Florida high school football scores: Recap regional quarterfinal games

It's high school football playoff time in Florida! The exhilarating end to the season is in high gear at fields across the Sunshine State on this Football Friday.

For the first time, that includes an Open Division of the eight highest-rated teams in the state, starting with a three-week round-robin tournament. St. Thomas Aquinas, the wire-to-wire No. 1 team in the USA TODAY Florida Super 25, kicks off against Lakeland, looking to snap its two-year postseason losing skid to the Raiders. Columbus seeks a season sweep against Miami Central, while 10-0 Raines heads south to face West Boca and Chaminade-Madonna welcomes Venice.

There's more great action outside the Open Division, which started Thursday night. Tonight sees Cocoa travel to Tampa Catholic in Region 2-2A, Trinity Christian host Father Lopez in Region 2-1A, unbeaten Columbia opening against Clay in Region 1-4A and Nease take on Pace in Region 1-5A. And if that's not enough, IMG Academy heads to national powerhouse St. Frances in Maryland on Saturday night in an attempt to cap a perfect season.
