All teams will now await the announcement of the FHSAA state playoff brackets, which will be revealed Thursday at noon on the FHSAA’s YouTube channel.
TFA is still awaiting a court decision about its status after parents of the TFA players filed an injunction, through Heitner Legal of Fort Lauderdale, to have a playoff ban lifted. TFA was placed on a two-year playoff ban last year after an FHSAA investigation revealed that several TFA players were allowed to participate in team activities prior to being enrolled in the school.
