Then the PHS Tigers would score on its next two possessions and never trailed again as they defeated the Dolphins 28-7 on Senior Night at Dolphin Stadium. More ... Last week's regional quarterfinal loss at Wakulla does prompt a quick history lesson. Late in game five, coach Waynn Sellers called a timeout, when GBHS didn't have one left. The result gave Wakulla the win 18-16 in the decisive game. More ... The Gulf Breeze Dolphins and Navarre Raiders, although they're big rivals, have more in common than they'd care to discuss. First off, both of their seasons have been long - the Dolphins are 1-8, while the Raiders are 2-7. Second - despite their records, both teams could have earned spots in three-way shootouts for second with wins last week and some 'help. More ...

Florida High (81), Arnold (101), Tallahassee Godby (140) and Catholic (149) also qualified for Saturday's regional meet in Jacksonville. More ... Bruce Savage is reaching a milestone this year, entering his 10th season as the Dolphins' boys soccer coach. He hopes to celebrate it with the school's first state championship. More ... The GBHS Lady Dolphin soccer team dominated in shots and field position, but only found the back of the net three times in a 3-2 win over PHS in their season opener Nov. 5 at Brosnaham Park. GBHS set the tone early with Aubrey Curington and Jessica Majewski shooting shots over the top in the first five minutes. More ... The Gulf Breeze Blue Mini Mites needed overtime to beat Ensley Gold in the regular season. They didn't need it Saturday. The Dolphins (8-1) scored touchdowns in the first and third quarters as they shut out the Chiefs 16-0 in the opening round of the Gulf Coast Youth Football Alliance playoffs Saturday at Legion Field in Pensacola. More ... It was, at first, unchartered territory for the Lady Dolphin volleyball team, but in the end, it was a storyline they were all too familiar with. Playing in their first five-set match of the season, Gulf Breeze had a pair of match points, but Wakulla would fight them off, winning a 23-25, 20- 25, 25-19, 25-10, 18-16 decision in bizarre fashion. More ... Who: Gulf Breeze Dolphins (1-8) vs. Navarre Raiders (2- When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, 2008 Where: Russell Stadium, Navarre The head coaches The Raiders lost to Crestview 14-7 last week.

Coastal Division Last week Virginia Tech 23, Maryland 13 North Carolina 28, Georgia Tech 7 Florida State 41, Clemson 27 N.C. More ... East Division Div. West Division *Clinched Division Title Last Week Georgia 42, Kentucky 38 South Carolina 34, Arkansas 21 Tennessee 13, Wyoming 7 Auburn 37, Tennessee-Martin 20 Alabama 27, LSU 21 (OT) Florida 42, More ... The regular season began, and will end in the Georgia Dome as Bama clinched the West Division title and a TM spot in the SEC title game by defeating LSU. The next order of business: Don't lose to MSU, as they have the past two seasons, and eliminate any chance of a national title. I don't expect the Bulldogs to stay on the field with this year's Crimson Tide. More ... The losing streak is finally over, but in order for the season to end with a sense of success, the ® Tigers must win one of their final two games to become bowl-eligible. Unfortunately, those two games are both against Top Ten opponents - #10 Georgia and #1 Alabama. The UGA game is probably Auburn's best chance to accomplish that goal. More ... The Gators are in the SEC Championship Game and are ® poised to make a push for a national championship appearance if all works out in their favor. They moved up to #4 in the latest BCS Poll, which is exactly where they were ranked in Week 11 of 2006. From the looks of things, all the Gators need to do is win out and they'll be in the title game. More ... The checklist of things to accomplish for the 2008 season has shortened considerably. Previous items included: Win East Division [X], Win SEC Title [X], Play for National Title [X]. All of the lofty goals for the preseason #1 team have been x-ed off the list leaving a few, less-gaudy accomplishments for the taking. One is beating conference rival Auburn. More ... Losing to Alabama was bad. Losing in overtime was worse. Being eliminated from SEC title contention threw salt in the wound. But seeing their old coach exit Tiger Stadium victorious, with all of the goals LSU hoped to accomplish this season in his pocket had to hurt more than anything else. Don't blame Saban. The problem is the man taking the snaps. More ... A win over Clemson was huge for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, it kept the Noles' ACC title ® hopes alive. It also removed the monkey off their backs; FSU has defeated Clemson only twice in the past six years. This team could've easily lost its edge after falling to Georgia Tech, but the Clemson game shows they have character. More ... The Canes had two weeks to prepare for a huge game tonight against Virginia Tech. This rivalry traveled from the Big East to the ACC Coastal Division, and is once again carrying conference title implications. The loser is firmly out of the race for the Coastal Division. More ... Where is Kevin Smith when you need him? UCF has now lost four straight and seven of its last eight. The offense managed only six points and 208 total yards against a USM defense that ranks among the bottom half of Division I teams. The Knights have barely eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark through nine games; Smith had over 2,000 himself last year. More ... If the Bulls have any fight in them, expect to see a complete performance this Saturday against Rutgers. USF is coming off an embarrassing blowout on national television and the Scarlet Knights are the team that handed the Bulls their first loss in 2007 and knocked them out of their #2 ranking. More ... The Eagles have won two-in-a-row and two more will make them bowl-eligible. That's amazing, considering they had a five-game losing streak just a couple of weeks ago. Finishing the season strong will definitely increase the amount of support for and confidence in firstyear coach Larry Fedora, who didn't have much of either a short time ago. More ... |
