What to watch
Baseball

Boys basketball state semifinals
Class 5A (at Lakeland’s RP Funding Center)
Jesuit (25-4) vs. Pembroke Pines Charter (11-3), 4

After all, Jesuit is undefeated away from home (10-0) this season, including three straight in the postseason. This will be the Tigers’ toughest test in the playoffs. The Jaguars are ranked first in 5A and ninth overall in the state by MaxPreps.
