Noah Doubt About It: Week 11 Gainesville high school football picks

Welcome to the final regular season edition of Noah Doubt About It. Last week , Noah Doubt About It finished with a 15-3 (0.83) record for a 123-34 (0.78) mark in the 2026 season. Good luck to all in this Week 11! Buchholz (9-0) at Jacksonville-Bolles (6-2) Buchholz’s test finally comes this Friday in the form of a visit to Bolles. The Bulldogs are good. Xander Edwards is one of the best running backs in the Class of 2028, as is Jaxon Flowers at safety. However, Bolles have faced only three quality teams this season – and lost to two of them. Buchholz is ready for this fight, and their D-Line can shut down Edwards and an at-times suspect Bulldogs defense. Prediction : Buchholz 24, Bolles 21 Dunnellon (8-0) at Hawthorne (9-0) It’s a battle of unbeatens with vastly different resumes in eastern Alachua County. Hawthorne has defeated Bishop Moore, Miami Northwestern, Wakulla and Newberry. The Tigers wins are not nearly as impressive, but back to back victories over Santa Fe and Niceville aren’t bad. However, their resume just isn’t on par with the Hornets, whose defense will styme Dunnellon. Prediction : Hawthorne 23, Dunnellon 6 Madison County (5-4) at

Week 10 Ocala-area high school football final scores, rewind, photos from Dunnellon

With two weeks left in the Florida high school football regular season, much remained at stake for the top teams in Marion County. As we exit Week 10 on Friday, Oct. 23, several questions got answers. First up was the fate of the Class 4A-District 5 title, which came down to the game at Vanguard between the Knights and Lake Weir. The Hurricanes have been a revelation, starting 8-0 and allowing a touchdown or less in five of those games. Vanguard, however, proved to be the toughest team Lake Weir has faced in 2026. Vanguard rolled to take the district title and playoff spot that comes with it. While Forest is off this week, the Wildcats needed a Vanguard win. They need all the schedule boosts they can get as they fight for an at-large berth to the 5A playoffs. Even with an 8-1 record, it's a climb for Forest, which was 27th among teams in its class via MaxPreps rankings, and sixth among potential at-large teams in its region. A lot will be decided by what shakes out in District 2, which has Mandarin, Neas, Ponte Vedra, Fletcher and Bartram Trail all in the 5A top 20. In short,

Noah Doubt About It: Week 10 Gainesville high school football picks

Two years ago, under cold and rainy skies from Citizens Field, Buchholz and Oakleaf played a classic. The Bobcats , which were a rare No. 2 seed in Class 6A-Region 1, earned a chance to host after the fifth-seeded Knights upset Nease. However, Oakleaf didn’t play like a five seed and gave BHS just about everything it could handle. However, the ‘Cats did what the Cats always seem to do in the postseason and found a way – thanks in part to a dramatic Elijah Daniels fumble return touchdown. Friday, the two meet again at Citizens Field . It’s a regular season game this time, but a district title is still on the line. Will similar drama occur? We’re about to find out. Let’s pick that game and the entire Week 10 slate! Last week , Noah Doubt About It finished with a 11-3 (0.79) record for a 108-31 (0.78) mark in the 2026 season. Good luck to all! Orange Park-Oakleaf (4-4, 2-1) at Buchholz (8-0, 3-0) – Class 5A District 3 This game lost some of its intrigue when the Knights were upset by Forest a week and a half ago. That alone gave Buchholz a share of the
