Eastside Football Can’t Stop Bradford
A standoff set the tone for a physical, spiteful and unsportsmanlike calls on a muggy Friday night at Citizens Field. The high school football teams stood 10 toes down on their respective corners of the field, neither willing to take it first.

Gainesville-area Week 7 Florida high school football final scores
Week 7 of the Florida high school football season in the Gainesville area is officially here! The week begins with the most anticipated game of the season...the renewal of the War on I-75. Buchholz and Santa Fe helped hype up a game that frankly didn't need it with undefeated records. The Bobcats and Raiders both have explosive offenses, and once the ball kicks off Thursday night in Alachua, fireworks are not just expected but a guarantee. Friday sees a break from district play once again. Rural SSAA rivalries dictate the slate with the battle of Gilchrist County between Bell and Trenton, and Chiefland heads to Dixie County. Columbia faces another tough road game at Manatee and Florida football legend Jacquez Green, and Bradford and Eastside renew their one-sided "rivalry."

UF, FSU join Early Decision trend
Seniors applying to colleges this year will likely find themselves with one more admissions option than usual: Early Decision (ED). The two colleges in Florida that receive the most applications, the University of Florida and Florida State University, have both added this admission plan to their application for the Fall 2027 application cycle. This plan, an increasingly popular application option for universities around the nation, stipulates that students may only apply to one school with ED, and, if admitted, must attend and rescind all applications to other colleges. (ED is not a legally binding contract, but breaking the agreement can carry consequences like blacklisting.) Applicants must complete applications earlier than they would in Regular Decision (RD), often in November, but receive an earlier decision.
