St. Thomas Aquinas and Edgewater waited until the perfect time to be the No. 1 seed in their respective regions in Class 5A.

Aquinas, which is attempting to win a state record seventh consecutive state title , topped Atlantic for the No. 1 seed in Region 4. Atlantic, the top seed in the Region in 2024, took Aquinas to overtime in last year's regional final.

Undefeated Edgewater, which was slotted into the No. 3 seed in Region 2 just a few weeks ago, earned the No. 1 seed over Lakeland. The Dreadnaughts, the 2024 state runner-up, are the No. 2 seed in the region.

Ponte Vedra (Region 1) and Riverdale (Region 3) also earned No. 1 seed. The top team in each region is guaranteed home field advantage through the first three rounds of the playoffs.
