Florida high school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every county around the state and one area that has become a breeding ground for college prospects is South Suncoast (Charlotte, Manatee, Sarasota counties), with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.

One team out of Sarasota County that has started to see their fortunes turn around in recent years as the Sarasota Sailors have started to have success under head coach Amp Campbell. The Sailors recently released their 2026 schedule and the team will face some of the top teams in the region, including teams like Sarasota Riverview and four-time state champion Venice.

Sarasota returns one of the county’s top quarterbacks in Class of 2028 signal caller Hudson West, who completed 199 of 361 passes for 2,836 yards and 26 touchdowns last season.
