In the uber-tough 2M classification, No. 7 Miami Central plays No. 19 Booker T. Washington (Miami). Back on September 8, Central beat BTW 38-28. The winner moves on to the Region 4 final against the winner of No. 6 Norland and Monsignor Pace.
How tough is 2M? In addition to the aforementioned teams, the class also includes No. 5 American Heritage (Plantation) and and No. 25 Cardinal Gibbons. In addition, there are two other teams ranked in the HSFA 300 national rankings — No. 226 Raines and No. 234 Riverside (Jacksonville).
In Region 3M this week, No. 8 Edgewater faces No. 9 Jones (Orlando). Like Central and BTW, this one is a rematch from the regular season. On September 14, Edgewater won 31-14.
The third Top 25 head-to-head is in 4S where No. 15 Treasure Coast plays No. 20 Vero Beach.
