Wonder if they are playing a varsity schedule or not. I’m sure they could with teams like Brandon, Freedom, Leto etc 

Hillsborough may have a new one . . . Morgan???    Not sure. 

I seen a team called Nova Lakes on a bunch of Orange County schedules. It’s a new school in Osceola County.    Any other ones off hand who plan on playing varsity football for the first time in 2026?

@LAZ when you get a chance, can you tell me if you have Munroe Day vs North Bay Haven from 9/28/2012?    Maxpreps only lists on North Bay Haven’s 2012 schedule one game with Aucilla Christian, but I know they played Munroe Day because a player for Munroe was Big Bend Player of the week based on his game against NBH.    please let me know because it will let me close 2 teams 

When the dust settled, the FHSAA now has 416 teams committed to the 2026 championship classifications.  For comparison, there were 448 teams participating in the FHSAA state series in 2025, representing a 7% loss in teams competing for a state championship this year.  For those who haven't seen the most recent updated classifications, the link is here:  https://fhsaa.com/news/2026/2/13/football-classifications-available-for-2026-27and2027-28.aspx
