This Florida Town Is So Cheap, You Can Live On Nothing But Social Security

There’s a town in Florida where your Social Security check doesn’t just cover the basics, it actually covers everything, and that town is Trenton. Tucked into Gilchrist County in North Central Florida, this quiet little place is doing something that most of the state has completely forgotten how to do, and that’s staying genuinely, wonderfully affordable.

Between Tampa And Gainesville Is An Archaeological Park With Native American History, Fishing, And Trails

Florida's Gulf Coast is a prime, year-round vacation escape, but its tourism hotspots tend to center on its prominent Gulf-side beaches. Inland from the Gulf, however, sits a worthy collection of outdoor attractions preserving Florida's natural, cultural, and historical treasures without any beaches involved. A superb Florida hidden gem for history and nature lovers alike is the small but extraordinary Crystal River Archaeological State Park. With the word "archaeological" in its name, you can probably guess that this park is a bit more history-minded than most Florida state parks. At the same time, this park is far from a stuffy history lecture, and you'll find top-tier inland water recreation along with its historic treasures.

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

Florida left voteless in US LBM Coaches Poll after Oklahoma loss

The losses continue to pile up for Florida football, which dropped its second straight game in Week 10 — a 23-7 defeat at the hands of the visiting Oklahoma Sooners. Now 5-4 overall and 3-4 in SEC play, the Gators are simply playing for a chance to earn a bowl berth at this point. Following the humiliating defeat in the Swamp, Sumrall's squad is now voteless in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after holding the de facto No. 27 ranking with 81 points last week . The last time the Gators were left off the coaches' ballot was in the final edition of the 2025 poll. The SEC's representation among the top 25 remains at eight schools after the demotion of Missouri and the ascension of South Carolina into the mix. Georgia returns to the No. 1 spot in the nation and still headlines the conference, followed by Alabama (No. 7), Texas (No. 8), Tennessee (No. 9), Kentucky (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 17), LSU (No. 22), and South Carolina (No. 24). Missouri is now the de facto No. 27 team in the rankings with 147 points, while Oklahoma clawed back a pair of votes after its road win.
