The Florida Focus with Michael Costeines Premium Content

We are inching closer to the start of the scholastic season here in South Florida. Per FHSAA, the first day schools are allowed to practice is Oct. 31. Preseason classics follow on Nov.14 with the first regular season playing date on Nov. 21.

Today, I would like to highlight programs to watch that did not win a state championship last season.

Let's go in focus:

Mater Lakes Academy (Last season: 22-8)

Final Result: Lost to Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian in Class 4A regional finals.
