What to watch
Football
Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (6-1) at Bloomingdale (12-0), 7
The undefeated Bulls are in the state semifinals for the first time in school history. They are trying to do something no other Tampa Bay team (counties including Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas) has ever done: beat powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in the playoffs.
Jesuit (13-0) at Plantation American Heritage (9-2), 7:30
The Tigers are in the state semifinals for the fifth time in the past six seasons. All five ended in losses to teams that went on to win state titles. Still, this might be the most complete team Jesuit has ever had in the semifinals, which could help reverse the trend.
Boys basketball
Wharton (6-1) at Sickles (6-3), 6:30
Class 7A, District rivals meet for the first time this season. Both are on a roll. The Wildcats have won six straight while the Gryphons are on a three-game win streak.
Girls basketball
Clearwater (7-3) at Lakewood (6-2), 7
This is a rematch from last season’s Pinellas County Athletic Conference championship game the Tornadoes won. It could also be a preview of another meeting between the two in this season’s conference title game.
Plant (6-0) at Steinbrenner (7-2), 8
The Class 7A, District 7 rivals are both ranked among the state’s top 16 in their class according to MaxPreps. The Panthers swept the series last season, winning both games by 50 or more points.
Girls soccer
Palm Harbor University (4-1) at Plant (7-0), 6
The two area powerhouses are ranked among the top 12 in their classification, the top 30 in the state and the top 50 in the nation by MaxPreps. Don’t expect a lot of scoring. The team have allowed five goals — combined — all season.
