Tate, Pace, WFHS Among Area Teams In Round Two Of Playoff This Week

November 20, 2025

The second round of FHSAA playoff is this week with two North Escambia teams on the brackets, but one is expected not to play.

In the 2025 Rural FIT,  the Northview Chiefs were seeded at No. 5 with a first round bye in the regional semifinals on November 13. The FHSAA scheduled Northview to travel to No. 4 Moore Haven, about 600 miles and over nine hours away, for the Thursday night regional finals, but Northview Principal Michael Sherrill tells us that Northview will not participate in the FIT this season.

The Tate Aggies will host the FIT4A-7A Regional Final against Bartram Trail (from near Jacksonville) on Thursday night at 7 p.m.

    If Florida is superimposed on a map of the US, Pensacola would be located in Chicago, Jacksonville would be in Pittsburgh, and Miami would be in Charlotte.

    It is absolutely ridiculous for high schools to be expected to play a game in one end of the state in either direction.

    Such games in any high school sport should be held at the approximate half way point between the two communities.

    Imagine a Charlotte high school playing in Chicago, and the route had to travel to Pittsburgh first.
