King delivered one of the week’s biggest upsets, beating No. 22 North Shore 42-21 in a Houston showdown. Elsewhere, top-ranked teams continued strong runs: No. 13 North Crowley scored 75 points, No. 24 Edna Karr extended its winning streak to 35 games, and No. 6 Columbus secured a place in Florida’s inaugural Open Division playoffs.

By the Numbers
  • King 42, No. 22 North Shore 21.
  • No. 13 North Crowley beat Skyline 75-3 and improved to 8-0.
  • No. 24 Edna Karr won 48-14 for its 35th consecutive victory.
  • No. 6 Columbus beat Northwestern 30-7 to clinch an Open Division playoff spot.
Yes, But

North Shore’s loss stands out in a week when several highly ranked teams won decisively. Rankings and winning streaks may not guarantee a smooth finish: Hamilton’s unbeaten record faces a major test against Liberty, while Mater Dei meets schedule-tested Orange Lutheran.

State of Play
  • North Crowley and Chaminade-Madonna both won big Thursday; Chaminade-Madonna beat Cardinal Gibbons 41-6.
  • Prattville shut out Vestavia Hills 13-0, with Kolby King returning an interception for a touchdown.
  • Edna Karr’s next game is a Halloween rematch with St. Augustine, last year’s Division I Select state championship opponent.
What's Next

Friday’s slate features No. 19 Mater Dei against Orange Lutheran and No. 15 Hamilton against Liberty. Chaminade-Madonna can clinch a Florida Open Division playoff berth with a win next week at Coconut Creek; Edna Karr faces its title-game rematch on Halloween.

Bottom Line

King’s win reshuffled the week’s headlines, while playoff positioning and major tests now define the race ahead for several top programs.
