FLAG FOOTBALL: Dr. Phillips, Harmony, St. Cloud and Wekiva district favorites in Orlando Metro districts

Flag Football District Tournaments are this week and we are taking a look at each district in every region of the state giving you the times, matchups, quick insight about the district and a prediction on who will emerge as the district champion and advance to the FHSAA regional playoffs. The Road To Boca Raton starts here!

DISTRICT 2A-2

at Apopka

Tournament Dates
Semifinals – Tuesday
Championship – Wednesday, 7

Seeding
#1 Wekiva
#2 Spruce Creek
#3 Flagler Palm Coast
#4 Apopka

Semifinal Matchups
#1 Wekiva vs. #4 Apopka, 6
#2 Spruce Creek vs. #3 Flagler Palm Coast, 7:30

Quick Hit: A rematch is set between crosstown rivals Wekiva and Apopka which was a 14-6 win for the Mustangs just two weeks ago. Apopka can play tough so we can’t discount them to potentially pull off an upset here as the No. 4 seed. Spruce Creek has a potential to also be an upset contender as they played Wekiva tough in an 18-6 loss to the Mustangs. As for Flagler Palm Coast, it has been a mixed season, but the season likely ends here at the tournament.

Predicted District Champion: Wekiva

DISTRICT 2A-3

at Timber Creek

Tournament Dates
Semifinals – Monday
Championship – Wednesday, 7

Seeding
#1 Dr. Phillips
#2 Timber Creek
#3 Boone
#4 Evans

Semifinal Matchups
#1 Dr. Phillips vs. #4 Evans, 6
#2 Timber Creek vs. #3 Boone, 7:30

Quick Hit: Dr. Phillips has by far ran the table going undefeated in district play using a lot of defense to win games, however, Timber Creek would love to get some revenge on the Panthers from their only loss in the district. Boone and Evans are likely to be non-factors leaving what has been a much-improved Timber Creek team to try take down Dr. Phillips.

Predicted District Champion: Dr. Phillips

DISTRICT 2A-5

at St. Cloud

Tournament Dates
Semifinals – Tuesday
Championship – Thursday, 7

Seeding
Subdistrict 1
#1 Lake Nona
#2 Cypress Creek (Orlando)

Subdistrict 2
#1 St. Cloud
#2 Osceola (Kissimmee)

Semifinal Matchups
#1 Lake Nona vs. #2 Osceola (Kissimmee), 6
#1 St. Cloud vs. #2 Cypress Creek (Orlando), 7

Quick Hit: St. Cloud is by far the best team in this district in which they challenge themselves to out-of-the-region competition earlier in the season at the Capital City Classic in Tallahassee, coming away with Silver Bracket championship. Lake Nona could be a potential threat to upsetting St. Cloud but would be hard-pressed to see Osceola or Cypress Creek to pull off a possible upset.

Predicted District Champion: St. Cloud

DISTRICT 1A-10

at East River

Tournament Dates
Semifinals – Tuesday
Championship – Wednesday, 6

Seeding
#1 Harmony
#2 Jones
#3 Poinciana
#4 East River

Semifinal Matchups
#2 Jones vs. #3 Poinciana, 5:30
#1 Harmony vs. #4 East River, 7

Quick Hit: This district could be anyone’s game as the No. 1 seed in Harmony has struggled in the latter part of the season with losses coming to Lakewood Ranch and Rickards. Jones came close to beating Harmony in their district game a couple of weeks ago and that might be enough fuel in the fire to push Jones ahead in the district. Poinciana could play spoiler but will need to play strong to pull an upset on Jones. East River, which only has one win on the season will not be much of a factor.

Predicted District Champion: Harmony
