FORT LAUDERDALE – The common denominator for the Fort Lauderdale High football team through its first six games has been the play of senior quarterback Marquise Russ.
His strong play had the Flying L’s undefeated entering Thursday’s home game against Douglas.
With no alterations to his effectiveness to date, Russ shined again with three more touchdown passes and one rushing score for a 27-7 victory at Lockhart Stadium.
Not only did Fort Lauderdale improve to 7-0 on the season, but they have also won nine consecutive games dating back to last year.
“This is all a learning experience and all about growing and developing your roster,” said Fort Lauderdale coach Richard Dunbar. “We were slopy at time, but I’ll take the win.’
As for Russ, he’s thrown at least one touchdown each game this season and a minimum of three scoring passes five times.
“Marquise has always been great for us,” said Dunbar. “I love his poise and love the way he has shown a maturity over the last nine months here.”
Russ had 10 completions for 227 yards. He had a pair scoring passes to junior wide receiver Antwan Jackson for 50 and 24 yards. The other scoring toss was 33 yards to Isaiah Mabson that gave the Flying L’s a 14-7 lead with 4:39 left in the second quarter.
“There were many ups and downs in the game, but we were able to stay poised,” said Russ. “I was able to overcome some things, but we found a way to win.”
Russ added his second rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard sneak with 5:03 left in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles (1-6) lone score came with 5:26 left in the second quarter when junior quarterback Sampsen Orlinsky threw a 59-yard scoring pass to Anthony Diaz tying the game 7-7.
Fort Lauderdale will host Coral Springs on Friday, Oct. 16, where they hope to improve to 8-0. Douglas will play Forest Hill at home on Thursday.

While many schools are focused on the inaugural “Open Division” that will shine a spotlight the best eight teams in the state, there are several other teams who are just worrying about getting into the playoffs.
As we completed the eighth week of the 2026 season here in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, several programs came up with wins that will give them a chance to play in the post-season:
American Heritage (Plantation) 27, Norland (Miami) 2. While the two-time defending state champions still have a slight chance, with their competitive schedule, to make it into the Open Division, if not they will be a No. 1 seed in their region and will have the chance the “Three-Peat”.
Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood) 20, Cardinal Newman (West Palm Beach) 7. With the win on the road, the Lions avenged last year’s 1A state title and certainly put themselves in a position to be one of the elite eight teams come playoff time.
Fort Lauderdale 27, Stoneman Douglas (Parkland) 7. While they are playing as an independent team this year, the Flying Ls remained ubeaten, bringing plenty of recruiting attention to the players.
Piper (Sunrise) 54, Boyd Anderson (Lauderdale Lakes) 13. The Bengals continue to play competitive football and are very much in the post-season conversation. The next two weeks will also tell the story.
Western (Davie) 48, Doral Academy 14. The Wildcats also stayed right in the post season conversation with a big district road win. This a program that could easily make plenty of noise in the coming weeks.
As those programs did their thing, there were other games as well:

Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (4-2, 1-0) at West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman (5-1, 0-0). When they squared off for the 1A state title on December 11th of last year, there was a feeling that the game between state and national powerhouse Chaminade-Madonna and Cardinal Newman would be a formality.
If past results was to be an indication, the Lions had never had a problem with the Crusaders as they were making their 10th consecutive trip to the state title game.
When the game had ended at Pitbull Stadium on the campus of Florida International University, it was Cardinal Newman that would parade around the field with trophy in hand and a stunning 17-14 win.
The victory changed the way everyone felt about head coach Jack Daniels and his football program. This program that was starting to make some noise finally got over the hump by stunning head coach Dameon Jones and his team.
In the months after that win, both teams were elevated to 2A, and along with several other programs were considered to be among a group that would make an impact this year – and they both have.
Add to this matchup was the fact that both programs were added to the same district, and October 9th in West Palm Beach was quickly circled by both schools and football fans across the state.
Tonight (6:30), a sellout crowd will watch these two schools meet once again with just about everything at stake.
While a loss for either team could be a blow to their hopes of appearing in the inaugural “Open Division” – with the “top” eight teams in the state battling for supremacy – you never know as both have played a competitive schedule.
The Crusaders come in after winning the past two games against Jensen Beach and Delray Beach Atlantic.
They have scored 186 points and have given up 105.
The Lions head into the game after a tough 21-20 loss at home against the No. 1 team in the country, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.
They have scores 212 points this season – while yielding 127.
No matter what the outcome, you have two programs that have shown that they are among the best in Florida – and while the season is far from over – this is a key contest for many reasons!
