Eight teams (four district champions, four at-large berths) in each region made the playoffs in Classes 2A-1A. The seeds were based of the FHSAA’s rankings. In the quarterfinals, the higher seed hosts unless a district champion is playing an at-large opponent (district champ hosts in that scenario). The region quarterfinals start on Wednesday.
