I'll wait and see 6a and I may give him a hard time directly Depends on my mood at the time LMAO

Darter, it shouldn't be that difficult . . . Take 429 to I-4 W, then get off on Exit 33. Should take you a little over an hour.

He'd better be a Blue Darter, or he gets left out of the will!

A close friend of mine and big a supporter of HS football passed away a few weeks.Steve and I spent countless hours attending and critiquing football at all levels over the last 16 years. The conversation would usually carry over to the bar or restaurant afterwards. Steve loved supporting local sports, especially Robinson High football, baseball, etc. He also was somewhat of a historian, with a memory like an elephant. Talking to Steve would sometimes transport you right back to childhood when we were discussing local sports legends and the places we used to haunt as kids. He remembered everyt

Cocoa has their new QB1 in the transfer from Holy Trinity who put up some great numbers last season. Also helps that he's playing on a national 7v7 squad coached by former Cocoa player Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

I’m glad we play Columbia ever year ... y’all always give us a good rest no matter if we win or lose I love those games!! and it doesn’t make any since how many schools are in Jax and we can always barely fill our schedule

A native of Queens, N.Y.; coached at Syracuse and in Minnesota. I haven't done a ton of research, but I don't see any Texas connection at all. Here's one thing I did find interesting. Here's Acosta's quote from a little over a year ago when he got the head job at IMG: " And I see this, to be honest, as my retirement job. It might be 10 years earlier than I wanted this, but I’m 45 years old, and you spend the next 20 years down here ... this place is just going to keep on growing. We’re going to talk about a junior elite team. You don’t know where this can go. I see this as a final d

Just want to wish everyone here a safe, happy, and blessed occasion on this Easter. Too often, it seems that we forget the values of family and tradition, especially around the holidays. Hope you all enjoy this wonderful occasion, God bless.

We just got in a Power 5 WR 5 foot 120 lbs and runs a 5.4 40. He is power 5 if he grows a foot adds 60 lbs and drops his 40 time by a second. Other than that he's not bad.

Nah 69-0 Madison County

Ok Paul Heyman lol

If that High School Football highlights show returns, could we make sure that the blond lady returns to co-host the show as well? lol

I have no idea what is going to happen there. Can't even begin to tell you. All I know is I would love to see it return like the rest of you. A decision that can only be made by those that have the power to do so. I miss it as much as you all do.

If I trusted you, I would. But I think you are a conman! You do have one redeeming virtue: You are a good, loyal fan of the game.

JOSH, if and when I have sufficient market riches, I will provide a big subsidy to the site! If and when being the operative factors!

I didn't know you could leave someplace before you ever even got there.

Perhaps this can be a single thread for us to keep track of transfers. The quality of recruiting done by a H.S. staff and the team's players tends to make all the difference in what kind of team is put on the field. In Polk County, which I follow closest, it appears there is more talent dispersion than in the recent past. Lake Gibson is at least as loaded as Lakeland, if not more. Bartow has players. Kathleen figures to have a few. And the small private schools in Lakeland-most obviously Victory Christian, whose staff is dominated by Dreadnaught legends- has a lot of good players. Lake Wa

Edward Waters College announced a new coach... former Dillard Coach Toriano Morgan https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/sports/ewc-introduces-new-football-coach/77-9dd8c223-97a6-4453-8ced-6a275935c4cb

Madison county elite in South Florida or Jacksonville with Mike coe and company.

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing. May he rest in peace but never be forgotten by those who knew him and benefitted from the experience. It seems he was a true fan and supporter of his community.

There were some D1/Power 5 kids at Pahokee/Glades Central this year, but they didn't come into the season with the recruiting hype, and with Covid killing the summer camp curcuit they didn't the exposure needed. Also, with the NCAA granting an extra year of eligibility, some of the kids got squeezed out. These next 2 years, both schools should send multiple kids D1, Pahokee has a strong JR class and GC has some good OL.

Lot to take in here, @Perspective, and it certainly is interesting to see how things played out geographically. All Josh, no helpers on this project! Though he doesn't take help on this project, I am aware of the process so I can speak on that some. It all starts with the solicitation of nominees from coaches around the state. I couldn't tell you how many coaches nominate their dudes (and some nominate dudes from other teams) but I know it's alot. (Granted, if only 100 teams nominated players that only be 25% of the teams.) All those nominees, with stats, go to a spreadsh

A big part of the problem is the smaller population at the "Muck Schools". A lot of the Palm Beach County Power 5 talent came for GCHS and Pahokee.

As long as OJ is there and he can keep his staff together? They’ll keep winning. In some ways, city schools have a huge advantage (more people = more possible athletes) but also a huge disadvantage. I’m sure they have nowhere near the stability of a Columbia nor do they have the community support or funding. In fact, I’d consider Columbia a better job than Lee

Valdosta just lost their coach, star QB and stud WR. And that’s minimum. It could be a mass exodus soon. Hope Mad Co has an airtight contract or Dosta might try and drop them for Hamilton County. Lol

Tampa Plant announced today that they have removed the 'interim' title in front of Hank Brown's name and have formally named him the new head coach.

Not if they are named Columbia

That he was....Best instincts, smarts I ever saw longterm in a linebacker.

They will certainly compete right away. Great program, great coach, and sounds like kids will be following him to Mainland.

It will be very interesting to see how zones in Lakeland are re-adjusted to alleviate overcrowding at GJ or if capacity is added. Least likely will be renewed plans for another high school in SW Lakeland. It's weird to hear that LG has more talent than Kathleen. I'd never thought I would hear that statement based solely off the draw pools in the core of the city. What's really starting to sink in more so now than in years past most is the more dominant programs are playing in 1 of 2 classes which would make it really difficult to send multiple teams to state championship without beating the

I will tell you what, a Lawyer who gives driving directions in his spare time? Now that is one exceptional human being!

Yeesh! Monster spring game jamboree just added, May 21 at Venice: Lakeland - Charlotte Venice - Lakeland Charlotte - Manatee Venice - Manatee

It's not shade, It's reality I'm tired of listening to their fans spreading lies constantly and claiming they all home grown talent and bash teams like TCA when TCA probably gets as many transfers in an entire off-season that Lee got in a single day and those were just the ones reported A lot of the Duval media cover up how many transfers these publics get each off-season so they can act like the teams are doing it with home grown talent as a way to justify their publics never being good enough to consistently compete at the state level

Dang, ColumbiaHighFan, I'm don't think I've seen someone throw this much shade on Robert E. Lee since Sherman marched through Georgia. Did they snatch up some Columbia County players? Just curious.

Tell your coach to hit up coach Tate & let’s set it up

IF they even get that far. Lee has a habit of losing clutch playoff games.

The kids look like me there, I look like the kids there. That was a big appeal. what does that mean? white kids? mexican kids? italian kids? black kids? german kids? asian kids? if thats not a strange statement for your opening newspaper article, idk what is.

Not surprising, whenever someone gives me that line, my guard always goes up. If you are honest, you don't need to say, "to be honest." Your word is your bond.

Miami central reached out to us because of the type of program Dillard has become, last I checked the rockets don’t reach out to an opponent that’s gonna be a cake walk, they’re always looking for a tough challenge week in & out. & regardless of any previous matchups we are in 2021, we back down from NO ONE, win or lose, these are the EXACT type of games Dillard need to play. #Letsssgoooo

I know that the FHSAA considers the two terms to be completely different, but often they are one in the same.

Send them madison way please

Hey Josh are you doing another High School Football TV show on this upcoming season??

Horizon is mainly drawing from Windermere. Not exactly loaded with football talent but really good at other sports.

I know I am around Orlando and there are two new schools opening in August. Lake Buena Vista and Horizon are in the same District so they're fielding Varsity teams. There's also Davenport High opening in Polk County.

I heard Columbia is supposed to keep TCA on schedule but I haven't been able to lock down a specific week yet but I did hear madison and columbia are supposed to be week 8 or 9

Don't worry, Columbia will shut Madison up this year

Since the thread I started went south and got flagged!! Smh, I decided to start a new thread and hopefully this one can stay civilized. As We All Know The New Classifications Are Out & Quite A Few Teams Found out their Classification & Districts Have Changed. Notable Changes: MIAMI CENTRAL TO 5A DILLARD to 7A with st Thomas in the same district as STA, Miami northwestern back to 6A.

How's Miami Central looking for the up coming season?

You know something Jesse? I agree. But this thread had nothing to do with Madison County, Venice, or St. Thomas Aquinas. It was @THIS_IS_DILLARD ‘s first time posting on this board in nearly a year, and it was a post about him being excited about his teams upcoming realignment for the 2021 season. You called them a bunch of black hole boys (which is a derogatory racial slur, by the way), and talked Ill about the team that he cares about so much. You didn’t even express sorrow for the fact that his friend, Eddie Frazier, passed away at such a young age, and called Dillard garbage. No kind words
