  "account": "Week 8 of the Florida high school football season features three games with significant implications for the Open Division and district standings, as well as potential rivalry and revenge. Chaminade-Madonna faces off against Cardinal Newman in a rematch of the 2025 Class 1A state championship, with Chaminade trailing from a 21-20 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas in Week 7. The Lions enter the game with a 4-2 record and have not lost three straight regular season games since 2016. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Tech and Armwood clash in a game that highlights the rivalry between West Coast teams. Armwood has dominated the past three regular season matchups, including a 28-7 victory last year, while Lake Wales hosts Jones. Neither team can afford to lose in this game if they wish to remain in contention for the Open Division, as Jones has defeated Lake Wales in their last three meetings, with each game decided by at least 12 points.",
