Perhaps the schools in the panhandle should be allowed to play in the Alabama or Georgia playoffs instead if they wanted to . . . it could be called "State Choice."  

Niceville had to travel 670 miles round-trip to play Nease in round one.  IF they beat Bartram Trail, they will (most likely) have a 600-mile round-trip to play Buchholz.  The problem is there just aren`t a lot of large enrollment schools west of Lake City, so larger classes would not necessarily solve this problem.  These panhandle schools just about have to be drawn into a Region with Jacksonville-area schools.  Significant travel is just a fact of life in Region 1, and holds true for other sports as well.    

And that wouldn't have solved any issues. As @Perspective said, it is just a really big region.

Disagree here with you NoleBull. It is good to see Plant and Dr. Phillips back to making a run of sorts. Sumner has been building up and Durant... come on now give them some credit.
Just because a couple of names aren't traditionally the names we usually hear does not mean some of these can't be starting a path of their own, which they should be.
Things cycle. That is a part of life... and football.

Here is all the regional semifinal pairings along with links to purchase games for any playoff game in the state along with links to watch dozens of games live on NFHS Network.

Not an apologist for Bartram Trail, but they finished second in their district with one district loss, behind the district winner and top seed in the region, Buchholz.  If BT had beaten Buchholz, there's a very good chance that Buchholz would have been in the same position that BT is in now:  3rd seed in the Region, having to travel from Gainesville to 6th-seeded, but district champ, Navarre, for the first round game and then traveling the following week to #2 seed Niceville for the second round game.   Bottom line:  it's just a really, really big region, so travel is inevitable. 

No joke...
That trip to Navarre was 369 miles one-way or 738 miles round trip.
To Niceville is 331 miles one-way or 662 miles round trip.
When its all said and done, Bartram Trail will have traveled 1,400 miles in two weeks. Most playoff teams will not even come close to touching that mileage number.

I don’t agree with that. Any of those teams could win in the next round. And who is the ultimate endgame? Miami Columbus? Big deal. They have a checkered history at best. Any of those teams you mentioned would have a punchers chance against the rest of the state. Is it likely that they’ll win? Probably not, but they’re not bad teams.

Nipping this thread for now... will have The Original Coaches Moving Van going next week and will have an official going forward. Thank you all for understanding!

Josh just waits until after the games are played, to decide who to pick. 

Alright, so over the last 48-plus hours since the brackets were released a lot has changed with game dates and kickoff times being switched up a lot of schools. As such, I have been on top of that here.
Also I have included direct links to buy tickets for each game that way you don't have to go searching to where buy tickets and live stream links to watch over 50 games on NFHS Network!
