Top Games
No. 10 Lincoln (1-3) at No. 2 Rickards (3-1): Lincoln picked up its first win of the season stunning Manatee on the road, with a week off the Trojans will be well prepared. Rickards dropped their first game of the season all the way out in Arkansas and can take a huge step getting a lot of respect with a win over a struggling Lincoln team.
Madison County (1-3, 0-0) at Bell (2-2, 0-0): Could Madison be turning the corner finally? The Cowboys held off Florida High in a low scoring game and now turn their attention to the District 5-1A opener for both teams. A loss here would be devastating for the Cowboys playoff hopes, a win puts them in great position.
Providence (1-2) at North Florida Christian (3-2): Depending on which Providence team shows up this could be a shootout or shutout. Against a 7A Fletcher team, Providence was on the wrong side of a shootout losing 43-42, a week after dropping a 75-0 loss to top ranked University Christian, yet last week routed 7A Creekside 42-7. The key for NFC is scoring 27 points, the Eagles are 3-0 when they score 27 or more points.
