I will watch the CCC vs Chaminade game this evening and see what that looks like. If good, then my decision is to stay put. If poor, I may make Thursday evening through Saturday. I may try and catch the early Thursday game, too, but since I would be leaving that morning, not sure if I will make it in time.

Obviously, planning to attend our game at 12:30 Friday but doubt I can stay down there for a long weekend like I had hope to catch some of the others. Hoping the NFHS broadcast of games from this venue are as high quality as was the one for the Rural championship from the Villages location.

Darter, I did get the opportunity to watch the Madison County vs Hawthorne championship game on the NFHS network and the quality of the video, audio, sports reporters, etc.. was fantastic. It is a different venue but my guess it will be high quality.

I’ll b there from tonight thru Saturday. The only state games I missed in forever were the ones in Tally.

@Dbl Aught 00 let a brother know

Disregard the KOC. For some reason I was thinking about Gadsen County vs Venice

That was later in the season not KOC But anyways they're Toast, Newton is out with a knee injury. Looks like Chaminade are Shoe ins

@MarkECannon, there's still a shot I may make it down for Thursday through Saturday. At least in Dade, I don't incur hotel costs as I can stay by my sister in North Miami. For me, this year it's more a matter of time. But some of the games do look like they should be competitive and since its that national high school site that is streaming them live, the quality will likely be poor.

Because I’m a nutcase I just purchased tickets to all 7 games. For the last 15 plus years my group of high school football buddies have had at least one of us attend the state finals. Individuals lived in Ft Myers,Tampa, Leesburg, Lakeland , Clearwater, Daytona Beach, Lake Mary and Apopka. At the peak my group had 10 people. Orlando were the glory years. For a few years the FHSAA provided our group with passes to every game(those were the days).

Never mind, I misinterpreted what you posted. WB/Osceola works as you have it above then.

XXX

We are only using the WB/Osceola game as the tiebreaker. I picked 40 and you picked 35. So basically 40 and above I win the tiebreaker, and 39 and below you win

Fair enough. See my totals below. Cocoa vs GC = 49 points Osceola vs WB = 35 points Hopefully, we won't need the tie breaker as I expect ST. Thomas and Lake Mary to win. But just in case, we are all set. If one of the games has a ton of points, then hats off to you.

I'd say they are definitely up there but with that game I also consider the fact it was still a kickoff classic. I would be between them and STA as the third and 4th best defense

I like Osceola too. But it will be close. WB has only given up 14 points on the year as their season high. The offense is led by younger guys. All their impact players are underclassmen. WB might be better next year and that’s saying something. I just feel Osceola is gonna be the most physical team they played by far and they will grind out a win.

Cocoa vs GC 52 points Osceola vs WB 40 points you make your total picks for each game and we will choose the one game with the largest difference between myself and you as the tiebreaker

They held Venice to 27 so that's gotta be considered. IMG was the only other team to hold them under 30

I would love to see it. I actually have 1948-2024 compete for Melbourne. I have ever score against Stuart High 9 scores from 1947 9 scores from 1946 7 from 1945 2 from 1938 2 from 1936 7 from 1935 4 from 1934 1 from 1933 3 from 1932 1 from 1930 2 from 1928 1 from 1927

I’ve been on the Kowboys Train since the Jones game.

I'd say they would be the 4th best defense they've faced this season

Ray, I believe Osceola wins this game. But they need to play it first. West Boca, like Lake Mary, is making its very first appearance in the finals. But they are technically undefeated and there's a reason for it. Their only loss on the field was to Western, a team that Columbus barely beat.

awesome win. Hillsborough County loves the Kowboys!!

Thanks but I like it better when we aren’t favored to keep that edge. Seem like everyone is now on the bandwagon and this game certainly isn’t a given. By the way, good luck to your Naughts as my posts have been clear on Privates vs Public’s so will be pulling for you.
