FL contenders?

[181pl]

8A-  No clear favorite. Each region has real contenders. Winter Park and Apopka;  Osceola, Vero, and Dr. P;  Miramar and Deerfield; Columbus and Belen Jesuit; Should be the most wide open bracket.

7A-  STA still the favorite, but I could see any of the following group winning if STA falters: Lee, Columbia, Viera, Lakeland, Plant, TBT, Venice, Braden River.

6A- Region 4 Champ is the favorite, but there are contenders from everywhere, including:  St. Augustine, Crestview, Armwood, LG, Mainland, Central, Da West, Naples, N. Ft. Meyers. Gotta favor Da West, Central, and Armwood, but you never know.

5A- Heritage should have this on lock, but they could get a challenge from the Rock (Rockledge) or from the West Florida/Godby group, but pretty unlikely.

You listed armwood twice lol

 

Also in north of 5a you also have bolles and tca

 

In south you also have jones and cardinal gibbons but i agree on 8a being most open bracket 

 

8a may not be the most top heavy but there no doubt which is the deepest class 

[181pl]

5A-8A are all fairly deep. If you took away STA and Heritage, everything would be wide open.

I think Venice takes 7A this year....

How the hell is Cardinal Gibbons vs Orlando Jones a first round game in 5A?   That's 2 of the best 3 in that class.   Fl playoffs are a mess.

Gibbons might be out first round lol.

This is a great game. If I were not a die hard Apopka fan, I would not miss it. These are two of the best 4 teams in 5A playing in the first round of the playoffs. Unbelievable!

I currently have cardinal gibbons 2 and Jones 4 as well as both in my top 25

 

Should be a good game

It will be a very good game. If it were in Broward County, I would take Gibbons. But at home, I think Jones has at least a 50/50 chance of beating them. The winner would probably get Rockledge. That would also be a great round 2 game.

I agree, I think Jones might be the favorite at home.  They are better than people think IMO.

Jones is solid i just think people underestimating cardinal gibbons 

 

Only loss this year to a elite AHP team so can't sell them short lol

Again my point is i don't think anyone is doubting either team talent 

 

Some see Jones as better 

 

Some see cardinal gibbons as better

Overall, Gibbons probably has the better coaching staff top to bottom. But Jones has at least equivalent athletes.

If Rockledge is a home game it could be a long night for the challenger in round 2.

Would love to see Heritage, Centeral and STA all in the same bracket

As the number 2 seed, Rockledge would be at home against either Gibbons or Jones.

I see.  I agree with Darter on the game.   Gibbons has the coaching advantage, but Jones with the home field.   Jones is loaded with athletes, and although their schedule as a whole has been weak, they have had some impressive games.

Not bad, I do think you are giving the benefit of the doubt to teams with no losses which is fine.   Would you take Vanguard over Norland or Jones in a pickem?  Hard to say with a lot of these teams even Jones to be honest.
