PORT ST. JOE-Two Class A football heavyweights went to battle last Friday night in Port St. Joe.

The Blountstown Tigers came into the game seeded #1 in Region 2 with the Port St. Joe Tiger Sharks seeded #2 a mere 3/10 of a point behind. Seeding at the end of week 11 is crucial because it determines which team will host playoff games through the state semifinals.
