No. 24 Edna Karr extended its winning streak to 35 games with a 48-14 win over Chalmette. Other Top 25 teams also made statements: No. 13 North Crowley improved to 8-0 with a 75-3 victory, while No. 18 Chaminade-Madonna won 41-6. This week’s slate features key tests for undefeated No. 15 Hamilton and playoff hopeful No. 6 Columbus.

By the Numbers
  • Edna Karr: 35 straight wins; beat Chalmette 48-14.
  • Tre Garrison: 41 carries, 183 yards and 1 touchdown.
  • North Crowley: 8-0 after a 75-3 win; averaging 47.7 points per game.
  • Hamilton: 7-0; Columbus needs a win to secure a place in Florida’s inaugural FHSAA Open Division playoff bracket.
  • North Shore: 10-0 against King since 2016, with every win by double digits.
Yes, But

Edna Karr’s streak faces a major test next week in a rematch with St. Augustine, which lost to the Cougars in last year’s Division I Select state championship. Hamilton is undefeated, but Liberty enters on a three-game winning streak and has already scored a notable win over Corner Canyon.

State of Play
  • Mater Dei has won two straight after back-to-back losses and faces Orange Lutheran, which is seeking its first win over the Monarchs since 2011.
  • Columbus faces Northwestern after beating Central 28-3 for the GMAC championship.
  • Prattville, a new addition to the Top 25, meets Vestavia Hills after edging Thompson 28-27.
  • North Shore faces King, which has won five straight.
  • Chaminade-Madonna closes its regular season next Friday; a win would clinch an FHSAA Open Division playoff spot.
What’s Next

Friday’s marquee matchups include Mater Dei vs. Orange Lutheran, Hamilton at Liberty, Columbus at Northwestern and North Shore vs. King. Edna Karr’s showdown with St. Augustine is set for Halloween.

Bottom Line

Edna Karr remains the headline, but the next round will test several contenders’ unbeaten records and playoff ambitions.
