In this article:

It goes without saying that the past week has been something quite unusual in the state of Florida.

Because of the effects of Hurricanes Ian, much of Florida came to a standstill this past week as ravaged areas were starting the long recovery process.

For many, the storm changed their lives forever – with property and lives lost during this powerful wind and rain maker. And while many in other areas of the state were much more fortunate, football and other activities were simply the furthest thing from anyone's mind.

As schools begin to open in many areas, the slow process of coming back to football fields will slowly start – giving many communities a much-needed diversion during these toughest of times.

 With several teams not back to action, here is a look at this week's Top 25: 

1. Miami Central (2M – 5-0). THIS WEEK: The annual war against Miami Northwestern on Oct. 7 at Traz Powell Stadium. NEXT GAME: Miami Norland on Oct. 14. LAST WEEK: The Rockets remained unbeaten with a 41-0 district win over North Miami Beach.

2. Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (1M – 5-0). THIS WEEK: The Lions will be off. NEXT GAME: The game with Venice was called off because of Hurricane Ian. LAST WEEK: The game with Port St. Lucie Treasure Coast was called off because of Hurricane Ian.

NEXT GAME: A home district game against Fort Lauderdale on Oct. 14. LAST WEEK: The game with Miramar was called off because of Hurricane Ian.
