Two-Minute Drill: High school football games, plus Dolphins, Jaguars and Bucs
High school football’s one week of preseason games are here, then the regular season kicks off the following week. Plus the Bucs face the Jaguars.
It’s a new football season, but it’s a lot of familiar names at the top of the USA Today Florida Network’s Super 25.
National power IMG Academy beings the year at No. 1 in the state. The Ascenders once again have a roster loaded with Power 4 talent and should get a big boost from summer transfers such as four-star quarterback Ty Hawkins and four-star offensive lineman Michael Carroll.
Chaminade-Madonna, which won its third consecutive state championship in 2023, is No. 2. St. Thomas Aquinas, which is aiming for a sixth consecutive state title, is No. 3. Cocoa, which won back-to-back Class 2S state titles, and Plantation-American Heritage round out the top five.
The opening weekend of games features several top matchups with national implications. IMG travels to Utah to face nationally ranked Corner Canyon. St. Thomas Aquinas hosts defending national champion Bishop Gorman (Nevada), Chaminade-Madonna takes on St. John Bosco (California) and Milton (Georgia) plays at American Heritage.
