Jacksonville and St. Augustine High School Football: Where Every Team Stands, and the Games to Watch Friday

Three Northeast Florida high school football teams are still unbeaten heading into the last stretch of the regular season: Episcopal (9-0), Raines (8-0) and St. Augustine (8-0).

Friday, Oct. 23, brings some of the biggest district games of the year. Two teams that haven't lost a district game meet at Andrew Jackson. Mandarin, the 5A District 2 leader, hosts Bartram Trail, and all six teams in that district play each other Friday.

Here's where all 32 Duval and St. Johns County teams stand, as of Oct. 19, and the games worth watching Friday night.

The unbeatens

Episcopal School of Jacksonville, 9-0. The Eagles have outscored opponents 422-88, an average of about 47 points a game to 10. They host Fernandina Beach on Friday.

Raines, 8-0. The Vikings lead 3A District 3 at 2-0 and have allowed just 74 points all season, the fewest of any Duval team. They travel to Cocoa on Friday.

St. Augustine, 8-0. The Yellow Jackets lead 4A District 4 at 4-0. They've outscored opponents 327-77 and host Fleming Island on Friday.

Friday's games to watch

Bolles (5-2) at Andrew Jackson (7-1), 6:30 p.m. This is the big one in 2A District 3. Both teams are 2-0 in the district, so the winner takes control of the race. Andrew Jackson has outscored opponents 255-92. Bolles has outscored opponents 262-101.

Bartram Trail (6-2) at Mandarin (7-1), 6:30 p.m. Mandarin leads 5A District 2 at 4-0. Bartram Trail, 2-2 in the district, can shake up the standings with a win on the road.

Ponte Vedra (3-5) at Nease (5-3), 7 p.m. A St. Johns County rivalry and a 5A District 2 game. Nease is 3-1 in the district, second behind Mandarin.

Duval County

St. Johns County

Three district races to watch

5A District 2 is a Duval vs. St. Johns battle. Mandarin (4-0) leads, followed by Nease (3-1). Bartram Trail and Ponte Vedra are both 2-2, then Fletcher (1-3) and Beachside (0-4). All six play each other Friday: Bartram Trail at Mandarin, Ponte Vedra at Nease and Beachside at Fletcher. If Bartram Trail and Ponte Vedra both win, Mandarin would sit at 4-1 with Nease, Bartram Trail and Ponte Vedra all one game back at 3-2.

6A District 1 runs through St. Johns County. Creekside (4-0) and Tocoi Creek (3-1) sit on top. Sandalwood (2-2) is the best Duval team in the district, and it plays at Tocoi Creek Friday. A Sandalwood win would pull it even with Tocoi Creek at 3-2.

2A District 3 comes down to Friday. Andrew Jackson and Bolles are both 2-0. Friday's winner has the inside track.

The best teams by point differential

A team's record tells you whether it wins. Point differential, points scored minus points allowed, tells you by how much. Here are the top 10 across Duval and St. Johns counties:

A few things stand out:

• The three unbeatens are also the three most dominant teams. Episcopal, St. Augustine and Raines each allow fewer than 10 points a game.
• Raines has the stingiest defense in either county, at 9.3 points allowed per game, just ahead of St. Augustine (9.6) and Episcopal (9.8).
• University Christian is better than its 6-3 record. Its +180 differential ranks fourth, ahead of several teams with fewer losses.
• Friday's Bolles at Andrew Jackson game is as close as it looks on paper. The two teams are 6th and 7th, separated by just 2 points of differential. Bolles scores more per game (37.4 to 31.9), and Andrew Jackson allows fewer (11.5 to 14.4).
• Ed White can score with anyone. Its 37.1 points per game is fourth-best in either county, but it allows nearly 25.

By the numbers

• Best scoring offense: Episcopal, 422 points in 9 games
• Best defense in Duval: Raines, 74 points allowed in 8 games
• Best defense in St. Johns: St. Augustine, 77 points allowed in 8 games
• Teams with winning records: 10 of 23 in Duval and 4 of 9 in St. Johns
• Highest-scoring St. Johns team: St. Augustine, 327 points
• Still looking for a first win: Atlantic Coast (0-8)
