Union County stampede: Fightin' Tigers win latest SSAA road upset

(This story has been updated to add new information and to correct a name spelling.) For Robby Pruitt , the head coaching journey of a lifetime began in Jacksonville 42 years ago. More than four decades on, he's winning postseason games on the First Coast again, steering the stampede for Union County in a 28-21 upset of Paxon in the Sunshine State Athletic Association Atlantic League North semifinal on Nov. 6. They've got eighth-graders in the lineup, even seventh-grader Ethan Williams. They field barely a dozen combined juniors and seniors, some of them injured. Now, Union County (7-5) is off to round three at No. 1 seed West Nassau on Nov. 13. "I tell you, it's great winning a game like this with a bunch of young kids," Pruitt said. Playing in the same city where he landed his first head coaching job with University Christian in 1984, on his way to the unprecedented feat of 200-win careers in both Florida and Georgia, he's still going strong in the first year of his second Union County stint. And so is his team. Watch Florida high school sports live on NFHS Network Got a great play? How to submit your high

Kickoff time for Florida's Week 11 showdown at Kentucky revealed

Start time for Florida football's Week 11 showdown with Kentucky in Lexington was announced by the SEC on Sunday morning. Kickoff is set for 6:15 p.m. ET in what will be the final late game of the Gators' 2026 regular-season schedule. The gridiron action will be broadcast on ESPN. Florida enters the matchup with a 5-4 overall record and a 3-4 mark in conference play after its 23-7 loss to Oklahoma at home on Saturday. Kentucky, on the other hand, is 7-2 (5-2 SEC) heading into the 11th week of the college football slate, but is also coming off a defeat of their own — a 34-6 beatdown by Tennessee in Knoxville this past weekend. The Gators hold a commanding lead in the all-time series, with a 55-22 record against the Wildcats dating back to 1917, plus a 22-13 mark in Lexington. However, UK won the battle at Kroger Field last year, 38-7, and has prevailed in four of the last five meetings with UF.
