- September 2 is Zedrick Woods of the Columbia (Lake City) football team. The junior outside linebacker led the Tigers (2-0) with four sacks and 13 tackles, including two tackles for a loss, as Columbia defeated last year’s 7A state runners-up, Lincoln, on the road in Tallahassee. Woods helped his defense step it up, after all-state strong safety Trey Marshall went down with an injury, by keeping the Lincoln offense out of the end zone for the final three quarters in the 28-14 win.
