High school football fans will not have to watch Monday Night Football on television this week. Instead, they can watch high school football to determine the district champions and the runnerup in two Central Florida districts.

The shootouts are necessary to determine the two top spots in Class 4A, District 12 amd in Class 3A, District 7 because three teams are tied for first place in both districts.

The 4A-12 tiebreaker will be played at Eagle Lake Lake Region High School at 7 p.m. between Groveland South Lake, Auburndale and Lake Region. The 3A-7 tiebreaker will be played at Bishop Moore at 7 p.m. between Eustis, Bishop Moore and Harmony.

Admission to each tiebreaker, as established by the Florida High School Athletic Asociation is $6.
in 4A-12, South Lake (4-5 overall) will play Auburndale (4-5) in the first quarter. If after the end of the quarter, the two teams are tied, the FHSAA tiebreaker procedure will be used with each team given an the ball on a first-and-goal from the 10-yard line. That procedure will be repeated, if necessary, until one team wins. The winner will then play Lake Region (6-3) for the district championship. If Lake Region, the top-seeded team wins, the loser of the second quarter will be the district runnerup. If Lake Region loses it and the team that lost the first quarter will play one more quarter to determine the district runnerup.

Lake Region's 20-19 victory over Auburndale on Friday forced the shootout after South Lake beat Lake Region 28-21 a week earlier.

The 3A-7 shootout at Bishop Moore will have Eustis (7-2) vs. Harmony (7-2) in the first quarter with the winner getting top-seeded Bishop Moore (7-2)in the second quarter and the winner of that quarter is the district champ. If Bishop Moore loses, it will play the loser of the first quarter for the runner-up spot in the third quarter.

Eustis forced the playoff with a 10-7 victory over Bishop Moore on Friday night after losing to Harmony 31-13 the week before.
