As Owner and Publisher of FloridaHSFootball.com, I usually don’t get highly opinionated on the site for one reason or another, but that changes for this moment.
Over the last month I have relocated to the Gainesville-area. Not only was this a business move, it was a personal move that meant a lot of changes. There are things I cannot even go into detail about or why the move was made towards the start of the season.
However, the move is done and it is on to better things, and better things for this website.
Old Business
But first, let me clear up some old business, before I get to the things that will be changing for the better for this website and for you the fans and viewers.
As you know we have been trying publish expanded preview guide that built upon the 2014 FNF Florida Magazine. The move was just overwhelming and even with help, there is only so many hours in a day. At this point some things are going to get scrapped, but we will get the rest of the regional Top 10 rankings, top games of the season and at least the all-region team out before August 22nd which will be the first night a Florida team plays a game that will count on the record.
New Business
With the old business out-of-the-way we can focus on a bit of new business. We plan on doing a lot this season and we going to rock it big time.
MVP Subscribers
The plan includes to have at least 20 articles a week during the season MVP, if not more depending on current trends. This will include regional rankings, top games of the week and top statewide games to watch each day and more.

Also we will be attending all future FHSAA Board of Directors Meetings in Gainesville. Our move to Gainesville, has put us very close to the FHSAA offices and we plan to keep an eye on all things that could affect the football scene in Florida in the years to come. As such we will give reports on football related news or other items of interest from these meetings as warranted.
We will also touch on other news and notes with different notebooks and more content that we haven’t even thought of yet.
Anyways, I truly appreciate each one of you who visit our website, follow us on social media and just purely enjoy high school football in the great state of Florida.
