Miami Carol City football players, parents sue FHSAA in last-minute playoff plea
This story has been updated with new information. Another high school football program has turned to the courts in an effort to keep its playoff hopes alive, but its legal challenge has hit an immediate roadblock . A Miami-Dade County judge on Friday, Nov. 6, denied an emergency request for an injunction filed by 11 Miami Carol City (FL) football players and their respective parents or guardians, leaving the Chiefs' postseason ban in place for the 2026 high school football playoffs. Attorney Jason Setchen of AthleteDefender and Coffey Burlington filed a verified complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief on Nov. 4 in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.

The appeal denial comes five days before the FHSAA is scheduled to announce its postseason brackets on Friday, Nov. 6. Carol City had been among the state's top-ranked programs and was projected to qualify for the eight-team Open Division field. According to the latest MaxPreps rankings, the Chiefs were ranked No. 6 in the state among projected Open Division qualifiers. With the appeal denied, Carol City will not have an opportunity to compete for any type of championship this season. The original sanctions were announced Oct. 7 after the FHSAA reviewed video evidence and a report submitted by Carol City following the Oct. 2 incident.
