We are now in the final week of the regular season, and while many have their favorites to win a state football championship, which schools are the favorites in 1M, 2M, 3M and 4M?

When NSU University School and Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy met a few weeks back as undefeated teams, it wasn’t for the Florida High School Athletic seeding in the state playoffs. The outcome of the contest meant much more to both schools.
What these two schools were playing for was a chance to win a state title in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference, which is an independent group of teams throughout Florida that awards programs for their play throughout the season.
That 42-7 win by the Sharks over the Lions gave the 8-0 program a chance for positive exposure – and an opportunity to play for a state title.
That race for a title begins tonight as both University School and Westminster Academy will start the season anew with first round SSAC games.
Westminster beat their opening rough opponent earlier this year, 34-10.

If you have followed us for any length of time, you already know that when it comes to promoting and exposing ALL athletes at every level, very few can come close.
Our objective has always been about giving Miami-Dade and Broward County football prospects a forum where college coaches and recruiting services check out or lists and evaluations 12 months a year.
With the 2023 season winding down, there have been a number of younger football players that have been turning heads with their play.
While some have already jumped on the radar screen, there are others who have simply flown beneath the radar.
Today, we bring you five football players to keep an eye on:
2027 – Jayden Dean, OL, 6-2, 255, Miami Norland. In a region that very rarely produces elite offensive linemen, here is a freshman who has already shown that he is well on his way to becoming a top-flight “big man” over the next four years. His size, tremendous technique and maturity has given him some well-deserved exposure. Watch him emerge as a national talent over the next two seasons as he will attend exposure events that will provide him an opportunity to gain valuable exposure.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18274620/Jayden-Dean
2026 – Robert Kerns, QB, 6-0, 185, SW Ranches Archbishop McCarthy. In a season where this program has turned it all around, this is versatile athletes who has flown way beneath the radar. A quality leader on offense, who has shown some impressive qualities beyond his years. Being able to play several positions will open some doors over the next three years. Look for his recruiting to pick up dramatically in the off-season as he has the chance to show what he brings to the table. Not a household name yet, but stand by.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18100152/Robert-Kerns
2026 – Jason Lopez, Athlete, 5-11, 170, Miami True North Classical Academy. No matter where you put this quality talent, he steps up and turns heads. Already on the major college radar as a receiver and defensive back, his best years are definitely ahead. This is one of those rare prospects that college coaches have been raving about for the past two years on a team that has also opened a lot of eyes. If you think he’s a difference maker on the football field, his skill level as a basketball player are equally as impressive and head-turning. There is little doubt that this may be one of the best athletes in the state!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15232409/Jasen-Lopez
2026 – Louisdens Paul, LB, 5-10, 180, Miami Springs. While many who recruit and evaluate prospects choose to sit in front of a computer and watch film that anyone has access to, they continue to miss out on a talent like this. One of the fast-emerging linebackers in the state, his over 100 tackles for the Golden Hawks showed what he can do on the defensive side of the ball. Turned into quite a leader this season, and with the ability to play several positions, here is a gifted young man who will climb the ladder fast. Again, if you are a “computer recruiter” you will never find someone like this. He brings more to the table than what you watch on film.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17996023/Louisdens-Paul
2025 - Jabori Walton, CB, 6-0, 176, Miramar Everglades. Another of the hidden gems who makes plays and brings with him plenty of athleticism and skill. Has turned into a prospect that colleges are watching – bringing quickness and instinct to the table for the surprising Gators in 2023. Did we mention that he happens to be the younger brother of the great Duke Johnson, who is the University of Miami’s all-time leading rusher!

Lakeland, Miami Booker T. Washington, Miami Central and Miami Christopher Columbus. Four programs that are among the top 25 in the state of Florida. Four schools that have been beaten by Miami Norland.
When the unbeaten (8-0) Vikings beat Christopher Columbus, 16-3, last Friday night at Traz Powell Stadium, they captured the 2023 Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) title.
With head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers finishing in second place for the second straight years, the Vikings and veteran head coach Daryle Heidelberg moved one step closer to an unbeaten regular season.
Big plays and solid defense guided Norland throughout the night.
Davie Western 14, Miramar 6. The Wildcats have started to make some noise and they are quickly getting the attention of the 4M program across the state as well as south Florida. Winning the district championship two weeks ago, they took care of business against the Patriots.
Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas 35, Coconut Creek Monarch 19. Coming into the game, the Knights felt they had a chance to stay right with the four-time defending state champions, but the Raiders put their foot on the gas and sent a message that they are ready for a fifth straight title run.
Miami Booker T. Washington 13, Miami Edison 0 - Miami Booker T. Washington 24, Homestead South Dade 7. One of the teams that you better watch for in 2M are the Tornadoes and head coach Tim “Ice” Harris. They have battled everyone involved and figures to play Central in the second round of the state round of the state playoffs. They are getting healthy at the right time.
