Another week of postseason play in football is ahead for two area teams.
Central kicks off a second round Florida Invitational Tournament game against Port St. Joe tonight on the road while Pace travels to Mandarin for a Region 1-6A semifinal on Friday.

Heartbreaking doesn’t begin to describe the University of West Florida’s 47-44 overtime loss to Valdosta State Saturday night at PenAir Field.
Not when the loss cost the third-ranked Argos an unbeaten season as well as the Gulf South Conference championship.

Milton’s football team has enjoyed a turnaround season, but that special year came to an end Friday night with a 23-7 loss to Beachside in a Region 1-5A playoff opener.

Jay’s football team earned a playoff berth for the third consecutive season under head coach Brian Watson.
Unfortunately for the Royals, they also earned a first-round matchup with the undefeated Blountstown Tigers.

Earlier this week AJ Adkins’ basketball coach said he hopes he doesn’t see his senior standout in the gym until early December.
That, of course, would mean the Pace Patriots are playing for a state championship.

Late in the fourth quarter Thursday night, with this historic playoff game for the Central Jaguars hanging in the balance, Cade Scott walked the sideline encouraging his teammates to keep their heads up.
‘We still have the lead,’ Scott told his fellow Jaguars.

Milton’s boys soccer team has won two of its first three games, beating Pine Forest for its second win Monday night at the West Florida Soccer Club.

Milton’s girls soccer team has shown a lot of promise in its first three games.

We’re talking playoffs this week for Pace, Milton, Jay and Central.
The FHSAA postseason begins tonight with the Florida Invitational Tournament. The championship bracket begins Friday.

Pace, Milton and Jay’s girls basketball teams had a chance to test themselves in preseason games at Pace this past week.
