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

ESPN predicts FSU's remaining schedule after Week 10

Florida State 's postseason hopes received a much-needed boost Saturday, and ESPN's latest Matchup Predictor is beginning to reflect the Seminoles' changing outlook. Following a 31-24 comeback victory over Boston College in interim head coach Rick Stockstill's debut, Florida State improved to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in ACC play. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and kept the Seminoles within striking distance of bowl eligibility. With three games remaining, Florida State needs two victories to reach the six-win threshold. However, ESPN's latest projections favor the Seminoles in just one of those matchups. The outlook has improved since last week's update, with Florida State gaining ground against the NC State Wolfpack and rival Florida Gators while its chances against the Pittsburgh Panthers remain unchanged. Here's how ESPN projects the Seminoles' final three regular-season games. Nov. 13 at Pittsburgh Projected Winner: Pittsburgh FSU win probability: 38.0% Projected FSU record: 4-6 Florida State's first victory under Stockstill did little to change ESPN's expectations for Friday night's trip to Pittsburgh. The Panthers (6-3) remain favorites despite entering the matchup following a bye week. Pittsburgh has been particularly difficult to beat at Acrisure Stadium, compiling a 5-1 home record this season. Nov. 21 vs.
