It’s the final four in high school football and the area has four teams still going strong. Two area teams (Bolles, Raines) are hosting state semifinal games, while Ponte Vedra and Trinity Christian head on the road for their games.
The Vikings used five total touchdowns from reigning player of the year Timothy Cole and another ferocious defensive performance to wallop Ribault 53-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Bolles and Mandarin came away with wins in their Super 10 showdowns on Friday night, but it was Raines that drove home an exclamation point in Week 4.
The Varsity 4 News4JAX preseason Super 10 is here. Records shown are from the finish of 2024. During the regular season, the Super 10 will be published on Tuesdays.
Varsity 4 and News4JAX has been counting down the days to the high school football regular season with a player each day. We started the countdown at 25 days out and are slowly making our way to kickoff on Aug. 22 by spotlighting a different player each day.
Baker's Sports high school football media day serves as the unofficial launching point of the season. Athletes descend on the stadium and answer questions, pose for photos and talk about the season. News4JAX captured representatives from teams in this photo gallery above.
Some high school teams marked the start of fall practices by kicking things off at midnight to get things going as the march to the regular season begins. Here’s what you need to get caught up on the 2025 season.
Raines quarterback TJ Cole, the Varsity 4 All-News4JAX offensive player of the year, flirted with area passing history and led Raines to the state championship game. As good as the individual success was — and it was very, very good — Cole says the job for the Vikings is not yet finished.
The high school football regular season is off and rolling. News4JAX Varsity 4 Super 10 is here. It will be published on Tuesday through the end of the regular season.

After coming to Raines from its biggest rival, Timothy Cole has embraced the Vikings culture and in turn been embraced by the school’s students and fans and definitely his new teammates. All that was even before Friday night.
