The high school football experts believe they have it all figured out.
They all know who will be at Pitbull Stadium on the campus of Florida International University next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
So, while everyone knows the outcome, why even play tonight’s state semifinal games.
While Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna and head coach Dameon Jones look to head to the state finals for a record ninth consecutive time, and are favored to do just that, five-time defending state champion Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas and head coach Roger Harriott, and two-time defending state champion Miami Christopher Columbus and head coach Dave Dunn are being doubted.
We will come back to what Chaminade-Madonna has done but let us look at St. Thomas Aquinas for a second.
This is a program that is the most successful in the history of high school football in Florida. They have carried the championship flag in the state and recognized them nationally for nearly five decades.
While they are on the road at Manatee and may be underdogs by some who follow the game, check out the losses they have had this year – all against top-flight teams.
For them to run this crazy streak to six consecutive, they will have to play mistake-free football tonight and if they advance do the same next week.
While we are talking about programs who are underdogs on the road, check out the Explorers of Miami Christopher.
This team has won two straight state titles and have been in the mix nearly every season since Dunn returned to the school in 2018.
They know that Venice is one of the best programs in the country and understand that they will have to turn it up several volumes, but they have been underdogs before and realize what lies ahead.
Now, getting back to Chaminade-Madonna. We all know that the season started off with a loss to national power Bellflower St. John Bosco of California and a huge upset to Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, but since then they have taken care of business against eight playoff teams and are heavy favorites tonight and next Wednesday in the 1A state title game against either West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman or Clearwater Central Catholic.
1A
No. 4 Jacksonville Trinity Christian Academy (10-3) at No. 1 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (11-2). These are two schools that know each other very well – and with 33-year veteran head coach Verlon Dorminey (296-77) at the helm, this is one program that Chaminade-Madonna has had some problems with over the years. They head south with a seven-game winning streak. The winner will play next Wednesday night (7:30) at Pitbull Stadium in Miami against Clearwater Central Catholic, who beat West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman in the state semifinal, 22-21 (OT).

No. 4 Miami Booker T. Washington (10-2) at No. 1 Havana Gadsden County (12-1). Riding a seven-game winning streak, veteran head coach Tim “Ice” Harris and his football team must travel 500 miles to face one of the hottest teams in Florida. The job that head coach Russell Ellington and his staff have done is impressive as they come in on a nine-game winning streak, losing only to Georgia state champion Coffee County.

No. 3 Miami Northwestern (10-2) at No. 2 Melbourne Eau Gallie (12-1). The Bulls head on the road for the first time in the state playoffs to play head coach Chris Sands and a program that has been impressive down the stretch. But on the other side of the field this week will be first year head coach Teddy Bridgewater and his team that has more than met the challenge – with losses coming in overtime to state power Venice and 2023 state runner up Norland. This will be by far the biggest test and the most speed Eau Gallie has faced this year.

No. 4 St. Augustine (11-1) at No. 1 Plantation American Heritage (10-2). Last year’s state runner up in 3S heads south for the first time riding a eight-game winning streak and loaded with talent under head coach Brian Braddock, who has guided them to a 24-2 record over the past two seasons. The Patriots are also red-hot themselves, winning nine consecutive games playing perhaps the most challenging schedules in the state that featured nine playoff teams and two nationally rated programs under head coach Mike Smith.

No. 4 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (10-3) at No. 1 Bradenton Manatee (10-1). There’s no getting around the fact that head coach Jacquez Green and his staff have restored this program to a point where they can lineup against anyone and more than hold their own. Green has been able to compile a 65-17 record. The Hurricanes know all about the Raiders, and realize that while they have lost three games, they still are loaded with talent and great coaching.

No. 4 Miami Southridge (11-2) at No. 1 West Boca Raton (13-0). This is indeed one of the interesting matchups between two programs who have truly stepped up this season. For head coach Pierre Senatus and his football program this is just the beginning of returning the Spartans back to where they were for so many years. They are loaded with talent and have played a competitive schedule, but they know they have their hands full. Former Miami Belen Jesuit assistant Dylan Potts arrived last year and has put this program on the map by attending everything year-round and adding a quality roster, including a stingy defense that has yielded just 105 points. This is the furthest a football team has ever advanced in school history.

No. 4 Miami Christopher Columbus (9-3) at No. 1 Venice (12-1). By now we all know the gaudy numbers that veteran head coach John Peacock and his football program have put up this season, scoring 663 points in 13 games. We have watched them rip through a schedule that has included quality opponents, even coming within four points of nationally rated Bradenton IMG Academy. They are two-time defending state runner ups that are hungry to win that elusive title. They are home and will have their usual huge crowd. With that said, they still must play the game to advance to Miami next week!

There is no getting around the job that Sunrise Piper head football coach Quentin Short and his coaching staff did this past season.
Not only were the Bengals the talk of south Florida, but many across the country were talking about a team that jumped out to an 8-0 start before losing.
Winning a district title and beating Doral Academy in the state playoff opener, this was a team that truly made a major impact.
While the season would end in the second round, this program certainly established itself as a team to keep an eye on as the building process rolls on.
While this team did so well, there are a number of current seniors (Class of 2025) still looking to head to college and continue their football careers.
Also, there are some future prospects that you will want to keep an eye on as well.
Here are those seniors, juniors and sophomores that certainly need to be checked out:

When Miami Coral Reef beat Miami Ferguson, 14-7, back on Nov. 11, the Barracudas captured the GMAC Independent League football title.
With the 9-1 finish and the title, which had been won the year before by Ferguson, this program had an opportunity to grab some of that spotlight.
With veteran head coach Tim Wood leading the way, this is a team that has continued to grow and compete over the past few years, building toward this team title.
Along the way this season, the team lost just one time (Miami High), but rebounded to outscore the other nine opponents, 267-77, and in the process created some memories for this team and school to look back on.
With success came the attention that prospects needed for college coaches to check out.
SOLID SENIOR (2025) CLASS EMERGES
While this was a total team effort, the seniors were responsible for stepping up in 2024 – with several players leading the way on and off of the playing field.
Here is a look at some of those seniors:
Antonio Siplin
OLB
6’1” 190
WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT ANTONIO: Great instincts; incredibly smart; really knows how to play the game; very good student. HBCU/D2 player.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17649306/Antonio-Siplin
Ethan Gottardi
ILB
6’0” 210
WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT ETHAN:
Has shown all year that he is a well-rounded prospect with plenty of skills. Easily one of the hardest workers on a talented team. He also gets it done in the classroom extremely hard worker who could make an impact at the D3 level.
TAPE:
https://www.hudl.com/profile/19973820/Ethan-Gottardi?
Joshua Steele
DT
6’1” 275
WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT JOSHUA:
Here is a player who is a prototype lineman with who is a worker. He is very quick and agile for a big man. Does well in the classroom.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19973367/Joshua-Steele?
CLASS OF 2026
Richel Gercilus
OT
6’3” 235
WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT RICHEL: One of the most promising players this team had this past season. With a full year left to grow and mature on and off the field, he has a very high ceiling. Has an opportunity to perhaps become an FCS prospect.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22501995/674e5522352362e4628db507
Roger Rodriguez
WR
5’9” 160

While so much attention in south Florida – when it comes to athletics – is directly on the high schools, and for good reason. But the area high school programs would never be where they are without the benefit of a strong middle school feeder program.
In Miami-Dade County, the success of so many sports can be traced back to middle school, and today we shine a spotlight on the many boys and girls who are wrapping up the fall schedule.
As many coaches put in long hours to help develop the student/athletes and get them ready to compete at the next level, they are making a huge impact.
SOCCER FINISHES UP EXCITING SEASON
For the third straight year, the girls’ team at George Washington Carver Middle School came out on top with several players stepping up.
It was also a tremendous season for Hialeah Gardens Middle School, who finished second.
SOUTH DADE MIDDLE SWEEPS CROSS COUNTRY
It was an outstanding season for South Dade Middle School boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams as both ended with titles.
