FloridaHSFootball.com has obtained an exclusive quote from the Florida High School Athletic Association in regards to a recent story ran by the Miami Herald dealing with possible future changes to the FHSAA playoff format for tackle football.
[quote font=”arial” font_size=”14″ bgcolor=”#c0c0c0″ color=”#000000″ bcolor=”#” arrow=”no”]”Creating the fairest and most exciting playoff format for our student-athletes in any sport has always been a top priority for the Florida High School Athletic Association. We realize any new system faces challenges, which is why we are currently working with football coaches and athletic directors across the Sunshine State to fine-tune this proposal. Once we have gathered opinions and feedback from across the state, we will present the proposal June 13-14 at our next Board of Directors meeting in Gainesville. Should it receive positive sentiment from the BOD, the proposal would then go before the AD Advisory Board later this fall in hopes of implementing it for the 2017 season. While in its infant stages, this proposal has already received overwhelmingly positive feedback thus far. We look forward to the possibility of providing student-athletes, coaches and fans the most exciting playoff system possible.” [/quote]You can view what the proposed changes via this Power Point by clicking here.

FloridaHSFootball.com plans to further break down and discuss things in the coming days and weeks in regards to the proposed plan.
