Quick Hit: Things are wide open in the district for anything to happen. It is evident given the district champion the past two season in Martin County sitting at the No. 3 seed while No. 1 seed Fort Pierce Central has dramatically improved and shocked a lot of people along the way. Really anything could possibly happen in this district tournament and it is clearly wide open for the taking. Predicting who moves on could be the toughest part of all of this.

DISTRICT 1A-11

at Port St. Lucie

Tournament Dates
Semifinals – Tuesday

#3 Fort Pierce Westwood
#4 Port St. Lucie

Semifinal Matchups
#2 Glades Central vs. #3 Fort Pierce Westwood, 6
#1 Jensen Beach vs. #4 Port St. Lucie, 7:30

Quick Hit: This is district has two factors… Jensen Beach who went undefeated in the regular season and a highly improved Glades Central, whose only loss is to Jensen Beach. Yes, Glades Central picked up a huge win against Seminole Ridge to close out the season last week and has given them confidence coming into the district tournament. We expect that it will come down to Jensen Beach and Glades Central for the district championship. Either team would represent this district fine and either one could have a chance to be playing in the state semifinals in Boca Raton next month.

Predicted District Champion: Jensen Beach
