Count me in Brodie.  I will be there next Friday night at Isaac Bruce Field.

2-8 Pensacola has to travel 6 hours to play Dunnellon in the FIT tournament on a Thursday night.  What a great idea.  Maybe they should lawyer up and see if they can get a judge to eliminate them from the playoffs.

SLAM Tampa will be in 11-man next season.

Since we can’t get this year’s brackets totally ironed out, why not briefly look ahead to the upcoming Open Division bracket.  Unless amended by the FHSAA Board of Directors, the Open Division will debut in 2026 as a mandatory (not optional) bracket for the top 8 teams in the FHSAA rankings after the regular season.  If the Open Division was in effect this year, these would be the opening round matchups: #8 Bolles @ #1 DeLand #5 Miami NW @ #4 Buchholz #6 Mandarin @ #3 Vero Beach #7 Carrollwood Day @ #2 Cardinal Mooney Not terrible, but these are some of the teams left out (and their final ranking): Raines (#9); Armwood (#10); Edgewater (#12); Lakeland (#14); C-M (#15); STA (#17).  Once again, relying solely on computer rankings may not achieve the desired goals.   

Thanks. I figured it was related to that. I try to avoid all of this government shtuff. All I want to do is play and crunch numbers.
