Streaks, Trends, Notables

• The 26th meeting between Clay and Orange Park lived up to all the hype as Clay, which led 35-6 at one point, held on for a 35-27 win at CB Bowles Stadium. The win was the Devils seventh straight win in the series 12th out of the last 16 meetings, as the Devils maintained their lead at 15-11.
• Despite the close proximity to each other, Ribault continues to dominate its neighboring rival Paxon after a 38-0 win at Paxon. The Trojans have won eight in a row in the series since the rivalry resumed in 1999 and have outscored the Eagles 260-27 over the last seven games, including posting shutouts the last two years.
