What to watch tonight

Wiregrass Ranch (20-2) at Berkeley Prep (16-4), 7

The Bulls, winners of six straight games, are having one of their best seasons in school history. To keep that momentum going they have to get past the host Buccaneers, who are trying to rebound after losing their last two games.  

Nature Coast (12-10) at Central (17-5), 7:30

This is a rematch from a game the Bears won by 25 points in December. Central has already clinched consecutive Gulf Coast 8 Conference and Hernando County championships but still want to sweep the season series.  

Tampa Catholic (10-13) at Tampa Prep (21-2), 7:30

Despite losing their past two games, the Crusaders are still undefeated against Hillsborough County opponents, beating Berkeley Prep and Jesuit. The host Terrapins also are undefeated against Hillsborough County foes but will still have a challenge to keep their current eight-game win streak going.
