WHO: Dwyer (7A-13) at Vero Beach (8A-8)
WHEN: Thursday, May 23
WHERE: Citrus Bowl, Vero Beach
WHY: Both Dwyer and Vero Beach had playoff type seasons last year, but both were in very different perspectives. For Dwyer it was a loss to Atlantic that sent them on the road in the first round of the playoffs, a loss that shocked the entire state. For Vero Beach it was bouncing back from being a district runner-up the season before to go on to a 9-1 season and go two deep into the playoff season as a district champion. Now both the Panthers and the Indians will meet to showcase the returning talent they have and the talent that will rise up to help both teams to continue to have the level of success both have been enjoying. This will be one game fans will not want to miss out on.
