Pensacola area high school baseball district brackets, schedule

It’s postseason time for high school baseball.

District tournaments begin in the Pensacola area on April 14. Pace (6A) and Northview (Rural) are the only area teams that are top seeds in their respective districts, though plenty of other teams are looking to strengthen their resumes for the state playoffs.

Other teams will need to win the district tournament to extend their season, as the winner automatically qualifies for the state playoffs.

The first round of the state playoffs will take place next week. Regional quarterfinals for class 4A-7A will be April 24, regional quarterfinals for 1A-3A will be April 25. The rural classification will start with the regional semifinals, which will be a best two-out-of-three series running on May 1-2.

District champions automatically host in the regional quarterfinals unless they match up against a higher-seeded district champion. If the two teams aren’t district champions, then the higher seed hosts. The higher seed will host in the regional semifinals and finals.

Below is a breakdown of each district tournament featuring area teams, featuring schedules and where teams stand in the state playoffs. All rankings are from the April 7 FHSAA rankings.

(All games at Pace)

Semifinals (April 14)

• No. 4 Navarre at No. 1 Pace, 7 p.m.
• No. 3 Crestview at No. 2 Tate, 4 p.m.

Championship (April 16)

• Semifinal winners, 7 p.m.

Pace (21-4) has been the top ranked team in 6A for nearly a month, but won’t have an easy path to a seventh straight district title.

Tate (19-6) and Crestview (11-14) are currently slated to make the state playoffs as the No. 4 seed and No. 6 seed in Region 1-6A, respectively. The Aggies split with Pace this season, and have a great 1-2 punch on the mound in senior Bryton McLellan and junior Lance Brady. The Patriots beat Crestview twice and Navarre 11-0 on Feb. 27, not giving up a run in any of the three wins.

Pace will also be playing for the No. 1 seed and homefield advantage in the Region 1-6A playoffs. The Patriots were No. 11 overall in the state in the most recent FHSAA rankings, 18 spots ahead of region No. 2 seed Buchholz, who beat Pace in the regional finals a year ago.

District 1-5A

Semifinals (April 14)

• No. 4 Pine Forest at No. 1 Niceville, 6:30 p.m.
• No. 3 Milton at No. 2 Gulf Breeze, 6 p.m.

Championship (April 16)

• At higher seed, 6 p.m.

Gulf Breeze (15-10) is hoping to get another shot at Niceville (18-7) after the Eagles beat the Dolphins 5-4 on March 24 and 12-6 on March 25.

After three straight wins to end the regular season, Gulf Breeze has probably wrapped up a top four seed in the Region 1-5A playoffs. The Dolphins were ranked No. 4 in Region 1-5A and No. 58 overall in the most recent FHSAA rankings. They can guarantee a regional quarterfinal home game by winning the district championship.

District 1-4A

Semifinals (April 15)

• No. 4 Fort Walton Beach at No. 1 Choctawhatchee, 7 p.m.
• No. 3 Booker T. Washington at No. 2 Escambia, 7 p.m.

Championship (April 17)

• At higher seed, 7 p.m.

Escambia (14-11) remains firmly in the Region 1-4A playoffs despite losing out of their last 11 games to end the regular season. The Gators are currently the No. 6 seed in the region and No. 188 overall in the state, well clear of No. 8 seed Baker County (14-11), who currently ranks No. 243 in the state.

However, Escambia lost to Booker T. Washington 7-0 on February 12, getting shut down by Wildcats ace Travis Bright, who has a 1.81 ERA in 58 innings pitched this season. Booker T. (14-10) is fighting to keep its season alive, as it’s the first team out of the Region 1-4A bracket and is 41 spots behind Baker County in the overall FHSAA rankings.

The Wildcats have already clinched a winning season for the first time since 2021.

District 1-3A

Semifinals (April 14)

• No. 4 Walton at No. 1 South Walton, 7 p.m.
• No. 3 Pensacola at No. 2 West Florida, 7 p.m.

Championship (April 16)

• At higher seed, 7 p.m.

Despite losing two out of its last three games to end the regular season, West Florida (16-7) remains in line to get a top four seed in the regional quarterfinals.

The Jaguars were ranked No. 3 in Region 1-3A and No. 69 overall in the state in the latest FHSAA rankings. That’s slightly ahead of projected No. 4 seed Suwanee (14-11), who is ranked No. 77 in the state, and No. 5 seed Baldwin (14-11), who is ranked No. 112 in the state.

West Florida would automatically host a regional quarterfinal game if they win the district title, but that’s asking a lot in a likely matchup against South Walton (21-4). The Seahawks are currently ranked No. 2 in the state according to the FHSAA and No. 22 in the country according to Massey Ratings. Their top three pitchers, Denton Lord (Mississippi State), Coleman Borthwick (Auburn) and Griffin Loy (Virginia) are Power 4 commits.

Unless the Jaguars pull a major upset, they would have to hope they don’t match up with a district champion in the regional quarterfinals, which would mean a long bus trip rather than a home game.

Pensacola (15-5) is enjoying its winningest season since 2016, but has to win the district tournament to continue its season.

(All games at Bozeman)

Quarterfinals (April 14)

• No. 5 Freeport vs. No. 4 Destin, 7 p.m.

Semifinals (April 16)

• Freeport/Destin winner at No. 1 Bozeman, TBD
• No. 3 Marianna at No. 2 Pensacola Catholic, 4 p.m.

Championship (April 17)

• Semifinals winners, 7 p.m.

The Crusaders (15-9) enter the district tournament hot, winning nine of their last 12 games.

But in the most recent FHSAA rankings, Catholic was the last team in the Region 1-2A field. The Crusaders are in a region with two teams ranked in the top 10 in the state and three more in the top 50. Catholic checked in at No. 88, just seven spots ahead of Newberry, the first team out in Region 1-2A.

The Crusaders did not play any teams in their district this spring, but did play the toughest schedule of the five District 1-2A teams, according to the FHSAA.

District 1-1A

Championship (April 14)

• No. 2 L.E.A.D. Academy at No. 1 Rocky Bayou Christian, 4 p.m.

After struggling all spring, the Lions (2-13) have to win just one game to advance to the state playoffs. However, L.E.A.D. Academy has not beat a team in the FHSAA this season, going 0-10 will all 10 losses via mercy rule.

Rural District 1

(All games at Central)

Quarterfinals (April 14)

• No. 5 Paxton at No. 4 Baker, 4:30 p.m.
• No. 6 Laurel Hill at No. 3 Central, 7 p.m.

Semifinals (April 16)

• Baker/Paxton winner at No. 1 Northview, TBD
• Laurel Hill/Central winner at No. 2 Jay, TBD

Championship (April 17)

• Semifinal winners, 7 p.m.

Northview (16-8) is the top seed in head coach Justin Raley’s first season.

The Chiefs are 3-0 against district foes this spring, with two wins over Jay and an 11-6 win at Baker on April 6.

Jay (13-6) is looking for its third straight district title and has two strong arms to help get them there in seniors Landon Golden and Jax Lowery.

Both the Chiefs and Royals are all but guaranteed to make the Rural Region 1 playoffs. Central (15-6) has had a solid season but will need to win the district tournament to qualify for the state playoffs.
