Jesuit vs Hillsborough will be a good one.

Hillsborough has improved since the home loss to Jesuit, 28-7, on September 17. However, Jesuit has been playing on a different level. The only team that really challenged them this season was St. Thomas Aquinas, who is playing for the 7A Region 1 title, next week.

I am now interested in the Clearwater Central Catholic at Berkley Prep game for the 3A Region 3 Championship. CCC has had an interesting season. 

Tampa Bay Tech is playing Wharton for the 7A Region 3 title. The winner of that game will have to face the winner of the Homestead/St. Thomas Aquinas game in the State Semis. 

The Sebring/Clearwater game may be good. Clearwater's only loss this season was to Lakeland in the season opener. They only have one common opponent, Gibbs. Clearwater beat them 46-28 at Gibbs and Sebring won 29-0 at home in Sebring, last night. 

If I remember correctly the TBT/Wharton game during the regular season was a defensive struggle.

Most of the Ohio games are really close scores and competitive games compared to KY scores.

They're elite this year. They're usually in the Southern part of the bracket which means in years past they have to go through a South Florida team to get to a state championship game. Districts are new this year so I'm not sure what side of the bracket they'll fall on this year, but if it's the south then they'll have to deal with Miami Northwestern in the semi final round. 

Game on. Miami Northwestern at Tampa Jesuit Friday night.

I'm seeing a lot of blowouts for the semifinal round. Are the classes just that top heavy in Florida this year?

Not really. If you notice, most the final matchups, are between schools from the large metropolitan areas around the state (Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Ft. Lauderdale/Miami). Because of the geographical aspect of the region and districts, the teams in the large metro areas thin themselves out in district play and regional rounds while remainder of the brackets tend to clear out the schools from rural areas, for the most part. That is especially true in the large school classes. With the exception of 1A, there is at least one participant from a large metropolitan area in every final. That's pretty much the same every year. 

8A Apopka (Orlando Metro) vs Venice

7A Tampa Bay Tech vs St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale)
