JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After Week, 10 the playoff picture is coming into focus. Eight district champions were crowned this week, with one big one left to go.
Bradford, St. Augustine and Trinity Christian clinched district titles on Friday night, all with one-sided wins. The Tornadoes (9-0), ranked No. 2 in the Super 10, crushed Palatka 42-0. Top-ranked St. Augustine drilled Clay 49-9 and Trinity cooled off Providence 40-9. Suwannee’s bid for a district crown ended with a 24-21 loss to Wakulla.
A night earlier, Bolles, First Coast and Raines settled the score in district championship wins, atoning for losses in 2022 and punching their postseason tickets. Also wrapping up a district title was Mandarin, which clobbered Sandalwood 43-0 in a running clock blowout to win the District 1-4M crown.
A look at the teams who have clinched district championships and secured their postseason ticket.
District champs
1-4M: Mandarin
1-3M: First Coast.
1-2M: Raines.
2-2M: Bolles.
3-2M: Riverside.
1-1M: Trinity Christian.
3-4S: Gainesville Buchholz.
4-4S: Ponte Vedra OR Nease. Outcome of Nease/Tocoi Creek game in Week 11 will determine champion. A Nease win will clinch district title. A Tocoi Creek win will make a three-team tiebreaker to be determined by FHSAA rankings points. Ponte Vedra would clinch it in that scenario.
3-3S: Columbia.
4-3S: St. Augustine.
4-2S: Wakulla.
5-2S: Baker County.
6-2S: Bradford.
Creekside wins, but loses ground
Creekside thumped Atlantic Coast 26-0 on Thursday night but got a tough bounce in the rankings. Lynn Haven Mosley, which started the week 10th in the region rankings, stunned Niceville for the District 1-4S title. That gives the Dolphins the district title and a spot inside the top eight. And Nease, which started the week 11th in the rankings, upset Ponte Vedra, moved into position for a district championship.
Why does that matter for Creekside? Because district champs automatically qualify for the playoffs, regardless of their ranking. Creekside started the week ranked No. 8 in the region. Mosley’s win squeezes Creekside to ninth right now. Chiles is No. 7 and the Timberwolves lost to Lincoln on Friday, so they’ll likely drop, albeit not that far. That makes Creekside’s Week 11 game against a red-hot Ponte Vedra a must-win-type of game. But if Nease wins District 4-4S and Creekside can’t catch No. 6 Pace (which is poised to end on a two-game winning streak), the Knights are going to be squeezed out.
