Christopher Columbus High School is a private college preparatory institution that has worked since 1958 to encourage and nurture the growth of a student in heart, mind, and body.  The 21st-century adept campus is located in Miami, Florida and encompasses 8 academic buildings.  The school has established itself as a facility that is second to none, offering a unique blend of technology-infused educational approaches, career-focused curriculum pathways, and exceptional extracurricular opportunities.  The school offers 16 varsity level sports that compete in Florida’s 9A level.

The Columbus Varsity Explorers are currently gearing up for their second round of playoffs which will take place tomorrow (11/16) on their home turf.  The team dominated their first playoff game, earning a 50-0 win last Friday and progressing their current record of the season to 9-1.  The Explorers are also undefeated at home for the season-an advantage that will hopefully continue in their match against South Dade High School.

In the recent years since Christopher Columbus High School renovated their football field, the team has never not made it to the semifinals of playoffs.  This is in addition to a long history of outstanding performance that includes consistently making it to the semifinals as well as competed for the state title 3 years ago.  The Act Global-manufactured synthetic turf surface is a professional-quality system that is distinctly engineered to offer superior player safety and comfort.  The artificial grass is composed of balancing system components to improve foot stability and foot interaction with the surface, prevent ligament stress and allow safe starts and stops, and reduce player fatigue and injury.  With the backing of over 100 laboratory tests and benchmarks against the top natural grass field (Texas A&M), Act Global synthetic turf is proven to both protect players and remain a durable surface for years.  This allows the Explorers to be confident that the surface they are playing on is consistent.

You are able to watch the game live streamed tomorrow night here.

Good luck to the Explorers!
