FRIDAY Gulf Coast 42, Immokalee 28 The Sharks flipped the script on the Indians midway through the second quarter, burying the hosts under a 41-3 avalanche to run away with the victory and secure themselves a spot in the postseason.

We just can’t let off, that’s all we had to know and get it done for the team.” The Indians built their lead the back of junior running back Youvensley Methulus and senior wide receiver Kendrick Perry, who caught a 23-yard touchdown reception to put the hosts on the board first.

South Fort Myers football forfeits 3 wins due to ineligible player, will appeal
The South Fort Myers High School football team filed an appeal with the Florida High School Athletic Association after the organization forced the Wolfpack to forfeit its first three wins due to an ineligible player. South head coach Matt Holderfield wrote in a text message that the school self-reported the issue after it discovered the situation prior to its Sept. 18 game at Community School of Naples. The player in question hasn’t played since then. Holderfield wrote the player’s eligibility concern dates back to the fall of 2025 when he was enrolled at another Florida school. According to Holderfield, while the team’s record dropped from 7-2 to 4-5 on MaxPreps, the FHSAA told the school the games are currently regarded as no contests for the purposes of playoff consideration. As of Oct. 25, the Wolfpack were firmly in the postseason as the No. 6 seed in Class 4A, Region 3. South Fort Myers’ appeal will be heard at an FHSAA hearing at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. The organization will release its state brackets for football on Friday, Nov. 6. The FHSAA has not yet responded to The News-Press' request for additional information about this situation.

Missed state deadline stalls plans for new golf club in East Naples
Opponents could get another chance to fight the conversion of a long-time citrus grove into an exclusive, private golf club in East Naples. According to a letter from FloridaCommerce, Collier County missed the state's deadline to submit its final approval of a required growth plan amendment by more than a year. After an hours-long hearing on Sept. 22, county commissioners unanimously approved the amendment and rezoning, which faced strong opposition from neighbors who hoped to somehow preserve the 169-acre South Naples Citrus Grove. The state received the county's adopted amendment on Oct. 2. FloridaCommerce deemed it "withdrawn" under state law a few days later because the county took far too long to approve the amendment after the state's initial review last year. As a result of the delay, the state returned the amendment to the county without action — or implementation. The growth plan amendment dates back to 2025 County commissioners voted to transmit the original amendment to the state for review on May 27, 2025. The state sent its review back to the county a little over a month later, on July 2. After the county received the state's comments, it had 180 days to hold the second and
