JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Week 9 of the high school football season is in the books.
The big storylines on Friday night — the area’s No. 1 team is unbeaten no more, and three more teams clinched district titles.
But Week 9 isn’t over.
Raines visits Ribault on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the 52nd Northwest Classic.
Super 10 No. 1 Bolles dropped its first game of the season in a tough 14-7 game at Gainesville Buchholz. The Bulldogs (6-1) were one of four remaining unbeaten teams in the News4Jax Florida coverage area. Hilliard edged Trenton, 28-21, to put a bow on an 8-0 regular season.
The Red Flashes haven’t lost a regular season game since 2019. Hilliard has won 18 consecutive regular season games. Its last loss came on Oct. 18, 2019 in a 37-25 game to Fernandina Beach.
Union County routed Santa Fe 49-14 to move to 8-0. And Keystone Heights crushed Taylor Pierson 50-7 on Thursday night to improve to 8-0.
Brunswick (8-0) is the area’s lone unbeaten in the south Georgia coverage area. The Pirates were off on Friday night.
Three teams wrapped up district titles on Friday night.
Bartram Trail topped Oakleaf, 49-33 to clinch the District 1-8A crown.
Fletcher crushed First Coast 44-14 to win the District 3-7A title.
Baker County ran over White, 36-16, to win the District 2-5A title.
Those teams join Raines (District 3-5A) and Columbia (District 3-6A) to have clinched district titles and one of the top four seeds in their region for the playoffs. Spot Nos. 5-8 in Class 5A-8A regions are determined via RPI points following Week 11 games.
