Of the weekend's competing teams, six are making a return appearance to Fort Myers, with four back to defend their 2019 titles. The Class 1A matchup between Sneads and Newberry will also be a rematch of last year's thriller, which saw Sneads claim a record tieing seventh consecutive state championship.
