They may have exposed Venice a bit. I am still very surprised by the margin Venice beat Edgewater by. Edgewater beat Jones last night 52-49 in a four overtime game. While I am not shocked Venice scored 41 on Edgewater, I am shocked Venice held them to 7. I know what Edgewater's offense is capable of and getting held to 7 does not make sense to me.

Cocoa down 21-7 at half. Comes back losing on a missed extra point.

I assume the extra point was blocked on Cocoa's last TD. Crazy that all 3 games were 1 point wins and a loss.

Obviously, Cocoa is an extremely solid football team; I'm sorry I started to overlook them. Thankfully, both teams had a game like this early in the season. There’s a lot of knowledge to be gleaned from a game like this, where the competition is very stiff and a few mistakes were made. Venice needs to stop playing so much Cover 0. I saw it several times yesterday, and Cocoa made them pay by attacking them up the seams every single time. I saw plenty to smile about from both teams yesterday, And I believe Cocoa should be an early favorite to make the 4A finals. Venice got complacent early and thought they had it when they were up 21-7 at halftime. Some discipline is needed, because Venice has severe challenges approaching in Palmetto, Cardinal Gibbons, and Riverview. Good game, @KeemD321! I’ll be rooting for the tigers the rest of the way. Go kick some butt!

Teams like STA should test themselves against the very best like IMG. How does a team know where they stand unless they go up against the very best? STA plays out of state teams that are in the same ballpark as IMG. At least Miami Northwestern and Central have the tenacity to play them every year knowing that the chance of their winning is not that great. Actually MNW didn't do that badly on Friday.

Cocoa got the Kowboy shoe this time around as we felt the same way losing at Cocoa. Fumbled driving in the 4 quarter in the red zone and at the end dropped an winning touchdown pass in the end zone. Sometimes a single play here or there makes difference between winning and losing.

Another thing to point out is the fact that Venice was held scoreless by Cocoa in the second half. If Cocoa didn't get burned for a big passing score in the end of the first half, the victory very well could have gone to the tigers. Another great game vs another 8A contender.

I was also shocked by the margin of victory more so than the loss. Makes you wonder if Edgewater was missing some key pieces, had one of those turnover games to forget, kids not ready, etc.. Those of us that have seen Edgewater have a hard time understanding how they could give up 41 and only score 7. It is puzzling regardless of how good Venice may be and the very next week Cocoa almost pulls off what would have seemed to be an impossible win.

Looks like Edgewater was a bracket buster for most and Cocoa Tigers almost pulled out a win, so hats off to them for giving Venice a scare. Still early in the season to get a gauge on where some teams truly are. Few more weeks will bring some clarity; this is what we get when talking about 15-18 year olds performance week in and week out.

Um, Riverview and Palmetto should not pose severe challenges for Venice. I agree Gibbons will.

I'm definitely gonna be looking forward to that Gibbons game. Wish I could've watched this game. Definitely will catch the highlights whenever they drop on YouTube. I'm definitely rooting for Venice. Cocoa has another major test against another 8A contender in Treasure Coast.

Those are facts but I definitely foresaw multiple kicks being blocked against Cocoa due to the way Cocoa's kicker goes through his motions. It's very slow. Saw it in the inter squad scrimmage, and all of their games

You're going to need something better than the NFHS Network version. I watched it there and the camera was blurry and zoomed out a mile. Right before the lightning delay, with Lakeland at the LW one yard line, there was a fight deep in the endzone. No clue who was involved, but may have been OL Maldanado. He was apparently benched last week and was pissed, so perhaps he took out some frustration. I wonder if the ejections will produce suspensions for next week at LG too.

haha yeah I caught that after I commented!

Wow! too small, haven't been battle tested? 561 fan Is that what PBL coaches said... 28-7 Keep the Facebook live going! That game was going to get ugly! Need to fix the special teams error during the bye week but Pahokee looked well prepared and coached!!

Gold star for the day, LOL. Lakeland prevails 41-14. I heard some naughty things occurred but I'll reserve comment until I actually watch the game, lol.

True but nobody should schedule IMG Academy even on good days because you'll always be outnumbered. St. Thomas has never schedule them and I wonder why

You see that lol, u must be watching the game on NFS lol

Pahokee putting points up faster than Rockledge did

I can think of at least members on here who would disagree with that

I hope you are right...

I hate to say this but never count out Cocoa. I never really follow Venice but I have follow Cocoa. Plus I want to go against the spread since everyone pick Venice lol

Information on the following games may be available to those in communities throughout the state, but everyone needs to keep in mind, we have one place where we have been instructed to get our football results..... Max Preps. Whoever is responsible for reporting, game results, postponements, cancellations. MUST keep MaxPreps involved. We are supposed to be a premier state when it comes to high school football. Those responsible for reporting game information need to pick up the pace and let the rest of us know what's going on. Anyway, as of 8:15 am, Max Preps had no results for these games. Let's get it together people. Some of us can't wait around until next week to be updated: American Heritage (Delray Beach) vs Dade Christian Belen Jesuit (Miami) vs St Brendan Boca Ciega (Gulfport) vs Largo Boynton Beach vs West Boca Raton Centennial (Port St. Lucie) vs Martin County Clewiston vs Labelle Coral Shores (Tavernier) Palm Glades Prep Douglas (Parkland) vs West Broward First Academy (Orlando) vs Orlando Christian Prep Forest Hill (West Palm Beach) vs Inlet Grove Fort Pierce Central vs South Fork Freedom (Orlando) vs Lake Buena Vista Frostproof vs Okeechobee Glades Day (Belle Glade) vs Jupiter Christian Jordan Christian Prep (Auburndale) vs Out-of Door Lake Worth vs Spanish River Sneads vs Graceville Somerset Silver Palms (Miami) vs Somerset SASH Homestead South Broward (Hollywood) vs Piper South Dade (Homestead) vs American Space Coast (Cocoa) vs Titusville Suwannee (Live Oak) vs Hawthorne Vero Beach vs Viera

When u get a chance, on ScoreStream, go the Deerfield/Ely game & look at the comments of Macho. They’re pretty much denying their involvement with the Covid kid & the fiasco that took place. SMH.
