Last week: d. John Carroll Catholic, 45-20

Last week: d. St. Augustine, 38-35
This week: at Creekside (4-5)

Last week: d. Gainesville, 27-12
This week: at White (3-6), Thursday, 6 p.m.
Glance: It wasn't easy last week, but the Generals pulled away late in the second half to wrap up the district title and a top four seed in the region for the state playoffs. Rivalry game this week before the playoffs.

Last week: d. White, 16-13
This week: vs. Fletcher (6-3), Thursday, 6 p.m.

Last week: d. Crescent City, 28-13
This week: vs. Bishop Kenny (1-7), 7:30 p.m.
