Seminole is unbeaten. Jones wants another shot at a championship. Across Central Florida, playoff contenders are waiting to learn what stands between them and a state title.
The FHSAA will announce its brackets Friday, Nov. 6, at 5 p.m., with regional quarterfinals scheduled for Nov. 13. uk.sports.yahoo.com
Seminole’s 10-0 regular season puts the Seminoles among the area’s leading Class 6A contenders, alongside a 9-1 DeLand team. Both enter the postseason picture with expectations that extend beyond an opening-round win.
In Class 4A, Jones brings experience after consecutive state championship appearances. The Tigers finished 7-3, while Bishop Moore enters at 8-2. The First Academy, also 7-3, is another local contender to watch in Class 2A.
Evans and Oviedo carry matching 7-3 records into the Class 5A picture. For Evans, a projected rematch with Pace could offer a chance to answer last season’s 20-6 playoff loss. Hosting that potential matchup would spare the Trojans another lengthy road trip.
Other teams face uncertainty simply getting into the field. Lake Brantley and Hagerty remain part of the selection debate despite the Patriots’ recent 56-0 head-to-head victory.
The matchups remain projections until Friday’s reveal. Then the conversation shifts from who belongs to who can advance.
