Rank, Previous, School (Record, classification)
1. (2) St. Augustine (4-0, Class 3S)
Last week: d. Bartram Trail, 34-31.
This week: vs. Matanzas (3-1).
Notable: The Yellow Jackets become the fourth different No. 1 team this season, joining Mandarin, Bartram Trail and Trinity Christian. They ended a five-game losing streak to Bartram last week behind another strong performance from backup QB Dylan Cook.
2. (4) Bradford (4-0, Class 2S)
Last week: OFF.
This week: vs. Keystone Heights (2-2), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Tornadoes started the season at No. 2 and they’re right back here at the midway point. They’ve allowed just 14 points defensively this season behind a bevy of hard-hitting defensive stars. A win in their District 6-2S opener on Friday puts them in a district title showdown against Palatka on Oct. 27.
3. (1) Mandarin (4-1, Class 4M)
Last week: lost to Creekside, 23-22.
This week: at Lake Mary (4-0)
Notable: The Mustangs lost their third straight game to Creekside last week, with turnovers a big reason for that. This is another big time test for Mandarin. The unbeaten Rams are a team that the Mustangs could see again very early in the state playoffs.
4. (3) Bartram Trail (2-2 Class 4S)
Last week: lost to St. Augustine, 34-31.
This week: at Fleming Island (2-2), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Bears lost for the first time in six years to the rival Yellow Jackets and are on a rare two-game losing streak entering their District 3-4S opener against a Fleming team also on a two-game slide. This district is the area’s most challenging.
5. (10) Bolles (2-3, Class 2M)
Last week: d. Oakleaf, 44-28.
This week: vs. Episcopal (3-1), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Bulldogs have won back-to-back games over Super 10 teams, edging Trinity Christian in Week 4 and then drilling Oakleaf in Week 5. Their losses are to Mandarin, St. Augustine and Coffee, Ga. Episcopal this week is their district opener, launching a second half of the season that should feature its share of running clock games.
6. (5) Trinity Christian (3-2, Class 2M)
Last week: d. Columbia, 27-13.
This week: vs. Rockledge (3-2).
Notable: The Conquerors handled Columbia to win their fourth straight game in the series. For Trinity, the second half is about cleaning things up for a state playoff run. The Rock should provide a solid test on Friday night.
7. (7) Ponte Vedra (3-1, Class 4S)
Last week: d. Menendez, 32-12.
This week: at Flagler Palm Coast (2-2).
Notable: The Sharks have won three straight after a Week 1 loss to Bartram Trail. They open District 4-4S play against the Bulldogs this week, a game that will likely determine the district champ.
8. (8) Raines (3-1, Class 2M)
Last week: d. Ocala Trinity Catholic, 27-26.
This week: at Riverside (4-1), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Vikings bounced back from a shellacking at the hands of Mainland with a razor-thin win over the Celtics. They’ve got a tough one this week against a Generals team that is putting things together and won a district title last week.
9. (9) University Christian (2-1, Class 1M)
Last week: d. Key West, 41-17.
This week: vs. Providence (4-1).
Notable: Long road trip for an easy win. Now, it’s back home and into district play against a Stallions team that is in a groove and rolling after four straight wins.
10. (6) Oakleaf (2-1, Class 4S)
Last week: lost to Bolles, 44-28.
This week: at Creekside (2-3).
Notable: The Knights couldn’t stay with a tough Bolles team in Week 5. They get the nod this week in the Super 10 over Creekside and Riverside. This is a district game and a huge one for Oakleaf. A win keeps it in contention for a district title, with games against Bartram and Gainesville Buchholz still on deck.
