STATE SEMIFINALS: The Stage Is Set
Since the last week of August, the objective was to be playing in the second and third weeks of December.
That was made possible on Friday night when the state semifinals took place – from the Panhandle to southern Miami-Dade County as 18 teams have survived until the end of the 2022 season.
Four game this coming week at Gene Cox Stadium and five the following week at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale are the destinations for this year's finals.
