Welcome to Week 5 of the Florida high school football season in the Gainesville area.
The schedule might not be as loaded as last week, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have solid games. After a week off, Citizens Field is back in operation — Buchholz is home for the fourth time this season.
The Bobcats welcome in an out-of-state foe in Richmond Hill from outside the Savannah area. The Wildcats defeated the ‘Cats last season 35-28 in the Peach State thanks to 462 rush yards.
In Starke, Eastside and Bradford renew a “rivalry.” The reason for quotations is four times from 2022-2023, the Tornadoes beat the Rams by a combined score of 127-14. Yet, EHS is confident this year is different.
Keep it here Friday night for scores across the Gainesville-area, and be sure to follow Gainesville Sun Preps Reporter Noah Ram on Twitter (@noah_ram1) and Instagram (@ramreporter) for updates, videos, polls and more. He’ll be at Citizens Field Friday night for the best game in the county for Richmond Hill’s trip down from Georgia to Gainesville and Buchholz.
