So, how did Friday night’s football action play out?

Top-ranked Trinity Christian won a 43-30 shootout against visiting Columbia.

No. 2 Bartram Trail roared past rival St. Augustine 59-37 for its fifth consecutive win in that St. Johns County rivalry.

Speaking of St. Johns, the newest programs there, Beachside and Tocoi Creek, stayed on their hot paths. The Barracudas hammered Ridgeview (42-15) while the Toros edged Clay (26-21). Those schools are a combined 7-2.

Fourth-ranked Creekside used special teams to rein in No. 8 Mandarin, 37-27.

No. 7 Bolles dropped its third consecutive game, falling 26-7 to Savannah Benedictine. It marks the first time since the 1988 season that the Bulldogs (2-3) have lost three straight games, albeit, all to excellent programs (unbeatens Brunswick and Trinity Christian before the Cadets). Benedictine is the defending Class 4A state champ in Georgia.

The perfect seasons continued for Palatka and Interlachen. The Panthers (4-0) walloped Lake Weir 36-0, while the Rams (5-0) beat Keystone Heights, 26-12.

Also staying perfect were Bishop Kenny (5-0), Episcopal (4-0), University Christian (5-0) and Bradford (4-0).

Those four join Bartram, Trinity, Palatka and Interlachen as local Florida programs with unblemished records entering Week 6.

Among South Georgia unbeatens, Brunswick (5-0), Pierce County (5-0) and Ware County (4-0) remain perfect. The Pirates headlined Friday night with a 55-21 rout of Glynn Academy in the City Championship showdown.

Speaking of streaking, First Coast beat Westside 14-12 for its third consecutive win. That streak is the best by the Buccaneers (3-1) since De’Andre Johnson’s final season at First Coast in 2014.
