JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We’re nearly through eight full weeks of the high school football season, with one big game left.
Raines faces Ribault on Saturday afternoon in the Northwest Classic, a district clash and the biggest rivalry in the area. The sixth-ranked Vikings (6-1) have won five straight in the series against the Trojans (3-3). That game will put a bow on Week 8 as the regular season crawls to the finish line. The biggest change in that game on Saturday — the venue. Since Ribault is being torn down and rebuilt, the game will be played at First Coast.
In one of Friday’s headlining games, host Bartram Trail won for the 16th time in 17 meetings against rival Creekside, pulling away for a 31-19 win in a Super 10 showdown. The win eliminates Creekside from the District 3-4S race and sets the third-ranked Bears (4-3) up for a winner-take-all game against Gainesville Buchholz on Thursday night. Quarterback Jaden Weatherly, starting in place of injured Riley Trujillo, threw three touchdown passes to lead Bartram.
Baker County in the playoffs
The Wildcats kept their mastery over Yulee going strong
Hudson Register and Chase Phillips tossed touchdown passes to Conner Bearden and Vontayus Walker as Baker County stormed to a big lead and knocked off Yulee 32-14. Register found Walker for another score late in the fourth quarter to pad the lead and nail down the District 5-2S title. Ke’nais Williams had a rushing touchdown for Baker (4-3), which beat Yulee for the third time in two years. Baker led 20-0 before Yulee managed to get on the scoreboard.
The Wildcats join Riverside (District 3-2M champ) as area teams to have clinched playoff berths.
