The four at-large postseason berths in each region are determined strictly by the rankings. Here is the list of the top eight in regions that include area teams. Local ranked teams are in bold.

What to watch tonight

Mitchell (8-5) at Cypress Creek (7-3), 7

After an 0-3 start, the Mustangs have rebounded to win eight of their last 10 games. Their recent surge includes a 4-0 record against teams from Pasco County. They put that streak on the line against the host Coyotes, who are looking to bounce back from last week’s loss to Wesley Chapel that ended their four-game win streak.
