Regional Finals


Perspective

Recommended Posts

In looking at the 32 Regional Finals match-ups, I noticed three things of interest:

1.  Only roughly a third of the games (11 of 32, to be precise) will feature a #1 vs. #2 matchup. 

2.  The #1 seed will be playing in about two-thirds of the games (23 of 32).  In the remaining nine regions, the top seed already has been knocked off. 

3.  Three of the Regional Final games will feature a #5 seed, while an impressive six of the games (include two of the 5A games) will see a #6 seed playing for the title.  It will be a tough road for all six of these 6th seeded teams, as each one of them squares off against a #1 seed.

Based on what you posted, overall, the RPI did a decent job of identifying the number 1 seeds. However, a number of 5 and 6 seeds seem to have been underrated by RPI. Equally interesting is that no 7 or 8 seed has made it this far if I am reading your post correctly. 

Problem could have been FHSAA guaranteeing a top four seed to district champions. For instance, in 5A, Region 2, the 3 & 4 seeds were a joke. They should have been the 7 & 8 seeds. District champ should be guaranteed a spot in playoffs, but no way they should be guaranteed a seed in top half of bracket.

Darter, you are correct.  No 7's or 8's made it to the finals.

I don't have a problem with making the four district winners within a region the top 4 seeds.  It not only guarantees that a district winner makes the playoffs, but also guarantees them a first round home game.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
