The Buccaneers are also set to host the Florida High School Athletic Association's (FHSAA) state championships, which is slated to be played in May between classes 1A-4A.

Last season, the Buccaneers hosted their first-ever version of the BATTLEGROUNDS regular season tilt, with Alonso facing off against Newsome. The Ravens would win the contest in thrilling fashion in the final minutes.

Both Bloomingdale and Lennard are ranked in the latest Top 25 Florida girls flag football rankings, with Longhorns coming in at No. 1 and the Bulls at No. 24, respectively.
