Bishop Verot might be the best team nobody knows about.  6-1 only loss by a fg to an unbeaten ranked opponent yet no love in any polls.

Bishop Verot lost to Cardinal Mooney who is their big rival.  Bishop Verot will be tested over the next few weeks: American Heritage Delray and Tampa Catholic.

Chaminade defeated Booker T. last year. I think that was the game the Booker T. QB got hurt and Chaminade pulled away since the Tornados offense went into the toilet after he went out.  I just can't see this Booker T. team hanging with Chaminade, even if it's played in Miami.

Cardinal Gibbons vs AH-P should be another really good one!

Have added some information related to the district matchups in the original post.  Treasure Coast vs Vero has a lot of intrigue due to Vero's domination of the series of late, and that one could be a shootout.

Amazing that two Catholic schools, Bishop Verot and Cardinal Mooney, over 75 miles apart have a rivalry series, but Catholic schools in Broward and Dade Counties cannot pull it off.

From all I can gather it's a pretty intense rivalry as well. Not Braden River/Venice, but it's up there in terms of private school rivalries. It's also pretty well split as well, one team isn't dominating.  Mooney has gone on to have a fantastic season under a legendary head coach. They're probably one of the best small-school feel good stories of the year. 

Bishop Verot will have their hands full this week this tough. American Heritage competed well against Uschool for a half, but the superior depth of Uschool (and RB Kenny McIntosh) was too much to overcome.

...observations

• Bishop Verot proves it is for real in 4A with tight win over AH Delray..
• Cocoa offense puts up 44 points 2nd week in a row. 
• Bloomingdale proves it is for real with win over TB tech.
• Dwyer's offense is putting up some gaudy numbers.
• Dillard's win over Western keeps looking better, as Western beats undefeated Plantation.  
• Riverview takes out Manatee after being upset by Newsome last week...so much parity in 8A.
