With Pitbull Stadium (FIU) once again the destination for the state 1A-7A football playoffs, several Miami-Dade and Broward County teams opened the first round with victories this past week.
With defending state champions Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (1A), Miami Northwestern (3A), Plantation American Heritage (4A) and Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (5A) all winning in the opening round, things will start to get very interesting coming up with Thursday and Friday when the stake become much higher.
Several teams who were thought to be in contention for a state championship appearance also stayed alive with key first round wins.
The Lions and head coach Dameon Jones are looking for an amazing 10th straight trip to the state finals.
In 3A, the Miami Northwestern Bulls go after their second straight state title after Teddy Bridgewater guided them there last season. Can first year head coach Jaquatin Victrum help this team repeat?
After making a championship run in 2024, head coach Mike Smith and Plantation American Heritage will look to defend their 4A state title – despite finishing 4-5 in the regular season but playing one of the toughest schedules in the state.
When Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas opened play last week in the 5A playoffs, veteran head coach Roger Harriott and his Raiders are looking for a mind-boggling seventh straight state title.

As Thursday kicked off the 2025 state playoffs in Florida, today will also uncover some impressive first round contests.
While football fans are looking forward to the next few weeks when games will get much more interesting, there are also some first round games that many will be attending.
Today, we shine the spotlight on three more games that could be very interesting and could easily go either way:
REGION 4-2A
No. 3. Miami Killian (7-3) vs. No. 6. Miami Carol City (6-4), 7:30, Betty Ferguson.
This is one of those matchups with two programs trying to reclaim their successful history.
Coach Rudy Trevino and his Cougars have been playing competitive football down the stretch, and head coach George Stubbs and the Chiefs are looking to play on a district championship. It should be very entertaining.

Here we go.
The 2025 state playoffs will get under way right here in south Florida tonight.
Six teams will get things started in three classes – with defending 3A state champion Miami Northwestern grabbing the spotlight.
The undefeated Bulls and first year head coach Jaquatin Victrum will kick things off as they look to get back and defend their title. They dominated last year and believe they can do the same thing.
They will host Northwestern graduate Derrick “Nitro” Baker and his team.
The Miami Palmetto Panthers and head coach Mike Manasco also starts the state playoffs as a No. 1 seed in 7A – which is something they haven’t been able to do in the past – with Miami Christopher Columbus standing in the way.
They will host veteran head coach Rocco Casullo and his much-improved team.
The other program starting things out as a No. 1 seed are head coach Helder Valle and the Royal Lions of Miami Immaculata LaSalle, who are unbeaten and are the favorites in a competitive region in 2A.
They will be hosting head coach/athletic director Rodney Smith and his talented program.

Moments after their 14-7 win last November against Miami Ferguson, veteran football coach Tim Wood and his Miami Coral Reef Barracudas looked ahead to 2025.
The victory in the Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) Independent championship was indeed a great way to cap a 9-1 season.
What that win did was shine a spotlight on this program and gave them something to build on as they looked toward 2025.
When they take on Hialeah Gardens and veteran (37 years) head coach Greg Magner this evening (7:00) at Tropical Park, this program, which has posted an 8-2 record, will look to repeat and set the tone for the off-season.
While the Barracudas have won 17 of the past 19 games, the Gladiators also come in on a roll – and despite being 4-6, they have been able to put together three straight wins. They have also played four teams who are in the FHSAA state playoffs this week.
