We've reached the home stretch for both high school boys volleyball and beach volleyball.
The Florida High School Athletic Association beach volleyball season ends this week on Friday, with district tournaments anywhere from April 21-24. For area teams – meaning Gulf Breeze and Pace – the District 1-2A tournament is being held in Fort Walton Beach.
Boys volleyball is on a similar timeline, with the regular season ending on April 23, quickly followed by district tournaments from April 28-May 1.
With limited beach and boys volleyball squads in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, we'll combine the rankings every week through the end of the season.
Here are the fifth FHSAA beach volleyball rankings and the third boys volleyball rankings for area teams, plus a way-too-early playoff watch.
District tournaments begin next week, but it's still fun to examine what the playoff scenarios would look like if the regular season ended today as far as region tournaments.
District champions automatically advance to the region tournament after the district tourney, and there are four at-large bids per region. For the playoff watch, we'll presume that the top team in each district wins the district tournament and moves onto regionals – that's what we're going to share below.
Rankings are bound to change after district tournaments as well, so we'll pretend that they didn't change at all through districts to make things a little easier. Remember: anything can happen in the playoffs.
Here's what the region tournaments would look like.
Notes: Remember, beach volleyball is a unique sport once it gets to region tournaments with a pair of play-in games before the first round of the state tournament. The first play-in game is represented above. Gulf Breeze would take on Middleburg, while Pace would play Beachside. There will be a re-seeding starting the first round for the Top 16 teams, which is in Tallahassee.

Notes: The four presumed district champions are the top four teams, making it straight-forward who hosts in the quarterfinals. Gulf Breeze, which jumped up two spots in the region rankings, now gets to host in the quarterfinals, going against sixth-seeded Bartram Trail to start the region tournament.
