To top that off, both teams had big postseason goals in mind.
Jay’s football team made its Homecoming game a memorable one, crushing Blacksher with a resounding 50-22 victory Friday night.

Hard to believe it’s the final week of the regular season. And it’s Halloween.
Oh, and in case you haven’t noticed, there is still a lot on the line for teams heading into tonight’s action.
Gianna Dettling’s impressive freshman season continued on Monday at the District 1-3A tournament, and her score of 78 helped lead Pace to a regional tourney berth.
Pace’s boys golf team saw its streak of seven consecutive district championships end Monday afternoon.
But the Patriots are still going to the regional tournament, and in the end, that matters the most.
Jay’s volleyball players watched through their tear-filled eyes as Chipley celebrated the Rural Region 1 championship.
No words can provide comfort in that moment. Not when the Royals expected to be the team punching a ticket to the FHSAA state final four.
Pace, Milton, Crestview and Baker are all in the postseason if it started today based on the latest FHSAA regional football rankings. And Jay is within striking distance of a playoff spot.
