Class 2A
Seffner Christian (15-7) at Fort Myers Evangelical Christian (19-6), 5
After starting the season 13-1, the Crusaders have lost six of their last eight games. Most of the games during that rough stretch were against teams in higher classifications. The tough competition helped them prepare for the postseason, which started with a 6-2 victory over Bradenton Christian in the region quarterfinals. To advance, Seffner Christian will have to get the Sentinels, who are ranked second in the class and have won seven straight games.
