Florida high school football recap: Columbia, Columbus send messages
Columbia and Columbus flexed their muscle, while IMG outlasted NFL Academy in Week 9 . While some key games were impacted by inclement weather — most notably West Boca and The First Academy's second half, which was postponed until Tuesday — Week 9 had a little bit of everything.

Trinity Christian, American Heritage and Venice all scored key wins in close games. Here's some thoughts from Week 9's top games: FHSAA Open Division projections: Newman football still in after loss Columbus reinforces status as state power Just about the only thing that didn't go Columbus' way in the GMAC championship was the weather. But by the time the game was called midway through the third quarter, the Explorers had built a commanding 28-3 lead over Miami Central. No team had handled the Rockets this way this season.

Success Academy's move into five Miami-Dade high schools could lead to layoffs
