It would have if the number of teams scooped up in that bracket was 16 like I believe it should be and they went with straight MaxPrep rankings. 

I looked back to last year and 4 of the top 8 teams in the end-of-regular-season rankings won state titles -- Venice, C-M, West Boca Raton, and AH-P.  I would put this year's over/under at 2 for state titles out of the current group.  

Wow so is that a middle ground agreement or did Garcia not have an available field thurs night?  Oh wait, google shows that is an east coast location.  My bad.

I was informed last night by Heartland Archives that my 4-6 Sarasota Sailors will be playing at Dr. Joachim Garcia in Lake Worth Thursday night at 6:30pm in the UNFIT tournament.  I may sound like a hypocrite but because of my allegiance to my alma mater I will be attending this game.  To think about it, I’ve been deemed unfit quite a few times in my life so this is not a stretch.  I threw away my deteriorating Sailors shirt before I moved to Boca Raton in July.  I’m about to order a new one so I can represent.  ANCHORS AWEIGH!

I'm stunned.  The whole purpose was to get STA, Chaminade, AHP, CCC, MNW, Miami Central, Venice, etc. into their own bracket.  The open division does not solve this at all.
