No school Nov. 5 in Florida counties

Schools in Indian River and St. Lucie counties will remain closed Nov. 5 following the deluge of rains and flooding from earlier in the week, according to officials. While the Indian River County School District reports buildings are dry and secure with power and air conditioning, there are concerns about whether students and employees can travel safely to and from school. “Students need safe bus routes, roads, bridges, sidewalks, and pathways to reach school,” the district stated. “Many major roads remain closed across the county, including in South County and along the Oslo corridor . In parts of Highlands, roads remain unsafe and some homes are without power.” Nearly 100 employees can’t report to work “because of conditions in their areas.” Practice fields are closed, and extracurricular activities and practices are canceled until further notice.

Football Open Division matchups set, St. Thomas Aquinas takes No. 1 seed

St. Thomas Aquinas' quest for an unprecedented eight consecutive state title will be its toughest road yet. The Raiders are the top seed in the inaugural Florida High School Athletic Association Open Division. St. Thomas (10-0) went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the USA Today Florida Super 25. Aquinas will be in a four-team pool with No. 4 Chaminade-Madonna (8-2), No. 5 Lakeland (9-1) and No. 8 Venice (9-1). The pool features a pair of rematches from regular season thrillers. St. Thomas Aquinas needed a second half rally and a last-minute blocked field goal to top Chaminade 21-20 on Oct. 2. Venice topped Lakeland 32-25 in double overtime on Sept. 4. The opening matchup of Lakeland at St. Thomas Aquinas is a rematch of the past two Class 5A state title games. The Raiders won both of those championship games — 34-0 in 2024 and 29-0 in 2025. The other four-team pool is No. 2 Columbus (9-1), No. 3 West Boca (9-1), No. 6 Miami Central (7-3) and No. 7 Raines (10-0). Columbus' lone loss this season was a 31-24 result at St. Thomas Aquinas in Week 3. West Boca, the back-to-back Class 6A state champion, is undefeated
