After falling behind early, No. 5 Bozeman football responded with a dominant offensive performance, scoring 47 unanswered points to defeat No. 4 Oak Hall 47-14 in the first round of the FHSAA Independent North B Bracket Thursday, Nov. 12. The victory marks the Bucks' first playoff win since their Final Four run in 2023 and gives first-year head coach Sean Maddox and his team another week to keep their season alive. "It's a good feeling," Maddox said. "The guys had a good week of practice and came out and executed. We're in a way better place now. The guys are still winding down a little bit. They're still wearing off all that excitement." Quarterback Hayden Gay accounted for four touchdowns. The senior threw three touchdown passes, connecting twice with receiver Rylee McNeil on scoring strikes of 25 and 35 yards. He also found receiver Jay Hentz for a 60-yard touchdown.

Noah Doubt About It: Gainesville area FHSAA region quarterfinal HS football picks

The most wonderful time of the year is here. No, I don’t mean Christmas, even though the commercials have started and the displays in stores are up (that shouldn’t start until after Thanksgiving. It’s fall, not winter). I mean the FHSAA high school football postseason. Battles have been fought, and the war is over. The pretenders are gone. Only the contenders remain. Each week, the field will dwindle. As it begins, we stand at nine teams. Many are your usual suspects. Buchholz , Hawthorne and Columbia are each top two seeds in their respective regions and dream of the deep runs we’ve seen in years past. Others, such as Fort White, Santa Fe and Bradford aren’t state title contenders per se – but they are favorites and would like to secure a playoff win. Finally, for Williston, Chiefland and Palatka, the odds are stacked against them, but you really never know what can transpire in the postseason. That won’t stop me from predicting what I think will occur. Let’s pick all these games, shall we? In the last regular season games two weeks ago, Noah Doubt About It finished with a 7-5 (0.58) record for a 130-39 (0.77) mark so

Wild Horses, Bison and Gators Share This Florida Trail Like a Safari Close to Home

A herd of bison roams free on a Florida prairie. Wild Spanish horses graze nearby, and alligators sun themselves just off an elevated boardwalk. I had to read that twice. This is the same state known for beaches and theme parks, yet here is a sweeping grassland that looks borrowed from the Great Plains.
