is all those quality programs that have been recognized as elite teams with amazing talent are playing each other, and that only enhances what everyone has been talking about for decades.
As other areas of the nation are boasting about one team or another, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have always churned out talent that not only advances to college, but also plays on Sundays as every NFL fan can see.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Chaminade-Madonna, American Heritage, Miami Northwestern, Miami Norland and Miami Central have all put an end to the talk about not playing a competitive schedule. Add in the Broward County National Showcase and no area – Texas, Georgia, California and Louisiana include – plays such a gauntlet every week.
With many teams across the nation boasting how great their programs are, it has often been said that if they had to play the schedule that south Florida teams must endure each and every week, they may not be as great as everyone believes.
American Heritage and Chaminade-Madonna have easily played one of the most challenging schedules in the country.
PATRIOTS BEAT THE RAIDERS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
To show the dominance of head coach Roger Harriott and his football team, when the Raiders lost to American Heritage, it was the first time in school history that it happened.
Big plays by FSU running back commit Byron Louis (three rushing scores), Texas junior quarterback commit Dia Bell and nationally rated athlete Malachi Toney certainly kept the 5-4 Patriots in the game from start to finish.
Lost in the win was the way that St. Thomas Aquinas senior quarterback Andrew Indorf and sophomore receiver Julius Jones Jr. stepped up to keep the team in the game to the final drive.
