Florida's regional semifinal matchups are set as the postseason heats up in the Sunshine State image

Florida's postseason kicked off Thursday night as the Sunshine State's top programs began their march toward the state championships.

The first round of Florida's FHSAA playoffs mostly proceeded as expected, although there were two undefeated teams that took a spill Friday night.

In the Class 7A ranks, the undefeated Jupiter [FL] Warriors (10-0) were beaten in a close 24-21 contest against the Dr. Phillips [Orlando, FL] Panthers – their first loss since November 22, 2024, in the second round of the playoffs to this same Panthers' squad. Last year's result was 35-0, but Dr. Phillips was the clear favorite in that game, and this time, Jupiter was expected to advance.

There was a similar result in the Class 4A bracket, as the Plantation [FL] Colonels (7-4) knocked off the previously unbeaten Dillard [Fort Lauderdale, FL] Panthers (10-1). Dillard's previous loss also took place on November 22, 2024, in a 24-14 second-round loss to the American Heritage [Plantation, FL] Patriots.

We've updated the Sunshine State's Class 7A/6A/5A/4A brackets below, and we'll continue to update them each week during the playoffs until the state championships are decided.
