GAINESVILLE, Fla. — On Tuesday afternoon the FHSAA released their first playoff points system averages for teams in all eight classifications.
For Class 5A, you will find a breakdown of point averages for each team in every district and a projected seeding (including tiebreakers) based upon the guidelines as published by the FHSAA.
For now, we will determine a projected district champion, which is guaranteed a seed in the one to four range in their region, based upon the team with the highest point average, unless a team has lost already to another team in the district as there are a few teams with higher averages than the current district leader. We will note that in a particular district if that is the case.
