No. 5
Game: Plant (Tampa, Fla.) (Favorite) vs.
Plant City (Fla.), Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Bracket: Florida 5AMaxPreps Computer Projection: Plant 35, Plant City 14
Analysis: After a rocky beginning to the season, Plant is peaking at the right time as Robert Weiner's teams tend to do. The Panthers have won five-straight games and have the senior leadership to make a deep playoff run. Coming off a blowout loss to Jefferson and without starting quarterback Bennie Coney, who was recently dismissed from the team, Plant City is a major underdog. However,
Javonte Sykes and
Dazmond Patterson give the offense some explosive weapons. With Florida State-bound
Jordan Prestwood upfront, the Raiders have a chance to control the line of scrimmage and make this one interesting.
Two Top 100 recruits will be on the field Friday night in Jordan Prestwood (left) and James Wilder (right).
