Top 10 Toughest Playoff Brackets: Florida Class 5A

No. 4
Bracket: Florida Class 5A
Defending Champion: Plant
Favorite: St. Thomas Aquinas
Sleeper: First Coast (Jacksonville, Fla.)
Analysis: The team that captures a title in this classification will have earned it. When teams like Plant and Lakeland would be surprise title winners, it's clear that this bracket is brutal. Manatee beat Aquinas in last year's semifinal, and this year, they appear to be on a collision course. There are plenty of teams capable of challenging both. Countryside, Fleming Island and St. Petersburg, all undefeated, help make this the state's toughest bracket.
