Our Top 10 power rankings saw some teams move out, and some move in for the first time. We even saw one team return after a week hiatus. There were several cancellations due to Covid last week, and already 5 games have been cancelled this week. It’s going to make for an inconsistent year of play, which is sure to make for an ever changing Top 10!
- Riverside (1-0)- It’s not just the fact that they are winning games, but it’s how they are winning games. Riverside’s defense is making good teams look bad. Last week they held Bartram to 7 points. This week they held Terry Parker to 3 points at home. Gregory Washington Jr registered a sack, and several tackles for loss. Linebacker Lawrence Neolms intercepted a pass as well. The General defense is playing on a championship level right now. The offense aint too shabby either, as Daniel Plummer III tossed a touchdown pass in the game. They face fellow undefeated Atlantic Coast (1-0) Friday.
2. Trinity(1-0) – Trinity went into the Graveyard and got a big win over Raines Friday Night. It was an impressive victory as Darnell Rogers led a rushing attack that absolutely gashed the Vikings, scoring two touchdowns. That’s the formula we predicted in the game and that’s the formula Trinity will use all season which will power them to victories. Even more impressively is that is that Trinity won without their best player. Oklahoma commit Treyaun Webb did not play in the contest. Cam Miller electrified the crowd with a kickoff return for a touchdown for Trinity. They’re home for Ribault (0-1) Friday.
3. Bolles(1-0)- Kade Frew scored 4 touchdowns in the first half versus West Nassau leading Bolles to a 42-0 win over West Nassau. Bolles made short work of the overmatched Warriors defense. Like a one legged man in a butt-kicking contest, West Nassau never had a chance in the Bold City Showcase. They have a big time matchup with Columbia(1-0) this week.
4. Bartram Trail-(1-0) Eric Weatherly vs Rickards, 80 yard rushing TD from the running back position, 20 yard rushing TD from QB position running flexbone triple option. 2 touchdowns total, 150+ yards rushing, 65 yards kick return. 200 all purpose yards . In a tough game versus a tough opponent on the road, after a tough week where the team laid to rest an assistant Coach in Coach Kirk, Eric Weatherly carried them to victory. It’s why he’s special! Bartram faces a tough opponent in Columbus (1-0) this week.
5. Baker County(1-0) – The Wildcats found themselves in a struggle early on, but pulled away late from Bradford County. Cam Smith had GREAT game on the Ground with 2 Rushing TD’s. De’ Heaven Clark played lights out had 2 Interceptions, as Baker improved to 1-0. They face Viera (1-0) on Friday.

White’s game versus Westside was cancelled due to covid protocol. The school was shut down for a week due to the precautions.
