Super 10 rankings
Rank (Previous) School, Record, Classification
1. (2) Riverside (9-1), Class 6A
Last week: d. White, 28-14.
This week: Region 1-6A quarterfinals, at Columbia (6-4), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Generals are the fourth different team at the No. 1 position this season. Their lone defeat came in a 28-26 game to Columbia, although that loss cost them a top seed in the region.
2. (1) Bartram Trail (8-2), Class 8A
Last week: lost to Gainesville Buchholz, 28-13.
This week: Region 1-8A quarterfinals, vs. Lake Brantley (6-4), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Bears tumbled in their regular season finale against a tough opponent, but it’s a new season now. A win over the Patriots would send them on to a showdown against Apopka or a rematch with district rival Creekside.
3. (3) Bolles (6-2), Class 4A
Last week: Off.
This week: Off, Region 1-4A quarterfinals bye.
Notable: The Bulldogs have had a tough go of things late. They dropped back-to-back games, then lost last week’s scheduled opponent, Daytona Beach Mainland, to a weather cancellation. As the No. 2 seed in Region 1-4A, they’re off this week due to a bye.
4. (4) Raines (7-2), Class 5A
Last week: Vero Beach (6-2), canceled.
This week: Region 1-5A quarterfinals, vs. Parker (7-3), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Vikings lost their game last week to a weather cancellation, but the arrow is definitely ticking upward for the Vikings. They open the state playoffs at home against a tough Parker team who they edged 13-9 in the regular season.
5. (5) Baker County (8-2), Class 5A
Last week: d. Baldwin, 49-21.
This week: Region 1-5A quarterfinals, vs. White (5-4), 7;30 p.m.
Notable: An excellent regular season for the Wildcats, who earned the top seed in Region 1-5A. They get a district rematch against the Commanders this week, a team that it beat 36-16 this year.
6. (7) Creekside (8-2), Class 8A
Last week: d. Ponte Vedra, 23-17.
This week: Region 1-8A quarterfinals, at Apopka (8-2), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: An excellent regular season, capped by a rivalry win over the Sharks, gave the Knights the best record in program history. As a No. 6 seed in the playoffs, the Knights have a brutal opener at perennial state power Apopka.
7. (6) Trinity Christian (6-4), Class 2A
Last week: lost to Tallahassee Lincoln, 19-6.
This week: Off, Region 1-2A quarterfinals bye.
Notable: It’s been a tough end to the regular season for the Conquerors, who dropped their third straight game. Trinity gets a week off as the No. 1 seed in Region 1-2A. The Conquerors should romp through to the regional final.
8. (10) Union County (10-0), Class 1A
Last week: d. Cocoa Beach, 54-0.
This week: Region 3-1A quarterfinals, vs. Trenton (4-5), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Tigers wrapped up a perfect regular season last week and joined Brunswick, Ga. as the only two unbeaten teams in the area this year. Union County opens up against Trenton. A win there would set up an all-local second-round matchup against Hilliard.
9. (9) St. Augustine (6-3), Class 6A
Last week: d. Palatka, 35-0.
This week: Season finished, missed playoffs.
Notable: A bitter end to the regular season for the Yellow Jackets, who thrashed the rival Panthers but slipped in the final RPI rankings. St. Augustine finished 11th in Region 1-6A in RPI. The Yellow Jackets’ losses were to Bartram Trail, Bolles and district champ Gainesville. The playoff miss was St. Augustine’s first since 1998, which was the longest active streak for an area public school team.
10. (NR) Nease (7-3), Class 7A
Last week: d. Westside, 39-0.
This week: Region 1-7A quarterfinals, at Spruce Creek (8-1), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Panthers capped a turnaround from one win in 2020 to seven wins and the state playoffs this season. A tough playoff opener at Spruce Creek awaits.
