Five Pensacola area volleyball teams now know their path to the Final Four after brackets were released Oct. 18. District tournaments were supposed to wrap Oct. 16 but wrapped a day later locally after teams got an exception due to damages from Hurricane Isaias
Navarre (6A), Pensacola Catholic (3A) and Jay (Rural) already knew they were in the field by winning their respective district ***** les, while Gulf Breeze (5A) and Booker T. Washington (4A) picked up at-large bids. No local teams qualified for the FHSAA's brand new Open Division, though a couple that did had direct ramifications on Region 1 brackets.
Playoff action will start with regional quarterfinals on Oct. 20 for classes 1A-3A and Oct. 21 for classes 4A-6A. Regional semifinals for all classes will be Oct. 24, followed by regional finals for Rural and 1A-3A on Oct. 27 and 4A-6A on Oct. 28.
All roads lead to Polk State College and the Winter Haven Health Center for the state semifinals and finals, which will take place Nov. 2-7.
Below are the regional brackets featuring Pensacola-area teams and what to know in each classification. District champions are marked with an asterisk (*) and will host a regional quarterfinal unless matched up with a higher-seeded district champion.
