While some teams have already claimed a district championship, a lot more teams can add to the list in Class 5A through Class 8A and lock up playoff spots for next month. Here is a look at where things stand right now in Class 6A as we head into Week 9.

Booker T. Washington (Pensacola), 2-1
Escambia, 0-2
Milton, 0-3
OUTLOOK: Things are simple here for Gulf Breeze – you win on Friday night you win the district and lock a spot up in the playoffs. However, if Pine Forest wins, they will have to wait until next week to get a win over Booker T. Washington before they can celebrate a district championship. Now if we talk about a Pine Forest win here this week, the scenarios get really interesting for Week 10.

Rickards, 1-1
Choctawhatchee, 1-2
