What to watch tonight

Calvary Christian (8-4) at River Ridge (9-5), 6

The two-time defending 3A state champion Warriors are coming off a loss to Inspiration Academy that snapped their four-game win streak. The host Royal Knights, meanwhile, are trying to build off last week’s walkoff win against Wesley Chapel.

Berkeley Prep (12-2) at Parrish Community (9-5), 6

This is a rematch from a game the Buccaneers lost at the Lady Cane Invitational. Berkeley Prep, ranked sixth in Class 3A by MaxPreps, has responded by not allowing a run in 17 straight innings. The defending 5A state champion Bulls, who are sixth in the class, need to find some consistency after going 2-4 in their last six games.  

Palm Harbor University (10-3) at Clearwater (10-2), 7

This matchup could feature plenty of offense with both teams averaging more than nine runs per game. The Hurricanes won both of their games last week by a combined 19-1. The host Tornadoes are trying to bounce back from a loss to Sickles that snapped their nine-game win streak.
