Nobody has to tell Miami Palmetto head football coach Mike Manasco about his first-round opponent, Davie Western.

He already knows that the Wildcats are far from being a No. 7 seed in the 4-7A region.

If you follow high school football, you already know that while head coach Adam Ratkevich and his team come into tonight’s (7:30) game at Tropical Park with a 4-6 record, the reality is this team comes in on a five game “on the field” winning streak.

Because of using ineligible players, the Wildcats were not only forced to lose two wins, but also a district title, which probably would have had them at the top of the region. They come in as a No. 7 seed.

But if you think the 6-4 Panthers are taking this team for granted, you certainly do not know Manasco and his football team.

Like the Wildcats, Palmetto, a No. 2 seed, has also faced a challenging schedule and has the talent to lineup against anyone.

With many games going on across the state of Florida in Week 1 of the state playoffs, this was certainly a game that you would have never picked as a first-round matchup.

All season long, many have ignored Miami Christopher Columbus as a true threat to win a third straight state title.

Over the past two seasons, head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers have brought the large school trophy back to Miami-Dade County. But after several key losses on both sides of the ball and not-so-Columbus performance in the spring game and doubt spread throughout the state.

When this team kicks things off as a No. 1 seed in Region 4-7A tonight (7:00) against Boca Raton Spanish River, the expectations will be the same as they are every year – win it all!

While they have three losses on the season, only one game (St. Thomas Aquinas) got out of hand. They battled nationally known Our Lady of Good Counsel, Maryland down to the wire before losing, 14-10. In the Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) Week contest against Miami Northwestern, they were in the game for all four quarters against the Bulls, losing just 23-18.

In Spanish River, they have a 7-3 opponent under Coach Ian Headley, who has done a tremendous job with the Sharks. But this game with Columbus (6-3) is a huge step up and will be by far the toughest contest of the year.

The winner of this contest will play next Friday against either No. 5 Homestead South Dade (5-5) or No. 4 Lantana Santaluces (8-2).

CAN FERGUSON DEFEND ITS GMAC INDEPENDENT CHAMPIONSHIP?
After winning 10 of 11 games and capturing their first ever Greater Miami Athletic Conference Independent championship a year ago, veteran head coach Gene Chew and his Miami Ferguson Falcons (6-5) are back in the title game – this time as an underdog.

Ferguson will square off with 8-1 Miami Coral Reef and head coach Tim Wood tonight (7:00) at Miami Southridge High School.

The Barracudas beat Ferguson a few weeks ago by one point, so this should be an exciting matchup

It may be the end of the 2024 high school football season – with the state playoffs getting under way this week – but there are some quality prospects who made an impact this year.

While we continue to put several Miami-Dade and Broward prospects on the map each week, the off-season is not a time when we stop. In fact, the nine months between the end of one season and the start of another are the time that we promote the prospects the most.

As the senior class (2025) continues to search for a college to head toward in the coming months, there are plenty of gifted players who had a productive year without a lot of fanfare.
