Columbia is on a six-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Bolles is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Tigers will host the Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Bolles' offense is going to have their work cut out for them on Friday: Columbia hadn't allowed a single point the last three times they've hit the field. The Tigers never let Clay get on the board and left with a 21-0 win on Friday. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while the Blue Devils are ranked 283rd) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Among those leading the charge was Drew Simmons, who rushed for 56 yards and two TDs.
Meanwhile, Bolles humbled Wolfson with a 56-6 victory. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 49-0.
Bolles' win came from a few key players Columbia will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Xander Edwards, who rushed for 60 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He has been hot, having also posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last seven times he's played. Camden Tietze was another key player, picking up 100 receiving yards and two scores.
Bolles' run defense was locked in: Wolfson could only muster three yards per carry. The team can thank Christian Hayes for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bolles didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 9.4.
Bolles' defense didn't let Sam Tousey, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, Asher Ghioto was the leader with two.
Bolles' victory bumped their record up to 8-1. As for Columbia, their win bumped their record up to an identical 8-1.
Columbia might still be hurting after the 42-17 loss they got from Bolles when the teams last played back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Tigers, Tyrone Neal (who rushed for 151 yards and three TDs) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
