Columbia’s gonna kill them! Hope we beat IMG too

@ColumbiaHighFan2017class We are approaching March Madness and we are finishing up Championship Week. For many of the small schools, the conference tournament is the most exciting portion of it all. March Madness is something they can compete in, but they will take pride in winning in that conference championship because they are facing "like-minded schools" and that is what it comes down to.

Some sports have/had county championships which are/were prestigious and a lot of fun to attend/participate in. A team may not have a legitimate shot at a state title, but winning the county championship could be the next best thing. Teams across various classifications competed against each other. Am not proposing that for football. Just throwing out an example I was reminded of by this League....a goal to aim for outside of a state title. ...anything to generate excitement, I say.

The word on the street has always been that a number of well-healed Lakeland fans were upset with the FHSAA over the way the FHSAA handled a couple of transfers/investigations . . . so, they convinced State Senator Stargel to introduce the school choice bill in the Florida legislature. The key to getting the bill passed was to make it look as generic as possible (i.e., equally applicable to band members, thespians and athletes alike), but there was no doubt that the intended purpose was to squeeze (if not punish) the FHSAA in retaliation for the perceived mistreatment of the Dreadnaughts. Once the legislation passed, the FHSAA didn't have a choice -- they had to amend their rules to comply with the new state law. I'm sure that Ms. Stargel and her constituents were all patting themselves on the back a couple of months ago when Lakeland (with all of its 'school choice' transfers) won the 7A State Championship.

Columbia won't hesitate playing IMG in regular season, they just haven't been able to work out the dates when they tried to

Hope y'all pull it off again

I’ll say Dillard vs glades central ..these two have had quite of few battles with each other

Wish it would have counted

COLUMBIA BLOWOUT!
