Dunedin (3-1) at Largo (3-0)Though it doesn't have any district implications, this game has meaning, especially to the Falcons, who want revenge after losing 31-0 last year.Wright: Largo
Putnam: Largo Gibbs (3-1) at Clearwater (2-2)Tornadoes quarterback Luke Loucks hopes to rebound after throwing five interceptions last week. That'll be tough against an athletic Gladiators secondary.Wright: Gibbs
Putnam: Gibbs Cambridge (2-2) at Keswick (3-0)The Crusaders get their first big test of the season against an improved Cambridge squad.Wright: Keswick
Putnam: Keswick Tarpon Springs (3-0) at Countryside (2-2)The Spongers are trying to beat the Cougars for just the second time in the past six seasons.Wright: Tarpon
Putnam: Tarpon Fort Meade (3-1) at CC Catholic (3-1)The Miners' 23-game win streak against Pinellas County teams almost came to an end last week against Northside Christian. Now it's CCC's turn.Wright: Fort Meade
Putnam: CCC Boca Ciega (3-0) at St. Petersburg (0-4)The Pirates are waiting for next week's showdown with Northeast, but they can't look past the winless Green Devils, who have kept games close.Wright: Bogie

Putnam: East Lake Seminole (0-4) at Osceola (1-3)This neighborhood rivalry has seen better days. Give the Warriors the edge in this one.Wright: Osceola
Putnam: Osceola Sarasota Cardinal Mooney (2-2) at SP Catholic (1-3)After winning for the first time last week, the Barons try to make it two in a row against Cardinal Mooney, a team they've beaten three out of the past five seasons.Wright: Cardinal Mooney
