Super 10 rankings
Rank (Previous) School, Record, Classification
1. (1) Bolles (6-0), Class 4A
Last week: Off.
This week: at Gainesville Buchholz (6-1).
Notable: After two weeks without football, the Bulldogs are back in action. It’s a tough one. Buchholz is a perennial thorn in the side of area teams.
2. (3) Bartram Trail (6-1), Class 8A
Last week: d. Creekside, 16-13.
This week: at Oakleaf (4-3, 1-1)*.
Notable: The Bears just keep finding ways to win. K Liam Padron has been the answer the past two weeks, kicking Bartram past Ponte Vedra in Week 7 and a district rival Creekside last week. A win over Oakleaf (and a Sandalwood loss to Mandarin) will give Bartram the District 1-8A crown.
3. (2) Trinity Christian (6-2), Class 2A
Last week: lost to Tallahassee Florida High, 31-17.
This week: vs. Riverside (6-1), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Conquerors dropped another game to a tough opponent, and one they starched last year. Mission remains the same for Trinity — stay healthy for a deep playoff run. Very tough matchup Friday against the Generals.
4. (5) Columbia (6-2), Class 6A
Last week: d. Orange Park, 42-14*.
This week: at Madison County (4-3), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Tigers wrapped up the District 3-6A title last week. That means they’ll earn one of the top four seeds in Region 1-6A play. They’ve got two very difficult opponents to close with, including a trip to Boot Hill to face the Cowboys this week.
5. (4) Riverside (6-1), Class 6A
Last week: Off.
This week: at Trinity Christian (6-2), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Generals look to bounce back after a Week 7 loss to Columbia. They don’t have a chance to win the district anymore, but a win here will certainly help their RPI case for the playoffs.
6. (6) St. Augustine (5-2), Class 6A
Last week: Off.
This week: vs. Matanzas (3-5, 1-2)*.
Notable: The Yellow Jackets remain on pace to face Gainesville for the District 4-6A title next week. They just can’t afford a slip-up along the way.
7. (9) Raines (5-2), Class 5A
Last week: d. Yulee, 25-6.
This week: at Ribault (1-7, 0-2), 2 p.m.*
Notable: The Vikings wrapped up the District 3-5A championship with a win (and a Ribault loss) last week. They’ll play in the 52nd Northwest Classic this week and try to keep their biggest rival reeling.
8. (7) Baker County (5-2), Class 5A
Last week: Off.
This week: vs. White (5-1, 3-0)*.
Notable: Game of the season for the Wildcats, who can take a big step toward winning the District 2-5A title by beating the Commanders. A win (and a loss by Suwannee to Bishop Kenny) would give Baker County the district crown.
9. (NR) University Christian (5-2), Class 2A
Last week: d. Foundation Academy, 41-13.
This week: at Parker (5-3), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Christians are back in the Super 10 after back-to-back wins. They’ve got a tough, all-local closing stretch, starting with the physical defense of Parker on Friday night.
10. (8) Creekside (6-2), Class 8A
Last week: lost to (2) Bartram Trail, 16-13*.
This week: Off.
Notable: The Knights are in gut-check mode. They’ve lost back-to-back games after a program-best start and need a miracle to win the district championship. Creekside stays in ahead of surging Fletcher and Mandarin, two teams that no one wants to face right now.
