FCP Coastal Opens Season With Home Win Over IMG Academy — Game Recap

Florida Coastal Prep’s Coastal team opened the 2025-26 season Friday with a home victory over IMG Academy, posting a result that gives the program an early positive footing as the SIAA schedule gets underway.

Final score figures were not officially recorded for this contest, but the result was never in question on the FCP side of the scorebook. The Coastal squad, drawing on the coaching staff’s preparation and a motivated group of players eager to establish themselves in the fall window, controlled enough of the game’s key possessions to close it out at home. IMG Academy is among the most well-resourced prep programs in the country, which makes any win against them a meaningful data point for a young team still building identity. The Spartans’ defensive discipline in the second half proved to be the difference, limiting IMG’s transition opportunities and protecting the lead when it mattered most.

For the Coastal team, this result sets a strong early benchmark. The squad will face a demanding schedule across the winter months, and a season-opening win at home provides confidence and momentum heading into road contests later in the calendar.
