When: Friday November 2, 2012
Week: Week #10
Where: Gaither High’s James Bothwell Stadium
Districts: Tampa Bay Tech & Gaither | 7-7A
Why: This District 7-7A game will likely be a showdown again of the best teams from this district. Tampa Bay Tech won the first of two matches with Gaither last season, but Gaither came back the second time around to win the most important of them all to advance in the playoffs. With both teams having talent this will be a showcase that could attract more attention of college recruiters as well. Overall, this should be one of the more well attended games in the Tampa Bay area during Week 10.
