8 Tampa Bay Area teams will advance to FHSAA playoffs in 2012, that were not playoff teams in 2011.  We take a look at a few of those teams and examine what they have to do to buy themselves a ticket to round two. – New playoff teams BOLBED

5A
LAKEWOOD AT BISHOP MOORE
Lakewood has to run the ball effectively. With a steady and effective run game, the Spartans will be able to dictate situations and control the flow of the game. Continue to mix in Rodney Adams at QB. This will keep the BP defense off balance and force them to make adjustments to stop it if successful.

3A
TAMPA CATHOLIC AT FORT MEADE
TC needs to continue to be a balanced team. Ft. Meade will be very talented with plenty of athletes. If Tampa Catholic stays balanced and can work the playaction and take their shots when time, Crusaders can keep Ft. Meade guessing.

2A
MOORE HAVEN VS CARROLLWOOD DAY AT ALONSO HIGH
CDS must stop the run. Moore Haven has almost a 1:10 ratio of pass to run. Force them to pass and CDS should be successful.

INDIAN ROCKS AT NAPLES FIRST BAPTIST
First Baptist has two rushers with over 1K rushing yards and 4 different passers with 545 yards. So, pretty simple here: STOP THE RUN. IRC has been pretty good running the ball and mixing in the pass.
