Kings of the County again: Jensen Beach crushes Martin County 42-0

JENSEN BEACH — The Jensen Beach High School football team chanted "Jensen County" in unison after the game while gathered on a wet and muddy field at the Birdcage. For the previous two years, the Falcons walked off the field after their regular-season finale having to accept the bitter taste of defeat against their biggest rival.

But thanks to an explosive midgame stretch, Jensen Beach can once again call itself the king of the county. The Falcons erupted for 35 points in less than a 12-minute span en route to demolishing the Tigers 42-0 and regaining the Fergie Ferguson Trophy on Friday night at Jensen Beach High School. Watch the best high school football games in Florida Coupled with an early-season victory over South Fork, Jensen Beach defeated its county rivals by a combined margin of 65-3.

Muck Bowl history: Pahokee-Glades Central rivalry through the years

The Muck Bowl returns to Belle Glade on Friday in the latest edition of one of Florida's premier high school football rivalries. Pahokee (5-3) travels to face Glades Central (3-5) at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 30 at Effie C. Grear Stadium. The Raiders have won the last two meetings, though the rivalry is deadlocked this decade with three victories apiece. It has been 56 years since Pahokee and Glades Central met in the first modern edition of the rivalry. Founded during school integration in 1970, Glades Central owns a 35-22 advantage in the series. Pahokee, however, has enjoyed much of the rivalry's postseason success in the 21st century , capturing multiple state championships during one of the most successful stretches in Florida high school football history. Although "Muck Bowl" did not enter The Palm Beach Post's lexicon until 1983, the rivalry was already well established by then. The game's traveling trophy lists 1980 as the rivalry's founding year, but the history between the communities extends much further, tracing back to World War II and the earliest days of organized football in the Glades. Before Pahokee and Glades Central meet again Friday night, here's a look at how the Muck's signature football
