I know I am running late, but it's been one of those years. Besides, my grandson plays in his first college game this Saturday. I've pared down my list of teams from previous years. However, that may change as the season progresses.

Former Bengals/Raiders/Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer returned to his roots at Santa Margarita Catholic in southern California. He won his first game as head coach of the Eagles last week when they defeated perennial west coast power Centennial (CA), 33-27.

Santa Margarita has popped up in some national polls, so expectations there are sky high for Palmer.

The Florida football playoffs start next week.

Not all of the brackets have been finalized, but of the teams I follow

() Quadrant/Region seed.
* District Champion 

5A Quadrant 2
(6) Winter Springs @ (3) Gaither*

4A Quadrant 3
(6) Blake @ (3) Clearwater*

6A Quadrant 3
(7) Largo @ (2) West Boca Raton*
(3) Parrish Community @ (6) East Lake*

The 1A Region 1 bracket has yet to be seeded. Clearwater Central Catholic should be in there on the way to try for their 4th straight runner up to Chaminade-Madonna and 5th overall. They're like the Buffalo Bills of Florida High School Football. 

Chaminade-Madonna is attempting to make it to the finals for the 10th straight year and their 9th title. 
 

GCL South teams move on the Ohio D1 playoffs region play.

Anderson beat Withrow 29 to 6.

Luck of the coin in Texas. Varsity blues.
