For much of the past five decades, we have catered to college coaches and football fans by offering up a weekly scoreboard.
This is a service we have long provided – contacting coaching and athletic directors to bring you the most accurate scoreboard possible.
Because we understand that there is a need to follow teams and players to see how they are doing, we continue to give you scores – in alphabetical order so they are easier to follow.
Remember, we continue to be a source for football prospects and teams YEAR-ROUND – unlike other places who take months away from their total coverage.
If you have scores that we may not list – or changes – please contact us via e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Our objective is to get the scores right – and not necessarily first!

When play begins in Week 3 of the Florida high schools football season, there will be three Miami-Dade and Broward Schools who looking to do something they haven’t accomplished in quite some time.
For Hialeah American, Cooper City and Miami Westminster Christian, getting off to a perfect 3-0 starts is something that all three programs need as they all are building something that will last.
Veteran head coach Tim Neal has his alma mater in a position to build the Patriots into a contender – while veteran coach Art Taylor and Cooper City have been developing some prospects that include four-year starting quarterback Nick Dyer.
At Westminster Christian, the Warriors believe that first-year head coach Josh Kirkland’s collegiate experience will translate into something positive at a program that has won in the past.
Several south Florida schools have gone the independent route to bring more interest to their programs and create a winning environment. We have watched it work with other programs who have been able to win and attract more student/athletes.
Hialeah American (2-0) vs. North Miami (0-2), Milander, 7. The Pioneers have gotten off to a slow start – and while they play a challenging schedule – a win this week would be huge for the program.

The popular and nationally-rated South Florida High School Sports radio show with Larry Blustein on 104.3 FM WQAM moved to Wednesday night this week for an hour, leading into the Miami Marlins and Kansas City Royals game.
Each week, the program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.
The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.
The program, which has been run for nearly two decades and has been rated as one of the top programs of its kind has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on high sports and the newsmakers.
Here is a look at the way Wednesday night went:
This Friday night, the University of Miami will open the 2026 college football season when they take on Stanford in an Atlantic Coast Conference contest. Alex Donno, who will appear on the Pre-Game Show for the Hurricanes and can be watched daily on the Locked On Canes podcast talked about the game and the season ahead.

We are just two weeks into the 2026 high school football season and we are already seeing the underclassmen starting to make a lasting impression.
If you’ve followed football in this region for any length of time, you already know that it doesn’t matter what class you represent, there are always going to be prospects that will step forward and jump into the spotlight.
As the senior (2027) class is certainly on the clock, there is plenty of attention being paid to the juniors (2028) who started to turn heads in the long off season and have continued to make an impact for the first few weeks of the season.
Today, we will shine a spotlight on five talented Class of 2028 juniors – some that you’ve already heard about – while others are jumping into the spotlight for the first time.
Kellan Alexander, LB, 6’3, 200, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. Talk about an immediate impact, this is someone who has dominated in his first two games of the season – against Coconut Creek Monarch and against in the Broward National Showcase against California power Sierra Canyon. Watch him play and you will see a quick, athletic and skilled playmaker who is always around the ball – and ready to make an impact on the defensive side of the ball. If he continues to play the way he has all season, college attention will become greater and at a high level.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/23562398/Kellan-Alexander
Tony "Dook" Brown III, WR, 5’10, 175. While elite senior A’mir Sears is getting much of the attention during the first two games of the season, and for good reason, here is someone who definitely benefit from all the attention one of the nation’s top players is receiving. What this quality talent brings to the team is an elusive pass catcher who has speed, athletic ability and a knock of getting open. Coming from Clermont East Ridge High School outside of Orlando, this gifted prospect has already shown that he is ready to compete and also make a difference for an Explorer squad that pulled that ultimate surprise last Saturday against then No. 1 national power Las Vegas Bishop Gorman in the Broward County National Showcase. Keep your eye on this talent all season!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/25762057/Tony-Dook-Brown-III
Darrell Godfrey, RB, 6’1, 210, Miami Immaculata LaSalle – 3.0 GPA. Track & Field. It has come to a point that almost every year, this program has some elite underclassmen, and watching this quick and athletic standout, history is repeating itself. Watch him play and you will see a talented football player who doesn’t just run the ball from scrimmages, but get him in space and use his speed and size and this is a versatile talent that is starting to receive the attention that he deserves. Whether it’s as a runner or receiver on passing downs, this is someone who will not go down on the first contact, which is something that college coaches love.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/23472306/Darrell-Godfrey
Jeremiah Milcent, QB, 5’11, 160, Coconut Creek Monarch – 3.8 GPA. Before the season began, coaches and players warned that the Knights had something special on the offensive side of the ball that very few people knew about. So far, they were right. What this impressive prospect has done in the first few weeks of the season is direct the attention to Broward County – and while there are plenty of junior quarterbacks in the state – he has already shown, against Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna and Miramar – two solid defensive teams – that he will be a force this season. Throwing for well over 700 yards in the first two regular season games, this accurate talent is someone that will start to attract attention. As he continues to grow and mature, colleges will watch closely and continue to monitor everything he does.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26051222/683f06655a2ea131f999f270
Steven Moore, LB, 6’0, 215, Miami Central – 3.2 GPA. Here is a gifted athlete who has waited his turn over the past two years to get the chance to do what he does best – make plays. This physical standout with tremendous bloodlines has not only established himself as one of the best local prospects but also is considered by many who have watched him perform live as one of the elite players in the state. Was also a state-rated wrestler who has been performing at a high level for several years. Will continue to emerge as one of the rising stars in the region during the 2026 season.

If there was ever a time where the entire country was checking out what was happening in the state of Florida, this past week was indeed that week.
With the Broward County National High School Football Showcase dominating the news – along with some other quality matchups – the Sunshine State was certainly being viewed in ever corner of the country.
With programs from California, Colorado, Texas, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Nevada, Alabama and Georgia all competing against the Sunshine State, this was a time when those who follow recruiting were at home with all the talent that was in action.
All those key matchups – along with the ones that featured state programs competing against each other made for some great football, and of course, shook up the rankings once again.
Once again, we respect those who rank the teams in this state, but we have a HUGE advantage of being able to watch these programs live at camps, combines, 7-on-7 events, spring games and numerous practices.
We also mention as many programs as we can each week to give every team the respect that they deserve.
