Well, the high school football regular season — at least down here in Florida — has come to a close.

That's right. Feels like we were just reigniting the stadium lights for the first time in August, and now we're off to the postseason. Time flies when you're having fun!

For anyone paying attention, you know this has been my Saturday routine for two months now.

FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME ERUPTS INTO VIOLENT BRAWL INVOLVING PLAYERS, COACHES AFTER FINAL WHISTLE

I've taken it upon myself here at OutKick to highlight at least one high school football play/ player/ story each and every weekend during the season. These guys are all about to be millionaires with the silly NIL rules, so we might as well get ahead of the curve and start identifying them early.

So far this year, we've seen a wild Hail Mary in Florida, an entire California team get suspended because the mascot shot the bird to some fans, a giant running back in Kentucky smashing heads, and perhaps the best running back in the nation out of Tennessee.

It's been quite a ride. I love Friday night lights — both the TV series and the actual game itself. Nothing beats high school football. In a world of NIL deals, it's the last pure form of amateur athletics left.

MENACING HIGH SCHOOL RUNNING BACK EXECUTES ONE OF THE MOST PUNISHING KICKOFF BLOCKS YOU WILL EVER WITNESS

Now, on the note, let's head out to Illinois, where two teams scored so many points in last night's playoff game, they had to move stadiums in the fourth quarter because of darkness.

True story:

This is why we play the game!

Amazing. Goodness gracious, you're just not getting that sort of content at the college or pro level.

Well, scratch that, we used to get it once a week back in the "Pac-12 After Dark" days, but the NCAA took that from us. Crooks!

Anyway, back to this offensive explosion ... take a look at that box score! Take a look at these final stats, courtesy of Don O'Brien, who's head I imagine was SPINNING covering this game last night:

Chicago Goode's Aedan Cleveland finished with 322 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Those are Derrick Henry numbers back when he broke hearts at Yulee High School down here in Florida.

Not to be outdone, Quincy signal-caller Bryson Little threw for 675 yards a state single-game record eight touchdown passes. He rushed for two more just for good measure.

There were, unofficially (because most stats in high school football are) over 1,400 yards of total offense between these two teams, which were originally scheduled to play on Saturday. The game was moved to Friday, and kicked off at 3 p.m. at Goode's field, which doesn't have lights.

Both defenses apparently didn't get the memo, and the lights became an issue late in the game. Refs decided to hit the pause button at 88-84 with just under four minutes left, and moved the game to a venue about five miles away.

POWERHOUSE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM THROTTLES FCS TEAM SO VIOLENTLY, BOTH COACHES AGREED TO SHORTEN THE GAME

An hour later, play resumed. Shockingly, there wasn't another touchdown, and the game ended at a measly 172 total points.

What a game. What a night.

What a sport.

Cities across the country are putting teens on notice for Halloween weekend, rolling out curfews and crackdowns to head off the kind of chaos that unfolds during so-called teen takeovers.

From the Jersey Shore to suburban Atlanta, officials are setting curfews for teenagers and adding police patrols, many of them in places still reeling from takeovers that drew hundreds of teens and ended in fights and arrests.

In Oak Park, Illinois, the chief of police wrote that her agency is trying to prevent a similar Halloween teen takeover last year from happening again.

Last Halloween, an estimated 500 teens swarmed downtown Oak Park, where fights and gunshots erupted and police called in help from six neighboring agencies, according to a department memo.

Oak Park Chief of Police Shatonya Johnson said the agency will be increasing the amount of officers on shift during Halloween, as well as several more measures aimed at preventing another teen takeover.

CHICAGO MAYOR WARNS OF ‘TEEN TREND’ AFTER TAKEOVER CHAOS, VIOLENCE CONCERNS GROW

Adults in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago are taking matters into their own hands and plan to show out en masse on the streets to prevent large gatherings by teenagers. The group, called CollaBOOration, was established after a series of large Halloween gatherings from 2016 to 2019 where teen takeovers turned violent, according to Block Club Chicago.

"What we’re really trying to do is establish a critical mass on the street, possibly before the Halloween festivities even start," the group's founder Bennie Currie said. "So when these large gatherings happen, like we’ve seen every year, we will already have taken over 53rd Street … we’ll be walking up and down in orange shirts and keeping in contact with one another."

After 7 p.m. on Halloween, those under 16 in Covington, Georgia will be required to go home or have an adult with them if they're in the city's downtown area, which is outside Atlanta, according to CBS News.

According to News 12, the Long Branch, New Jersey, police department plans to strictly enforce a Halloween curfew for those under 17 on Oct. 31, which runs from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The curfew was set in response to hundreds of people gathering for a teen takeover in May, resulting in fights breaking out and six arrests.

National Police Association Spokeswoman Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith said it's a "great idea" for these cities and police departments to be more proactive on Halloween, saying teen takeovers aren't slowing down.

"On Halloween night, I can tell you from experience, our call volume goes up, you know, four or five, six times because people are calling because they're because of fireworks. They're calling because there's a fight in a schoolyard. They're calling because they can't find their kid. There's so many different things that people are calling the police for, and then you factor in this desire to have these large crowds of teenagers take over and, again, get it on social media," Smith said.
