For context, the kids dad was a coach at Fort White for 2 years under Coach Jackson and had Jackson ended up at Columbia sooner it may have led to him following Jackson to Columbia along with the QB

The reality is that had Coach Jackson ended up at Columbia about a month or 2 earlier than he did, Jefferson would had likely been at Columbia last year based on people I've spoken to about this situation By the time he got the job, his dad was already at Hawthorne with a coaching position so he went to Hawthorne

Columbia is waiting to hear back from Wakulla atm If Pine Forest is interested they can call Columbia, Pine Forest isn't a big enough program for Columbia to beg for a game

They have traveled to the Orlando area but the problem is for some reason Central Florida teams never really call Columbia up looking for games and our school is too "tight" with money to go to SFL

Wish Columbo would travel South of Ocala sometime

Pine Forest has week 11 open. Come get some

"he could have easily ended up being a 4 year Columbia player if one or two things had been different a couple of years ago". If he was following his father's coaching positions, the school changes would make sense, especially in a rural area, because his Dad would be his transportation to and from school. If he was bouncing between schools looking for a better team, I would be concerned in recruiting him if I were a college coach. The college transfer portal makes it too easy for disgruntled or opportunistic players to jump ship and leave a program. Changes in residency requirements for high schoolers has disrupted many high school football teams here in the Orlando area.

I think he is trying to rack up wins to make the career numbers look good. Stat padding basically

When he was at Cocoa he would play teams he had a zero percent chance of beating. He would schedule games he knew was an auto loss just to be able to take his team sight seeing. Now with New Smyrna Beach it’s the opposite. The non district schedule has got to be one of the worst in the state. Crystal River Sunlake Titusville Central FL Christian Academy East River Zephyrhills Christian WTF??? That’s horrible!

@nolebull813

Funniest thing is when the matchups end up leading to close games If some of the worst teams in FL can compete what would happen if it was a top 100 or top 50 team in Florida

Ridley PA went 12-2 last year and scheduled to play 0-10 Taravella who lost 91-0 last year. Now why the hell would you think to play freaking Taravella? Why would you pay thousands of dollars to travel and play a team who would get beat by a lot of JV teams? It’s the KSA events fault. They give the applications to the OOS teams and they start with the worst teams until someone agrees to play. But you have to blame the OOS coach for being a puss. And you have to blame the FL coach for agreeing to play a team way out of their league. It’s just stupid to have that mindset

Nice to know at least one team in Colorado isn't afraid to step up

It’s not just the top team. It’s teams that are top 10 in their state and they come here to play glorified junior varsity teams

Cherry Creek was number 1 in CO and they played national top 25 Chandler AZ tough losing 17-7

We wouldn't know because they won't play a top 50 FL team

Maybe you can catch one of the later season games in Lake City then We supposed to have a new scoreboard by the Middleburg game in October which will be the largest video scoreboard in the state of Florida when completed

That FL vs USA event is a different week and I'm not paying a hotel nor watching multiple days in that SFL heat Plus only half those matchups actually would be worth the effort for me

Not true. Their top team can compete with the national top 100.

I’m not going to that dud. Deer Jerkey lost everyone. That will be a blowout. And I don’t know what’s up with AHP playing their first game with the new coach. I would rather head to SFL to watch that FL vs USA event. You should hitch a ride with Josh. lol

Colorado best team probably would get waxed by any FL top 100 team They barely beat our weakest teams

You know if your going to that Valdosta double header game the next day in GA you can come watch Suwannee vs Columbia, I may even see if I can get us cleared to watch from the sidelines

Ralston Valley CO went 9-3 and finished top 10 in Colorado. And they are playing Colonial FL who didn’t even finish top 400 in FL alone Chatfield won the state title in CO and finished top 5 in state. And they are playing Pt St Lucie who didn’t finish top 200 here.

It was hinted at by the Lake City reporter with a quote by the Columbia coaches, they may not have expressly named Suwannee but the surrounding context wasn't hard to figure out who they were talking about when they stated they had coaches texting players to come to their school because they were playing their season already but Columbia was pushing their season back In terms of stealing press time this started when the Lake City reporter picked up the live oak coverage area when the Suwannee democrat shut down and now we have had to share press time with their county teams in our OWN DAMN PAPER Several players, retired Suwannee coaches and even the local media said they would have beat us the last 2 years even though Columbia tried to schedule Suwannee both years and they declined

Yeah Colorado is the worst of this followed by Georgia
