Semi-Finals

[CoachK]

On the FHSAA website, there is a discrepancy.  It shows Region 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 but, it also shows 1 ranking playing 4 and 2 vs 3.  Are they reseeding Semi-Finals based on RPI?

Yes, reseeding based on end of regular season final RPI. So it will be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3, regardless of region.

I understand the thinking here but, having a panhandle team team travel to S Florida or vice versa seems broken.

I don't disagree. Not sure if enough thought was given to this. Perhaps, they could meet at a neutral site somewhere in the middle. I know that removes some of the intended advantage to the higher seed.

Pahokee has the 8th ranked RPI, so they will have to travel if they win, even though higher ranked teams didn’t beat a playoff team or more than 1 team with a winning record

Pahokee was punished because they are not a lot of small public schools they could play within 100 miles. Instead, they scheduled a number of larger schools and did very well against them. But paid the price in terms of seeding. It may make sense for Pahokee to petition (if that's still allowed) to play in 4A next reclassification period just to save on travel and get a better seeding in the playoffs.

We’re the only 1A school south of Polk County, so pre RPI there was a lot of travel. Might have to move up a class or two

Pahokee can and would compete in 4A. They've played Cocoa twice in regular season albeit they weren't 100% but the first game was competitive for the most part. Plus they annually play bigger schools anyway

All 3 of those teams are beatable just like every team in the state so you cant say never. Especially if it's a hypothetical.

I agree with you because people put labels on numbers and it's not like that. Pahokee is in 1A and can compete with just about anyone in the state. Just this season alone they beat 4 schools all in 8A.

Only played Bolles once (lost in the finals), but beat Glades Central #1 in 4A that same year. Played Miami BTW (once), Cocoa (twice), Dillard (twice), beat Chaminade more than they have beaten us. Ocala Trinity and Jacksonville Trinity…so playing bigger schools isn’t an issue….Madison played the toughest schedule in 1A and should be the 1 seed, but I guess it’s better to play bottom tier schools to get a good record

Any team can be beaten anytime depends on matchups and how things play out whether forced or unforced

That’s why Pahokee played up (3A) in the past. Glades Central is the next, smallest public school and they are 4A, double PKs population. The other small schools in Palm Beach County are private (Benjamin, Cardinal Newman, Oxbridge, Delray-American Heritage, Glades Day).
