Here’s some of the top highlights from across South Florida this week.
The second round of the FHSAA High School Football Playoffs proved much different from an opening round full of blowouts - and several of the top teams in South Florida won't be making it to the regional final round.
In Class 2A, Miami Central - the top seed in Region 4 and the top ranked team in the state of Florida - was down 21-7 to Miami Northwestern before tying the game at 21 at the half. The Rockets' Nicolas McCall scored with less than nine minutes left to pull out a 34-30 victory and advance to next week's regional final against Miami Norland.
In Class 4M, No. 1 seed in Region 4 Miami Columbus showed its dominance once again with another shutout as the Explorers beat No. 4 seed Miami Palmetto 28-0. They will advance to play No. 3 seed Doral Academy, who got a 32-21 upset win over No. 2 seed Western on the road.
In Class 3A, it was an easy night for both St. Thomas Aquinas and Homestead as the Raiders - the top seed in Region 3 - got a 63-14 win over Delray Beach Atlantic while the top seed in Region 4 Broncos got a 35-12 win over Dr. Krop.
