The Florida High School Athletic Association has come up with a new way for the state semifinals. The four teams that won their regional final games will be reseeded instead of the longtime procedure of Region 3 winner versus Region 4 winner and Region 1 winner against Region 2 winner. The South Florida tri-county region will host six state semifinals next week.
Class 4M in Region 3 had #1 Palm Beach Central got by #3 Palm Beach Gardens 14-10 to reach the state semifinals for the first time in school history. #1 Columbus knocked off #3 Doral Academy 31-3 in Region 4. Based on the new seeding, #1 Columbus stays home against #4 Ocoee while #2 Palm Beach Central hosts #3 Apopka.
Region 3 in Class 3M saw #1 St. Thomas Aquinas handled #3 Blanche Ely 35-7 and reached the state semifinal for the ninth straight season. #1 Homestead withstood #2 Miramar 33-13 in the third round. #1 St. Thomas Aquinas will host #4 Jesuit and #3 Homestead visits #2 Jones.
In Region 3 of Class 2M, #1 American Heritage defeated district foe #2 Cardinal Gibbons 31-20. Region 4 had #1 Miami Central break down #3 Miami Norland 34-20. Newly seeded #2 American Heritage remains at home versus #3 Bolles while #1 Miami Central hosts #4 Lakewood.
Class 1M in Region 3 had #1 Chaminade-Madonna victorious over #2 Cardinal Newman 49-16. #3 True North Academy outscored #4 Palmer Trinity 58-37. #1 Chaminade-Madonna will host new seeded #4 True North Academy in the state semifinal round. The other game will be #3 Clearwater Central Catholic at #2 University Christian.
The last South Florida tri-county high school in Class 1R was eliminated. #2 Pahokee was knocked out of the postseason for the second straight year by the same opponent as they fell to #1 Hawthorne 21-20.
