FHSAA Class 4A Elite 8 Predictions

We make our picks for which teams could likely end up in the FHSAA Class 4A Elite 8.

In the Region 3 final, a likely American Heritage-Clewiston matchup would be an intriguing one given the talent returning for both teams.

Junior quarterback Blake Murphy returns for American Heritage after throwing for over 600 yards and eight touchdowns last season, according to MaxPreps.

Additionally, quarterback Michael Holmes returns for Clewiston, which could make this an interesting matchup between the two signal-callers. Holmes threw for over 800 yards and eight touchdowns during his sophomore season.

The Patriots also get their top rusher back from a year ago in junior Mark Fletcher. He had over 1,000 yards on the ground and a team-leading 11 touchdowns last season.

We’ll see if this matchup happens come playoff time.
