Naples company wins 'Coolest Thing Made in Florida' competition
A local company has been recognized with a state title for its innovation. A product manufactured by North Naples-based Arthrex Inc. has been named the 2026 Coolest Thing Made in Florida . The medical device manufacturer earned the title after its product, the TightRope PRO Implant, beat out more than 100 others made in the state (across all 67 counties). The product is described as a next-generation solution for treating high-ankle injuries and ankle instability. Organized by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and FloridaCommerce, the annual competition is designed to celebrate the manufacturers, products and workers driving innovation and strengthening Florida’s economy. The competition was launched in 2025.

South Fort Myers upsets Naples for first playoff win since 2014
Having spent a majority of their season on the road, there is little that can unnerve the Wolfpack. Even one of the most difficult venues for away teams in Staver Field and a round of the playoffs where the Golden Eagles have historically succeeded. No. 6 seed South Fort Myers imposed its will on defense and relied on the legs of junior quarterback Jaydon Henderson to knock off the third-seed Naples 32-27 in the Class 4A-Region 3 quarterfinal on Friday, Nov. 13. The teams came in with plenty of familiarity after splitting meetings last year with the Golden Eagles getting the final say with a 21-13 first-round playoff victory. “It feels lovely,” South Fort Myers senior defensive lineman Ja’Dell Carter said. “It’s always good to win at Naples.” Carter and the South defense led the way, holding the Naples rushing attack in check for most of the game and forcing four turnovers. The first came when sophomore Jer’Shard Benjamin leapt up to intercept a pass by junior Naples quarterback Devin Dunford. Benjamin was rewarded immediately as Henderson found him streaking behind the defense for a 67-yard score. “So goes (Benjamin), so goes our team,” South head coach Matt Holderfield said.
