Super 10 rankings
Rank (Previous) School, Record, Classification
1. (1) Bolles (6-0), Class 4A
Last week: Off.
This week: Off.
Notable: The Bulldogs have the rare back-to-back bye weeks after replacement opponent Clearwater Academy International backed out due to expected bad weather last week. They’ve got a very tough game Oct. 22 at Gainesville Buchholz.
2. (4) Trinity Christian (6-1), Class 2A
Last week: d. Plantation American Heritage, 27-14.
This week: at Tallahassee Florida High (5-1).
Notable: What a major bounceback by the Conquerors. One week after getting clubbed by Bolles, they responded with a dominant performance against one of the state’s best programs in Heritage. The score wasn’t a good indication on just how well Trinity performed.
3. (3) Bartram Trail (5-1), Class 8A
Last week: d. Ponte Vedra, 26-24.
This week: vs. (8) Creekside (6-1, 2-0).
Notable: The Bears are winning in different ways this year, typically grinding out wins or using a big play here and there and good defense to shut down teams. Excellent performance by QB Riley Trujillo (14 of 18 passing, 137 yards, TD), RB AJ Megas (105 rushing yards, TD) and K Liam Padron (2 FGs) in a gut-check win against Ponte Vedra.
4. (2) Riverside (6-1), Class 6A
Last week: lost to Columbia, 28-26*.
This week: Off.
Notable: Talk about a disappointing finish last week. The Generals had been sailing along this season until a fourth-quarter collapse against Columbia. Riverside entered the fourth up 26-7. A playoff spot now is contingent on RPI and they’ll open up the postseason on the road, barring Columbia being upset by Orange Park, and then the Raiders winning their next two district games.
5. (8) Columbia (5-2), Class 6A
Last week: d. Riverside, 28-26*.
This week: at Orange Park (2-4, 0-1)*.
Notable: Huge victory for the Tigers last week, on the road, with a stunning fourth quarter finish to beat Riverside. That win all but delivers Columbia the District 3-6A crown for coach Demetric Jackson, Sr. and Co.
6. (10) St. Augustine (4-2), Class 6A
Last week: d. Nease, 28-21.
This week: Off.
Notable: Big rivalry win over previous No. 6 Nease vaults the Yellow Jackets up this week. Their losses have been to teams ahead of them in the Super 10 (No. 1 Bolles and No. 4 Bartram Trail).
7. (9) Baker County (5-2), Class 5A
Last week: d. Ridgeview, 57-6*.
This week: Off.
Notable: The Wildcats are perfect in District 2-5A and careening toward a winner-take-all showdown against White on Oct. 22, a game that will likely decide the district title, provided there’s no upset by Suwannee on Oct. 29.
8. (5) Creekside (6-1), Class 8A
Last week: lost to Atlantic Coast, 29-14.
This week: at (3) Bartram Trail (5-1, 1-0)*.
Notable: The Knights had been living dangerously in recent weeks and finally got into a hole they couldn’t claw out of. That loss ultimately makes no difference if Creekside can keep winning in district play. Its game of the season at rival Bartram is next.
9. (NR) Raines (4-2), Class 5A
Last week: d. Sandalwood, 20-14.
This week: vs. Yulee (3-3, 1-1), 6:30 p.m.*
Notable: The Vikings are back in the Super 10, nudging out White this week. A win over the Hornets, packaged with a Parker win over Ribault, will give Raines the District 3-5A title.
10. (6) Nease (5-2), Class 7A
Last week: lost to St. Augustine, 28-21.
This week: at Fletcher (3-3, 2-0)*, 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Panthers couldn’t hold off the Yellow Jackets in a rivalry showdown last week, but that’s in the rearview now. Nease has a shot to take a very big step towards the District 3-7A title this week. A win here, coupled with a loss by Fleming Island to First Coast, would give Nease the district crown.
