Florida State University High School had to kick off their season on the road on Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. They walked away with a 43-36 win over the Godby Cougars. Given the Seminoles' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 49th, while the Cougars are ranked 169th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Florida State University High School got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jayme Miller out in front who threw for 285 yards and four TDs while completing 80% of his passes. The dominant performance also gave Miller a new career-high in rushing yards (23). Another rusher making a difference was Teagan Hackett, who rushed for 127 yards and a pair of scores.

Florida State University High School didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Godby to a completion percentage of just 48.8%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Jason Harville and Antonio Dickey Jr, who each logged two passes deflected.
