contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As part of the Sunshine State Athletic Conference, the Vipers will travel down the road to play a Satellite program that ended 2025 with a 10-2 record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That game will be one of two that will shine the spotlight on many independent programs who will also compete against some quality teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In LaBelle, the 10-1 Cowboys will open the year against Arcadia DeSoto with plenty of optimism of playing for a state title.</p> <!--

again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two games will open the door for a full schedule that will also include defending champion Delray American Heritage, who will begin on Friday at Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Stallions finished off the 2025 season with a 10-3 record – while the Eagles were 7-3.</p> <!--
