Mike RidaughtIn case you missed it on Wednesday, Oct. 25, Mike Ridaught joined Jeff Cardozo, Pat Dooley & Zach Alboverdi on “The Tailgate” on WRUF-98.1 FM & 850 AM at 4 p.m to talk high school sports. Here are the things they discussed on ThePrepZone.com Sports Report Presented by SunState Federal Credit Union:

The new FHSAA football points standings came out yesterday. There’s only two weeks left in the regular season, but if the season ended today, how many Alachua County football teams would make the postseason?

Four. Gainesville, St. Francis Catholic Academy and Newberry would get in based on the points system. GHS will likely finish second in their district, and even though they won’t get in as a district runner-up, their body of work is enough to get them in assuming they can finish strong. The challenge for the Hurricanes is that they will play three games in nine days. One of those is a Hurricane Irma make-good game on Monday night.

St. Francis Catholic is still undefeated. Right now the Wolves are third in 2A-Region 2. The top four teams in their region will get in. St. Francis plays at Quincy Munroe on Friday, which they will win. Then they play for the North Florida Football Conference championship. The Wolves are 7-0, off to their best start in school history, they have a 36-0 win over their rival Oak Hall, and could get the best of both worlds with a conference championship and an FHSAA playoff berth. It’s been a great year for St. Francis.

Newberry, which moved up from 1A to Class 3A has benefited from both a tough schedule and a weak region. It might sound strange but even with a 3-5 record and losers of three of the last four games they would still be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Their losses have been to Madison County, the No. 1 team in the state in 1A, Dixie County, which is ranked 4th in 1A, Union County, which was ranked at the time in 1A, at Taylor County last week, which I thought would actually drop them outside that top four, and also 5A Eastside. They do have a nice win against Trenton, which is likely in the 4A playoffs, but the only problem is that the other four teams in their region behind them all have losing records. Keep in mind, Newberry has a losing record, and I’m not sure they are that far ahead that they could afford a loss to Fort White this week.

And the fourth Alachua County football team that would be in the playoffs if the season ended today would be Buchholz, and I know we’ll talk about them here in just a few minutes, but they actually have a chance to get in as district champions.Sunstate Logo

• South Lake (Groveland) at Gainesville (Thursday) – It’s Senior Night for the Hurricanes even though they have one more home game left. This coming Monday night, GHS will face Lake Weir (Ocala) at Citizen’s Field in a district game. Then, the ‘Canes have Eastside next Friday night, so Gainesville will play three games in nine days. Even though GHS won’t win their district, that title belongs to state-ranked Vanguard (Ocala), right now they have enough points to get in as an at-large team. If they win out, they’re in for sure. Last week, Gainesville went on the road and beat Leesburg, 49-14, to spoil their Homecoming. Gainesville scored on six straight possessions in the first half. They also kept their opponents’ star quarterback, Wyatt Rector, in check. Rector is a Virginia commit who the previous week threw for a county-record 592 yards against South Lake.  GHS held him to just 36 yards passing. He still got his yards on the ground with 104 yards on 14 carries, but a good job defensively by the ‘Canes. We’ll see if Luke Matthews can come anywhere close to those yards passing on Thursday night. I think all three are winnable games, but Eastside may be facing a must-win game next week against GHS too so we’ll see how it plays out. Typically, this would be the last week of the season that has the most meaning because we are wrapping up the district schedule and non-district games, usually rivalry type games, are played the final week of the regular season. Now, based on the new points system, games in the final week of the season have way more meaning. We’ll have ‘live’ video of Gainesville’s game tomorrow night online at ThePrepZone.com.

• Bartram Trail (St. Johns) at Buchholz – This game is for the Class 7A-District 3 title. Bartram Trail is undefeated in the district. They are also ranked top 10 in the state despite their three losses – two of which were to, defending 4A state champion Cocoa on the road, and at St. Augustine, their rival who they’ve never beaten, but it doesn’t hurt that St. Augustine is still undefeated and ranked 6th in the state in Class 6A. The Bears opened with a loss at nationally-ranked Cartersville (GA) to begin the season. They also have a win at Mainland (Daytona Beach). So, at 5-3, they are better than their record indicates. They’re led by their quarterback Joey Gatewood, who is a 4-start Auburn commit. He’s 6-4, 225. He has split time at QB with Riley Smith just because Gatewood can beat you in so many other ways – at receiver, at running back, kick returner. Gatewood will be a college quarterback. It’s just a unique situation there with another good QB in Smith. Their numbers are actually comparable and they’ve combined for 16 TD passes and only five interceptions.

For Buchholz, they kept their postseason hopes alive with a big district win at Oakleaf (Orange Park) last week, winning in overtime on a kick by junior Jack Weiss. That improved Buchholz to 4-4 overall, but 2-1 in the district, so an upset win on Friday would give the Bobcats their 3rd straight district title. It’s also Senior Night for the Bobcats. Plus, if they lose, they still might get in because as of today they are in as an at-large but win and you’re in and I’m sure after losing his QB this season and 35 seniors from last year’s team, that head coach Mark Whittemore has to be happy with his situation since he’s in going into Friday night with a chance to win the title.  We’ll have ‘live’ audio coverage of the game online at ThePrepZone.com with WRUF’s own Jake Winderman calling the action.

divine power wearAfter another convincing win, Vanguard (Ocala) barely holds off St. Augustine for top spot in regional rankings

GAINESVILLE — Another dominating district win keeps Vanguard (Ocala) on top of The Prep Zone Football Power for the third straight week.

But not by much.

The Knights improved to 7-0 and clinched the District 5-6A title with their fifth shutout of the season in seven games, 42-0 over Lake Weir (Candler). The win earned Vanguard five of the eight first-place votes and keeps them on top of the poll for another week.

But lurking one point back is #2 St. Augustine, which received the other three first place votes.

The Yellow Jackets (7-0) also wrapped up the District 4-6A championship with a tough 35-23 triumph at rival Nease (Ponte Vedra). The district title is the 16th in 18 years for St. Augustine.Vanguard Knights

Remaining third this week is Madison County. The Cowboys (8-0), also ranked #1 in 1A by the Associated Press, easily won the battle of unbeatens 37-14 over then-#10 University Christian (Jacksonville), which was ranked #1 in 2A by the AP. The Christians (7-1) dropped to 13th in the regional poll with the loss.

Staying fourth is Robert E. Lee (Jacksonville). The Generals (7-1) romped at rival Andrew Jackson (Jacksonville) 69-0 in a non-district game, but can wrap up the District 2-7A title with a win this week at The Backyard against Fletcher (Neptune Beach).

Moving back into the top five this week is #5 Raines (Jacksonville).

The Vikings (7-1) hit the road to Tallahassee and won their 7th straight game, 35-0, at Rickards. Raines’ only loss to this point was in their opening game at Lee.

Trinity Christian (Jacksonville) leads off the second five.

The Conquerors (6-3) knocked off Ponte Vedra 21-3 to move closer to a postseason berth. Trinity Christian hosts RV Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville) this week to close out District 4-5A play in a game that has postseason implications for both teams.

Moving up one spot to 7th is Flagler Palm Coast. The Bulldogs (8-0) remained unbeaten with a 38-16 triumph over DeLand, which also clinched the District 1-8A title.

Dropping three spaces to 8th is Bartram Trail (St. Johns).

The Bears (5-3) brutal schedule continued last week, as they lost 38-21 at home to defending state champion and top-ranked team in 4A, Cocoa. Despite the loss, Bartram Trail remains in excellent position for the playoffs and can wrap up the District 3-7A championship with a win this week against Buchholz (Gainesville).

Rounding out the top 10 are two teams tied for 9th, Dunnellon and Bolles (Jacksonville).

The Tigers (6-1) were off last week and travel to West Port (Ocala) this Friday, while the Bulldogs (7-1) rolled past Terry Parker (Jacksonville), 48-14, and can clinch the District 4-5A title with a win this week at home against Ponte Vedra.

Among the teams in the second 10 which wrapped up district titles last Friday include #16 Baker County (Glen St. Mary), which wrapped up the District 5-5A title with a 21-14 win at Clay (Green Cove Springs), and #17 Mainland (Daytona Beach). The Bucs (4-3) clinched the District 13-6A championship with a 65-0 romp over New Smyrna Beach.

Gainesville (5-2) moves into the rankings for the first time this season at #T-18 after a 49-14 win at Leesburg. The Hurricanes have three games in eight days coming up at Citizens Field against South Lake (Groveland), Lake Weir (Candler), and Eastside (Gainesville).

GHS replaces Clay, which was #20 a week ago but drops out after the loss to Baker County.

The Prep Zone Power Poll ranks the top 20 high school football, basketball, baseball & softball teams (regardless of FHSAA classification) across 26 counties in North Central Florida (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Citrus, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lake, Levy, Madison, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, Sumter, St. Johns, Suwannee, Taylor, Union & Volusia counties). It is voted on weekly by sportswriters and sportscasters. It is fueled by Divine Power Wear.
