Boys 1A Pre-Season Predictions

District 9

  1. Jesuit – The Tigers never seem to be in a rebuilding year. The program is large and deep. Although, District 9 this year could go to either Jesuit or Berkeley. It’ll be tight.
  2. Berkeley – With Berkeley hosting districts this year and their new coach Mike Ryder now in full control of the program, don’t be surprised to see the Buccaneers make some waves.
  3. Calvary Christian – Tough district for Calvary. Strong team with great coaching.
  4. Tampa Catholic – New coach Mike Gambrell may get a rude welcome with the #4 seed having to face #1 in the districts.

District 10

  1. St. Stephen’s – Head to head over the last few years, this team has handled the teams also listed on this preview. We have no reason to expect that to change.
  2. Northside Christian – A new team to the Tampa Lax Report area, but one with some impressive wins under their belt over the last few years.
  3. Robinson – This could be the Knights year to take the district title! This is truly a toss-up district in 2020.
  4. Jefferson – This program has steadily been improving over the last 4 or 5 years. This isn’t the team from 2013 anymore!

District 11

  1. Cardinal Mooney – No discussion needed. The Cougars are our overall #1 in the TLR area. Maybe not as good as 2019, but still better than the others in the area.
  2. Canterbury – New to the TLR area, Canterbury plays a solid game with a focus on the fundamentals. They should take the #2 spot.
  3. Out-of-Door – ODA lost their two big playmakers in 2019, but always fight for every game with a solid squad. Look for them to battle Canterbury for the 2nd seed.
  4. Bishop Verot – Another new TLR team. We hope we are able to get that far south to catch some of their games.
