It's hard to imagine playoff football in Florida without Bolles. Under the guidance of legendary head coach Corky Rogers, Bolles (12-1) will be playing in its 14th state title game. Rogers, who owns 423 career victories, has also won 73 playoff games, also a state record. Last week, Bolles shut down the nation's all-time leading rusher, Derrick Henry. It will need to be equally stout on defense against a talented Washington squad.

Treon Harris, who has thrown for 2,461 yards and 33 touchdowns. He's also done damage on the ground, running for 13 scores.
Laqwan Scott and
Matthew Thomas lead the defense with 13 and 10 sacks, respectively. They'll need to be accounted for on each play. Washington is looking to avenge a 33-25 loss to Bolles in the Class 4A title game a year ago.
