JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The high school football regular season is down to the final two weeks.
Bartram Trail notched Week 9′s biggest victory, using another strong performance from its defense to beat Gainesville Buchholz 21-6 to wrap up the District 3-4S championship. The Bears (8-0, 3-0) will close out their district schedule next week against Oakleaf but the district crown is already locked up. Beating the Bobcats, a state semifinalist a season ago, was the biggest remaining challenge for the Super 10 No. 2 Bears.
No. 8 Creekside edged Fleming Island 38-35 in another big showdown with playoff implications. The Knights (6-2) likely locked up an at-large berth in Region 1-4S with the victory.
Fourth-ranked Bradford’s defense continued its stranglehold on opposing offenses, posting its seventh shutout of the season in a 44-0 blowout of Dunnellon. Jamie Rodgers’ Bradford team is 8-0 and can wrap up the District 6-2S title with a win over Palatka next week.
No. 3 Jackson won its seventh consecutive game with a tough 21-14 victory over Baker County. The Tigers (7-1) enter next Thursday’s District 1-2M showdown at Raines riding a seven-game winning streak.
Stanton ended a 17-game losing streak with a 14-0 win over St. Joseph. The Blue Devils (1-6) hadn’t won since a Week 10 victory over Zarephath Academy in the 2020 season.
