Chaminade-Madonna visits Coconut Creek on Friday night in one of the top Broward County games of Week 11. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., according to the MaxPreps game page for this matchup.

That MaxPreps game page lists Chaminade-Madonna at 7-2 and Coconut Creek at 7-1, and describes the game as an away non-conference game for Chaminade-Madonna at Coconut Creek. The Palm Beach Post lists the same matchup among its top games to watch on Friday, Oct. 30, with Chaminade-Madonna as No. 1 in Class 2A and Coconut Creek as No. 8 in Class 4A.

Chaminade-Madonna comes in off a 41-6 win over Cardinal Gibbons. High School on SI reported quarterback Brady Quinn completed 17 of 21 passes for 266 yards and four touchdowns in that win, the Lions’ sixth victory in their last seven games.

Coconut Creek comes in as a district champion. A South Florida Top 20 breakdown published Oct. 29 said the Cougars beat Piper 27-24 to lock up a district title, and noted Coconut Creek may improve its MaxPreps power ranking simply by playing Chaminade-Madonna.

That is the honest stake here. A home team with one loss on the MaxPreps game page hosts a state power in the regular season finale, with seeding and ranking movement still possible after Friday night.

Berkeley Prep hosts Sickles on Friday night in Tampa to close the regular season, with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. Berkeley Prep enters at 6-2 and Sickles at 1-8, according to MaxPreps. Berkeley Prep’s schedule page confirms the Buccaneers are home against Sickles on October 30.

Berkeley Prep has built a 6-2 season and will look to add a seventh win at home before turning its attention to the playoffs. The Buccaneers will try to control the game early, protect the football, and let their home crowd settle in. Sickles travels across Tampa at 1-8, closing the season with a chance to compete against a winning team and finish with effort its seniors can carry with them.

Finales like this are about execution and pride on both sidelines. Berkeley Prep cannot afford to overlook a county opponent, and Sickles has nothing to lose on the road. The Buccaneers will look for a clean, complete performance, while the Gryphons will look to create short fields and keep the game within reach into the second half.
