Quick takeaways:

• Second-round play is concentrated on May 1; expect a full day of regional travel and gate activity for many programs.
• The state finals at Hammond Stadium run across two blocks in mid‑May — a setup that could affect weekend travel plans for teams and families.
• Top seeds appear across the brackets, but the single‑elimination format means underdogs can still change the picture quickly.

For up‑to‑the‑minute results, bracket updates and box scores, follow local schools’ athletic pages and the bracket host. Media covering games should confirm start times and home‑site responsibilities — many matchups will be hosted by the higher seed. If you plan to attend the Fort Myers finals, verify parking and ticket policies ahead of time since multiple classifications will be competing across the scheduled dates.
