LOL. A blowout is worse than a heartbreaker. At least PF can walk away knowing that they were not outclassed or outmanned. After the shock, they will be fine. It's ALWAYS worse for the team that's blown out. They can never live that down.

embarrassing Hell of a game. Pine forest left a few plays on the field and had a kickoff return called back. They had a chance to win and let it slip away at the end. Proud of the way they went and competed. A lot of folks swore it was a wasted trip and would be a blowout. Congrats to Jesuit.

Great game, props to Jesuit for making game winning stops inside the 5 yard line on two separate possessions (8 plays) with time running out. A score on either of those possessions would have cooked their goose. Prior to those stops, another great play by Jesuit was tracking down another Kickoff return that appeared to be going for a TD and stopping the runner on the 5 yard line. Pine Forest did have playmakers and the ball bounced their way most of the night until the final 4 minutes. Congrats to them on a great performance.

What happened to sixty something to zero?

Hell of a game by Pine Forest! Even with a lost they made the city proud! I'm letting all of y'all know if these kids in Pensacola ever click up at one school with the right coach, they coming for whoever come out the south.

It was good to see team champions from Jacksonville, Madison, Venice, Tampa, Ft Laud, Hollywood, & Miami. Crib boy said everything runs through Miami-Dade but actually they were in 7 classifications & were eliminated in all but 1 class. Jesuit beat down the 305 & beat 954. Hillsborough had 3 terrific teams in the finals! Pine Forrest went under the radar & out played Jesuit, but didn’t outscore them. Venice made Apopka look outmanned with their strictly run offense. Gibbons & Cocoa was a tremendous game. Chaminade ended the season as good as any team in the State. Aquinas smothered TBT early. Rockets, Dade’s only champion were exceptional! Whata great season....it simply goes by too fast.

Bye Jesse...I said real smoke! Valdosta finished 4-6 and smoked y'all...smh!

Jesse, I think that you should take Dan's advice and show some maturity. Pine Forest has NOTHING to be ashamed of, and anybody who doesn't realize that should find another sport to follow.

You just said Panhandle teams ain't no good. Tell Madison to go schedule some real smoke...not just no sorry big schools. Aquinas, Miami Central, Venice...hell IMG if you feeling big and bad

Hey man 4A calling y'all name!!! Let you tell it Madison County best team in the state. I know y'all tired of beating up on scrubs in 1A

Jesse, remenber what goes around comes around. Show a little maturity young man... losing hurts

PICK.....turn out the lights, this party is over. Jesuit 35 Pine Forest 29 Best of all FHSAA Championship games....

QB continues to carry the load on these option keepers. He ran 5 straight plays before a RB got a carry and then QB run for the TD. Big props to the PF OL as they are opening up lanes for him.

Pine Forest QB, Wilson is singlehandedly making all the plays running and throwing. His receivers have dropped 3 or 4 passes in the first half that could have kept drives alive. He is definitely a load and only a Junior.

PF 15-14, :12 till half

They played Clearwater academy who beat Vero Beach and gave chaminade problems. Check them out. Also lakewood. Valdosta who would give all them teams problems big facts they run this country. So yeah madison do this buddy

Smart-Aleck comments will NOT get you an autograph.

Pine Forest giving it their all! Much respect to them.

PF, has a big bruising QB

Pine Forest will be receiving to start the second half and if they can keep doing what they have been doing we will have a great finish.

They did call back a kickoff return for TD by Pine Forest on a questionable holding penalty, but luckily it didn't cost them as they were able to regroup and drive the length of the field with time running out and score to take the lead after a 2 point conversion.

Damn Jullian! You beat me to the punch. Miami-Dade compiled an overall 16-10 post season record excluding the times when they played themselves, LOL. To build off your post, below is road that each champion and runner-up took to make it to the finals and the counties they had to defeat to get there. 8A Venice - Champion Plant City Hillsborough Riverview (Sarasota) Sarasota West Orange Orange Columbus (Miami) Miami-Dade Apopka Orange Apopka - Runner Up Creekside St. Johns Bartram Trail (St. Johns) St. Johns Seminole Seminole Treasure Coast (Port St. Lucie) St. Lucie 7A STA - Champion Atlantic (Delray Beach) Palm Beach Miramar Broward Homestead Miami-Dade Buchholz (Gainesville) Alachua Tampa Bay Tech Hillsborough Tampa Bay Tech - Runner Up Largo Pinellas Palmetto Manatee Wharton (Tampa) Hillsborough Lake Gibson (Lakeland) Polk 6A Jesuit - Champion Boca Ciega (Gulfport) Pinellas Braden River (Bradenton) Manatee Hillsborough (Tampa) Hillsborough Northwestern Miami-Dade Pine Forest (Pensacola) Escambia Pine Forest - Runner Up Rickards (Tallahassee) Leon Riverside Duval Mosley (Lynn Haven) Bay Jones (Orlando) Orange 5A Miami Central - Champion North Miami Beach Miami-Dade American Heritage (Plantation) Broward Killian Miami-Dade Baker County (Glen St. Mary) Baker Merrit Island Brevard Merrit Island - Runner Up Leesburg Lake Rockledge Brevard Satellite Brevard Sebring Highlands 4A Cardinal Gibbons - Champion Pine Crest (Ft.

Jesse do you even watch football or do you just look at the names that hold weight from past success and just look up their past schedules from the past 20 seasons and pick the one year they had their greatest success or played teams that also have names that hold weight

How does Madison get a pass when they don't play in their rightful classification. Hell they could atleast play down in 3A or even 2A. You claim to be all about Madison but when they were losing last week you were coming with all the excuses and blaming coaches. But now all of a sudden they're the best this state has to offer lmao humble yourself cause you've already admitted you're not even a true Madison fan and hate on your actual school. Have Madison line up against Chaminade, Gibbons, Pine Forest, Jones, Apopka, Venice, Cocoa, Merritt Island, Niceville, West Orange, BTW, Gulliver Prep and etc.

Madison still Beats anyone so it doesn't really matter

Temerity is the right word. Exactly what I was thinking at the time. No way I give my sophomore QB the ball after already throwing 4 interceptions. Apparently the coach has a lot more faith in that kid than I had at that point in the game. The guy doing color commentary for Spectrum seemed to think Jesuit was going to run down the clock and kick a field goal to win it...which made sense...but is always risky in high school football...but letting that kid throw the ball was even riskier! Geez. Glad I wasn't really rooting for Jesuit or I probably would have had a stroke. Lol.

Can anyone believe how difficult it is to do what Jesuit did stopping Pine Forest for 4 downs inside their own 5 yard line twice within the last few minutes of the game. What kind of a tough and disciplined defense is that? And then to have the temerity to score via a passing play to win the game after 4 interceptions against you during the game. Wow.

All right. Thank you.

Check they schedule buddy and look at they 2016 team. Valdosta played national teams man. Nobody in Florida Is a threat to them they could beat anyone. This Valdosta man Valdosta

Little Sally was lost in the woods. Pine Forest lost in final few minutes of the game. This loss makes the trip home even worse. Jesse never has a loss for words when interjecting Madison into a conversation.

That's to be expected and I expect them to. In the eyes of time, although PF lost, no one can ever look back on tonight and say that PF got their asses kicked. That's something to be proud of considering they were considered by most to be the underdog.

No just guessing on what was going on.

Pine Forest fan report to the comments please. Heartbreaker I say this feels better than a blowout bc yall thought yall had a chance. 1,000 mile trip home don't forget refund on way out. Jesuit state champions. Pine trees runner home

PF QB is a MAN

PF Pick

Ouch!

Jesuit TD PF 29-27, 11:18 in the 4th

end of 3, PF 29-20

They got away with an illegal formation on the TD with only 3 in the backfield.

Jesuit QB just threw his second pick of the half instead of running the ball and PF made them pay with another TD on a long run from a back up RB.

Agree. Jones was a quality opponent. Pine Forest should have gotten more respect

Good for them. I wonder how Jones must feel now. They were an extra point away from winning that game with a couple seconds on the clock up in Pensacola.

What were you saying? 15-14 halftime Pine Forest

Anyone at the game? Or watching it on spectrum?

PF top rusher (#4) is might be out for the game. I've been told by a few people he got injured against Jones and is in a walking boot. Another running back (#22) has a knee brace on so not sure how effective he'll be.

Jesuit beat STA. Panhandle school no chance 67-0

Sounds like Dillard is building quite a squad for next season. Gotta play some tougher comp outside of the district though. Cardinal Gibbons, Miami Central, Northwestern, and maybe a trip to Venice is in order too..?

Oh dang... I miss his posts.

They have Edgewater 2109 talent!!! Do you have a time machine Darter?

I'm going to go with Pine Forest, primarily because I know little about them and figure they may be better than any of us realize. But I don't give them much of a chance. TBT's win over Lake Gibson was diminished some when I realized after the fact that LG played without Jevonte McClendon. He was a key part of their secondary, and could have made the difference in stopping the QB runs for TBT. LG also was without McClendon vs. Lowndes, which was the only other game LG got run on consistently. They had McClendon for both Lakeland games and Edgewater. IMO, the best Tech can do is what Edgewater did the last couple of years: lose but be competitive in the process. Merrit Island is terribly outmanned and has no business being on the field with Central.
