Now that the state tournament field is set here's a breakdown of the regions for all South Florida teams including predictions from RMF Magazine co-founder Jean-Camille Dubuisson and long time #PBCHOOPS contributor Derrick Franklin:

2020 has been a year like no other, bringing changes to our everyday lives. Sports, basketball in particular, has not been immune to the changes. Those changes have affected the start of the high school basketball season here in Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County School District has made the decision to delay the start of the season two weeks from the official start date set by the FHSAA. Many private schools however have decided to begin the year and compete using the FHSAA calendar.
It’s the Elite 8. Things are getting tight, South Florida teams including four from Palm Beach County are looking to punch tickets to State.
Tuesday Pick Record: #PBCHOOPS 12-4 (Overall 36-18) D Franklin 12-4 (Overall 36-18)
