Contenders
Baron Collier: The Naples school is led by Old Dominion signee Deion Clark who will need a big performance to carry the load for the Cougars in a difficult Region 4.

Norland: The South Florida power is back again as the favorite in 6A and is led by Georgia Southern signee Cleon Roberts.
Pembroke Pines Charter: The Jaguars cruised to their first district title by defeating Fort Lauderdale 62-37 and are led by the frontcourt of Bryant Willis and Justin Satchell.
Ridgeview: The 21-5 Panthers are the District 3 champions led by senior forward Jordan Banks and are the slight favorites to capture an evenly balanced Region 1.
Sickles: Coach Renaldo Garcia's program is our pick in Region 3 after a 21 win season. Junior guard Daniel Harris leads the way for the Tampa school.
Cinderella Search

Best Opening Round Game
Leon vs. Wolfson: A pair of 5 loss teams meet in an intriguing first round matchup in Jacksonville. Both teams feature very balanced scoring attacks and play stingy defense with should make for a closely contested opening round game.
