Cocoa cleaning up on the transfers. Looks like the new coach learned a thing or two from his time at STA

Just when you thought it was safe....35-0 Central...RUNNING CLOCK!

But na tho it’s litearlly been over 5 years I been on this thread and I just want to let all y’all know I appreciate y’all man. If you got Instagram or Facebook please don’t hesitate to follow and inbox me who you is lol. instagram: dam.debo.u.so.daddy (don’t judge lol) facebook dexter living testimony green. all in all tho I’m blessed to see 27!!

Would Plant have made the playoffs this year under this system?

There will be no selection show. Brackets will start to drop at 7 AM ET on Sunday Morning. I will be up early to be ready to handle all of this for you all to read.

University School threw multiple interceptions early in the game, 2 in the first half, 1 in the second half on drives they were moving the ball. Bishop Verot was up 6-0 at halftime. In the second half, the Uschool passing game finally got on track and provided separation. Uschool won the second half 21-7. I admit that we got this one wrong. Bishop Verot appears ready to be a force in their region with their athletes. There are some good video highlights and commentary of the game on the Ft. Myers TV station. I don't have a link but watched it yesterday. This might end up being a bigger win for Uschool than first thought.

Whoa how do you leave an elite academic institution like Jesuit for a garbage ghetto school like Gaither? Talk about having your priorities out of whack. my kid goes to Gaither and it sucks. Our old address is zoned for it so we let him go. We are pulling him out at the end of the year. He only goes because it’s close to my job and my little ones school. Not worth it

Those Miami Central RBs are special. I didn't get to see the game last night but I was at the Palmetto game. Those MC backs kept running off-tackle plays and breaking tackles one after another. Palmetto was in position alot/most of the time but those MC backs were never brought down by the first defender.

This guy is just an angry, poor sport. There is no basis to anything he says and he should just be left alone to spew his vitriol. If Edgewater, Jones and Apopka lose this week it is because they got beat by better teams. I know that all three will give it their all representing the Greater Orlando area. I wonder what NB will say if all three win. Wait, I already know: STA, MNW and Columbus were all garbage. Florida football sucks! Once a loser, always a loser. I will leave it at that ...

I was running a simple update to the boards and apparently because I was a couple of versions behind, the whole update system failed which meant uploading manually to the server via FTP. Well one file got stuck going that route never wanting to update properly no matter what I did so I had to wait until Tech support responded with their help and finally just solved it not long ago. I apologize for anyone trying to access things last night.

First of all youre addressing the wrong person besides GC already handle Madison County in the State Championship remember lol

Wow what a game!! What a game!! Ft Meyers came in and punched Dillard square in the mouth hitting us left & right with the Wing T something Dillard has not seen all year long they ran it out of so many diff formations & sets you could tell their very well coaches & disciplined. It was 21-7 fort Myers after the first Quarter with some major adjustments needed to be made for Dillard to keep their season alive. for the rest of the game Dillard held ft Myers high scoring offense scoreless their only score came on defense when Dillard was driving at their 10 yard line only for us to throw a pick 6 to make it 28-28 at half instead of 35-21 or at worst if we didn’t convert 28-21. in the second half both defense were solid but Dillard dropped a ton of open passes on bombs that should have been caught. In the 4th qt Dillard took the lead for good on a running td to go up 35-28 on the green waves next drive they threw a interception deep on our own end ..we kneeled in victory formation but coincidentally ft Myers had all 3 time outs when they called 2 earlier in the Qt. On 4th down at our own 4 Dillard took a intentional safety to get better kicking position which put ft Myers at the 30 mark on their next drive Dillard held them to 4 consecutive incompletions to move to (12-0!!!) for the first time since 2000!! And moved to the third round for the FIRST time since 2001!! And next week our fans our county get what we have wanted ALL YEAR A REMATCH at a chance for revenge against the rockets!! im so dam proud of this team the coaching staff my voice is half gone ...the resiliency if this team is AMAZING to get hit in the mouth like we did tonight against a type of offense we haven’t seen at all this year and we made adjustments and preserved... REGARDLESS of what happen the rest of the way this year has been special being doubted all year being ranked behind teams who is home right now and to be 1 win a way from our FIRST state semi appearance since 01 is just awesome yo!! @Wavebb even tho we didn’t get a chance to meet up get home safe man and you guys came to play your coaching staff is legit you guys have a great team. As for my panthers!!! WERE STILL HERE WERE STILL HERE!!!!! 12-0 babbbyyyyyy!!!

Oh hai guys and girls! In honor of the playoffs heating up, Brad and I decided to put together some information and look at round 2 of the 3A playoffs. We've posted stuff on twitter for general consumption, but wanted to go a bit deeper into things since we've been told (we know!) that conversation about small school football is hard to come by. We also wanted to put some points out there in response to other conversations from around the state. Random things we've been meaning to comment on! --> JaxTCA lost to Ocala Trinity 23-21 in round 1. We'll give OTC their due further down the page, but outside of the Pensacola Catholic loss in 2012, this has to be the most disappointing loss for JaxTCA in years. Let's be real, nobody wants to play JaxTCA, so they had to play one of the toughest schedules in recent memory. There was reason for hope when they defeated Raines in week 11, but the damage had already been done prior to the playoffs starting. JaxTCA entered the playoffs with more bodies on the sideline than on the field. We expected JaxTCA to roll through the playoffs, but it didn't happen. While we think the 2020 JaxTCA team has one of the highest talent and athletic windows in the state, it's also going to have to play another impossible schedule. --> We no longer live in a world where rankings can be based soley on records, but we also don't believe that just because a team plays a tough schedule they should be given a pass. Like a healthy diet, everything needs to be in moderation. We aren't suggesting 3A teams go play STA every week, but we aren't saying to load your schedule up with 4-6 teams who beat other 4-6 teams either. This has been a hot topic issue all year. --> We like the RPI system, but it needs tweaks to the OOWP. We have been in favor of combining 2A and 3A for years. Many 2A and 3A teams have natural rivalries and it doesn't change the geography of the state. Okay, now let's look Class 3A Round 2. Note, there are two predictions. Ours on top and the Maxpreps Prediction. We did NOT look at Maxprep's predictions prior to making our picks! Lakeland Christian (8-1) hosts Melbourne Central Catholic (4-6) LCS started the season off slow, but picked up momentum and has won 7 in a row. MCC has had a rough season this year, but did manage a victory at Frostproof. The Hustlers are balanced on offense and somewhat stout on defense. In their loses teams have had success running the ball. LCS has been rolling after a week 2 loss to Bishop Verot. LCS was always our pick to come out of region 2. MCC fights hard, but LCS gets the W. LCS by 14 MP: LCS by 9 Pensacola Catholic (10-0) vs Ocala Trinity Catholic (8-2) Rumors of OTC coming back to power were murmured in DM's, watercooler talk and noises in the night. After defeating JaxTCA the rumors have been verified, OTC is a legitimate football team again. Jamarian Samuel has been a superstar for OTC rushing for just over 2,200 yards and 23 TD's. We watched OTC vs Calvary Christian and even though OTC came up short on that night against a very good Calvary team, we knew they had potential to be great. Pensacola Catholic is having the season expected of them. They're 10-0 with a hefty senior class. They have a couple of good wins to their name, but no marquee wins. This is a hard nosed, tough football team that can harass quarterbacks. Catholic has one heck of a homefield advantage in this one. OTC has a 5.5 hour drive (One way), but if they can overcome the early emotion should pick up their second stellar win in a row. OTC by 7 MP: OTC by 1 Chaminade-Madonna (8-2) vs Somerset Academy (8-2) The 2x defending state champions start the playoffs against a good, but over matched opponent. Somerset isn't technically a bad football team in relationship to what their aspirations are, but Chaminade is simply better. The Lions won't need it this week, but they will need to continue to develop Brady Allen and Alexander Law at QB for next week. Also good news, the Lions are pretty much 100% healthy at this point outside of Willie Moise. Kudos to Somerset for a good 8-2 record, but this is the biggest mis-match in all of the small school games in Florida this week. Chaminade by 49. MP: Chaminade by 26 Miami Edison (6-5) vs Calvary Christian Academy (9-1) This game is a poster child for throwing out the records. Calvary is having a great season and did pull off quality wins over Benjamin and Miami Christian, but Miami Edison has played some of the best the state has to offer including Booker T, Northwestern, Carol City, Naples, Miami Central, Coral Gables. Edison has taken some losses, but they did manage to compete in some of those games and even pulled off a win over Carol City. Calvary has taken a few steps forward, but even with some lopsided losses we're going Miami Edison. Edison by 14. MP: Edison by 4. Benjamin School (8-3) at Bishop Verot (8-2) This should be a good game as the Bishop Verot Vikings are having a good season this year having defeated Lakeland Christian, Tampa Catholic and North Ft. Myers. They competed well, but came up short against American Heritage and always tough Uschool. Benjamin School hasn't been shabby themselves, their win over a good Cardinal Newman team last week was impressive and the Buccaneers have been consistent all season. We think Bishop Verot has to much speed for Benjamin School, but the Bucs will make this a game. Bishop Verot by 10 MP: BV by 10 FSU-DRS (9-1) vs Episcopal School of Jacksonville (10-1) On paper this game should favor FSU-DRS and Qb Willie Taggart Jr. FSU's only loss was to super tough Madison County, Episcopal School was blown out earlier in the year by Baldwin but avenged that loss last week 35-25. This is a high quality match-up, but we're going FSU-DRS in this one. FSU has played a significantly tougher schedule. We just think they have the passing attack to open this game. FSU-DRS by 20 MP: Episcopal by 20 Berkeley Prep (8-1) vs Clearwater Central Catholic (8-3) There are many individuals around the state who feel that this Berkeley Prep team can win class 3A this year. They have a devastating 3 pronged rushing attack lead by one of the better linemen in the state Zach Perkins, a stout passing game and a defense giving up less than 10 points per game lead by one of the top linebackers in the country, Jaylen Harrell. Dom Ciao, the HC at Berkeley is one of the best coaches in the business. They have home field advantage against the teams they need it against and they also have a 21-14 win over CCC. Of course, that win was in week 1. To say CCC has gotten better since their early season losses to Tampa Jesuit, Berkeley and Brentwood is an understatement. They are 8-1 since starting 0-2. They do hold wins over Clearwater, Uschool, Sebring and a rout of Tampa Catholic. CCC has clearly played a tougher schedule at this point. We pegged Berkeley facing Calvary Christian in the regional finals playing a classic and surviving. Part of this is because we also felt Berkeley and Calvary were far and away better than the rest of the region. CCC put a running clock on Calvary in the third quarter. Berkeley is better than Calvary, but they aren't playing better than CCC right now. Still, Berkeley has had 2 weeks to prep for this match-up and that will be the difference. Berkeley by 10 MP: Berkeley by 3 And because we have friends at Tampa Catholic! 4A! Tampa Catholic (6-5) at American Heritage (5-5) Tampa Catholic started off the season on fire at 2-0 and winning by a combined 78-14, then they faced 0-2 CCC who finally got healthy and was run off the field. That can be forgiven. TC then caught fire and won the next two games 125-0. They then lost to Berkeley Prep in a game they were down 21-16 with the ball under 2 minutes, but couldn't convert. Then they lost Winter Haven, then they lost to Bishop Verot and for the 20th consecutive year lost to Tampa Jesuit. The point? TC is very good at running the score up on bad teams, but not so good at scoring against good teams. American Heritage is a good team that could be very good if not for being bit by the injury bug. TC doesn't really have a signature win, but they have levels of competitiveness against good teams. Outside of the CCC game, they were at least in every other game until the 4th quarter. My understanding is that AHD is finally healthy which doesn't bode well for TC. This is a shame because on paper, TC should be one of the top teams in the state but clearly something is holding them back. AHD by 14 MP: AHD by 4

As you state above, "Oh and only losers who get no pussy would ever bash someone because the team or teams they like aren’t doing good at that time". Hmmm! Seems like you're the one always bashing other people's teams. Guess we now know who's not getting any and why he always bashes teams that he never sees play an actual game. Try using your left hand, it may help with your frustrations.

TBT may keep it competitive for a half, but I would expect Lakeland to pull away in the second half to set up the East Hillsborough County All-Star Team vs. Polk County All-Star Team show down in the Regional Finals.

Rockledge @ St Ignatius (OH) Calpreps has St' Iggy's rated at 32, while Rockledge cracks the top 100 at 93. I'm especially interested in this one since it is my HS Alma Mater. Yes, I transfered from Cocoa to the Rock in 71 when they opened. My loyalties are with both schools.

Wow, this Madison/Columbia smack talk is pretty intense!

As a UCF Alum, I'm all about them claiming a stake in the National Championship because they caught lightning in a bottle. The problem with scheduling is that Power 5 teams won't schedule UCF. That Stanford game was scheduled years ago and they just played it. Can you see a team at the higher end of the SEC or ACC scheduling UCF? Not a chance. It's a tough spot for UCF because when they lose a game, they were over-rated and had no reason to be there but then they win and it's "That Pac-12 team was soft. Pitt is at the bottom of the ACC." Or, from the other side of it - beating UCF doesn't do much for a Power 5 school other than a win over a ranked opponent. But, say a team like Oklahoma or Florida schedules them and UCF wins? Then they get legitimized and it hurts the Power 5 system in general. I get the fact that people don't like that they proclaimed themselves National Champions. But, people disrespect the dominance they've shown over the last 3 years and try to sweep it under the rug. As football fans, which we are, that's just being boneheaded.

I already took a FSU fan redshirt last season

Translation: Now that I have kids, Friday night is date night. And my wife has made it clear that if I want to have any shot at getting a little nooky, I best not spend my Friday nights out watching high school football games.

nope I declared myself champ. Last weeks totals were never totaled and I passed you. You can claim co champ or you can claim a UCF championship.

1.Cocoa 2.STA 3.miami Central 4. Raines 5. Jacksonville Trinity Christian That's my top 5.

I remember attending this game on a bitterly cold Saturday Afternoon in December. This was the last year that the state title games were in Daytona Beach until this year. What an upset. I could be mistaken, but I believe that the Bolles FB was injured very early in this game, and didn't play anymore. I remember going home from this game and watching the VCR tape of the Bill Parcells Patriots coming back to beat the Dan Reeves Giants 23-22, which was being played the same time as this game.

Xavier Lee was a monster in high school. He could throw the football 80 Yards. His primary target was Eric Weems, a NFL player up until 2018. But his high school success was also greatly enhanced by the system he played under. Coach Marc Beach (Spruce Creek grad) brought the Spread Offense to Daytona Beach in the late 1990's. He had played DB at Valdosta State and stayed on as a grad assistant under offensive wiz, Head Coach Hal Mumme. Greats Lavell Edwards, and Rich Rodriquez are generally credited as the architects of this passing system. With four spread wideouts, five counting the RB, opposing DB's were lost as he checked down looking 1,2,3,4,5 on who was open. It wasn't until years later that the defenses caught up. Pressure in the QB's face doesn't give him time to check down past the 1st or 2nd option. Forget about the 3,4,5, QB is on his a$$. At the time if Mainland had that system, with it's athletes, they'd have won several more championships. Beach has been the OC at Tift County(Ga) for several years now ($$$). I played ball with Xavier's dad Willie "Foot's" Lee at Bethune-Cookman. Tried to post a photo of us together, but my computer skills are bad!!!

That 2012 Plant team was VERY good. I was at Lakewood at the time, my son was on that Robinson team. That Robinson team beat us twice that year, and is probably the reason we did not win a ring while I was at Lakewood. Any Plant team other than the first and last year of Coach Weiner's term was a very formidable team. I have only been on the winning side of the scoreboard against Plant once, and that Tech team was loaded. Plant may not have had as many pro prospects as some other programs, but they were strong, physical, disciplined, and always believed they could win. They played hard and beat many teams that were more talented than they were.

MC fans treat this like the first rule of Fight Club. ..First rule of 1A football, is to not talk about MC being in the wrong classification.

Just don't think Ft Myers as good as you make them out to be. But we are getting closer and closer to Friday Dade vs Broward so we will see what happens.

it’s gonna be funny on Friday... 3 good games gonna be on that Friday night with da west vs AHP , Booker T vs Cardinal Gibbons and Roc Boys vs Dillard... I’ll be at the Central game and the whole Broward ain’t talking about Dillard.. Maybe from sunrise up lol... @topnotch305 from that video I already see what your talking about lol

If you see wave tell him the Tampa Casino's new expansion is complete

Whoever had Cocoa ranked 12th in the nation at any point in history should quit ranking teams for the rest of their life, and delete any trace of that incompetence. Cocoa is a quality small team that would compete well with publics around the country their size. They always got credit for just signing up for the auto losses. But anyone can do that. That’s not impressive. Beating the teams is impressive. Hoover isn’t even that good on a national level and they had the 2nd and 3rd stringers in killing them. It was the most embarrassing moment in their history. The varsity Getting beat by an average teams JV team. Lmao! Cocoa is local. And with 12 transfers per year they are a little better than that and not much else!

Exactly how many times did you attend Edgewater games this season? They beat Jones, Wekiva, Winter Park, and Bishop Moore this season. Edgewater, Seminole (Sanford), and Jones are very good Central Florida teams that should be playing in semi-finals in a few weeks. Final four in your division is not a fluke; it takes a good team to get that far.

Jambun, do you have any examples of this from past games? I'm just curious.

Easier said than done these days... you can thank the Florida Legislature for HB 7029 several years ago for loosening up transfer rules.

I'm not even a fan of LW, but this is obviously a Lakeland guy feeling threatened that he ever so precious dreadnaughts aren't the only good team in the county so he's trying to downplay other schools.

Thanks Columbia for ruining my perfect pick em!! Lol

Dang... missed the week... was making a major comeback too lol

It doesn't matter I'm already the Champ. You are playing for the fake UCF title.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/01/28/feature/baltimores-st-frances-academy-has-a-football-team-so-good-no-one-in-its-league-will-play-it/ st Francis article. Good read

Man that's embarrassing for Carol City. Nice win for TCA. What is up wit Carol City? Players give up on the season?

Damn Pahokee! Don't be the Miami Dolphins of the Muck!

The biggest issue is that the districts cancelled school. When they do that, they cancel all activities associated with the district (including practices). I’m in Central Florida and it’s not bad here at all but it’s a tall order to get back to school on Thursday (at the earliest) and try to play a game Friday or Saturday. It becomes a bigger headache if there’s a team from another county who can’t play when you can. No coach likes the Monday game (especially with District games getting ready to start). It sucks for the kids most of all because they lose out on a game if the one they miss isn’t rescheduled.

Winter Park is loaded at the skill positions. Ethan Pouncey has committed to Texas where his brother is playng WR. Starting QB Casey Case has a big arm and has committed to play for Buffalo. One of their WR's is committed to Miami. Another top prospect, Dakota Mitchell, had a pair of 70 yard TD's against Lyman last weekend. Winter Park has a half dozen D1 prospects with tons of speed at all the skill positions. They play Wekiva this Friday in their opener,. After seeing Wekiva in Spring game against Bishop Moore and watching several WP practices and scrimmages, I expect WP to win by at least 20 points over Wekiva. Maybe then, they'll get some recognition in the 8A polls.

Will be in a few months

FOH you think they beating GC lol

That MCC game was crazy.

Been working a lot! Bout to slide into work as we speak!

Pahokee was up 28-0 on Ely, before putting in the backups and won 28-20 ...up next Pahokee vs Deerfield Beach
