JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The high school football season is off and running, including a handful of Super 10 upsets in a busy Week 1 on Friday night.
Top-ranked Raines won its 15th consecutive game in a 21-7 slugfest over No. 9 Oakleaf in the Varsity 4 Game of the Week. The Vikings, last year’s Class 3A state champions, trailed 7-6 at halftime before picking things up after the break. Curtis Asberry and TJ Williamson scored rushing touchdowns in the second half and the Vikings defense, led by Troy Butler and Johdeem Jones, put the clamps on the Knights.
