South Florida's elite teams continue their quest towards the State Championship in the Quarterfinal Rounds of the Regionals. All the teams advanced as expected with the slight exception of Redlands Christian in 1A that was the runner-up of District 16 and d. the winner of District 15 - Greater Miami Christian.
