Chamberlain hosts Alonso on Friday night in Tampa to close the regular season, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Alonso enters at 8-1 and Chamberlain at 4-5, according to MaxPreps. Chamberlain’s schedule page confirms the Storm are home against Alonso on October 30.

Alonso has put together one of the strongest regular seasons in Hillsborough County, with eight wins in nine games. The Ravens travel across Tampa looking for a ninth win before the playoffs. Chamberlain, at home for the finale, gets a chance to finish at .500 and to test itself against an 8-1 opponent in front of its own crowd.

For the Storm, the path is clear even if it is not easy: slow Alonso’s offense, win on special teams, and turn the game into a fourth-quarter fight. For Alonso, Friday is about focus: handle the road environment, avoid the upset, and enter the postseason healthy and sharp. Kickoff in Tampa is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday night.

McArthur visits Western on Friday night to close the regular season. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., according to the MaxPreps Florida schedule page for Friday, Oct. 30.

MaxPreps lists Western at 7-2 on that schedule page, with McArthur as the visiting team and Western as the home team. The Wildcats enter the finale with one of the stronger records among Broward County public school programs in Week 11, and they get to defend it at home.

For McArthur, the trip is a final-week test against a seven-win team. A road win in a finale like this carries weight no matter what the earlier weeks looked like, because it comes against a team that has handled most of its schedule.

No venue beyond the home school, district stake or player statistics were stated for this matchup in the schedule source checked, so none are included here, and no record for McArthur is stated in this package because the MaxPreps schedule snippets checked gave conflicting figures for the Mustangs. What is verified is the date, the 7 p.m. start, the home and away teams and Western’s 7-2 record as published by MaxPreps for Oct. 30.

Western will look to close with an eighth win. McArthur will look to spoil that finish on the road. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Friday in Davie.
