The Florida High School Athletic Association released the softball brackets in each classification. Eight teams (four district champions, four at-large berths) in each region made the playoffs in Classes 7A-2A. 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 with Classes 4A-2A, followed by 7A-5A on Thursday. Here are the area region quarterfinal matchups for each class.
