JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The biggest week of the high school football regular season is in the books, headlined by an upset decades in the making.
On Friday night, Bradford, St. Augustine, Suwannee and Trinity Christian wrapped up district championships with easy wins, but the stunner belonged to coach Tim Krause and Bishop Kenny, which edged Bolles 14-13 to win the District 2-2M title in a victory that’s been decades in the making.
The last time the Crusaders (7-1, 3-0) beat Bolles (5-4, 2-1) came in 1977. Since then, the Bulldogs had rattled off 27 consecutive wins over Kenny, including a come-from-behind in 2017 with just 9 seconds to play.
Not this time.
James Resar had a touchdown run to open the fourth quarter, putting the Crusaders in front 14-13. Kenny blocked a field goal attempt with less than three minutes to go and was then able to bleed the clock for the historic win.
The Crusaders will enter the playoffs as a high seed, potentially as a No. 1 seed in Region 1-2M should it beat University Christian next week. Bolles, currently fourth in the FHSAA power rankings in the region, is poised to tumble after the loss. And the Bulldogs have a tough finale, with Gainesville Buchholz on the schedule.
Bradford beat Palatka 35-14, allowing just its second and third touchdowns of the season in the win. The Tornadoes (9-0) wrapped up the District 6-2S title with the win.
In District 4-3S, St. Augustine locked up a playoff spot by winning the district with a 45-7 rout of Clay. The Yellow Jackets (6-3) are back in the playoffs after missing out last year.
Suwannee barreled in to next week’s showdown with Bradford with a 22-14 win over Wakulla to claim the District 4-2S crown. The Bulldogs (6-3) have won five straight.
Trinity Christian polished off a perfect mark in District 1-1M with a 55-10 rout of Providence. The Conquerors are 9-0.
A night earlier, Fletcher, Jackson, Mandarin and White wrapped up district championships.
