Florida High School Football: Mitchell reveals 2026 slate
High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Florida, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates. Florida high school football is seeing a number of teams all over the state release their 2026 schedules and next up are the Mitchell Mustangs of New Port Richey, Florida. The Mustangs are always one of Pasco County’s top high school football programs on an annual basis under the watch of head coach Andy Schmitz , who is tied with the late John Castelamare for the third-most wins in county history with 107.
Mitchell will have to replace a lot of senior talent from last year’s 10-win team as quarterback Cayden Thomas (South Carolina State signee) graduates after totaling nearly 3,000 all-purpose yards and scoring 38 touchdowns. The Mustangs will also have to replace all-everything Bryce Backus , who accumulated over 1,000 all-purpose yards, 13 total touchdowns and made 70 tackles on defense.
