LOL Pahokee could always move back to 3A and that would fix the travel problem in 1A,    

With Oxbridge, Cardinal Newman, American Heritage-Delray, and Village Academy...That's to much recruiting for Pahokee to deal with..The travel will switch next year

Cat, that's more then 350 miles. Same as tonight's Navarre at St.Augustine game. I'LL bet Rhode Island teams don't have that same problem.

I agree, They play together and remember who is who and when they get to High School they like to band back together. I don't bash anyone for transfers if it's all according to the rules, I just don't like when someone gets a little funky because one of the schools gets a lot of transfers to even the playing field and someone pops off with they're tired of getting their ass whooped so they load up on transfers. Of course they are tired of getting their ass whooped. Of course they want to even the playing field. And of course they followed the rules in getting transfers just like most other schools.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 

Athletes came to Cocoa because they wanted to play for a good team and possibly get a scholarship in a sport they love to play.
Cocoa doesn't need to recruit. Some good Athletes want to play for a winning team. I know many schools that have transfers in other sports that enrich their teams. Cocoa has a great football program. They develop athletes in every area of football.
 
Tell me Booker T doesn't get transfers. Tell me Miami Central doesn't get transfers. Tell me most of the better football programs do not get transfers. Name one really good school that didn't get transfers this year. Just one.

I would like to be the first to wish everyone on this board a happy thanksgiving
 
 
This is a fall holiday that encourages people to come together and celebrate a years of fulfilment and start the holiday season and the road to the new year
 
 
Hope everyone has a safe holiday and a great feast

This is going to be a train wreck, Way to complicated!!!!! 

Here is a scenario for you that could happen.  All the really bad independents join back in.  The worst 10 teams agree to be in a conference together.  So lets say
 
Landmark Christian Haines City 0-6
Merritt Island Christian 0-7
Lake Mary Prep 1-8
Wildwood 0-10
Master Academy Oviedo 3-7
Orangewood Christian 2-8
First Academy Lesburg 4-6
International Community 4-6
Halifax 1-6
Avante Academy 0-4
 
come to an agreement to all play each other.  Halifax is the highest rated team according to Laz index at 526 in the state.  Someone in that conference will probably go 10-0 and make the playoffs and still really suck.  

Pahokee was the better team and won the game, but Trenton had just shy of 400 total yards with over 300 rushing. Without 5 turnovers it may very well be Trenton hosting Madison this week. Pahokee will be hard to stop on offense but their defense is nothing special at all.

You said the same thing about Newberry and Trenton, Both moved the ball very well, Trenton just could not stop Pahokee and there passing game. Pahokee may very well win the Championship because they have a very talented group of receivers and real solid QB. But Madison is a Quality team as well.  

Yes it is a huge stadium lot's of seats,  

One Game at a time Columbiafan 

I am going to pick Trenton to win in a close game that could very well come down to the last play. Trenton 21 Pahokee 20. Who ever plays better on Defense wins.  

Trenton over Pahokee by 2
 
While Trenton and Newberry's run game philosophies are similar, Newberry ran the ball this year with brute force where as Trenton's run game thrives on discipline. This game is going to be nasty close and I'm going with Trenton because those boys know how to compete and win a dog fight.
 
However, ultimately I don't think its going to be Trenton's O or Pahokee's D that determines this one. Trenton is going to move the ball and they're going to score points. What its going to come down to is can Trenton contain Pahokee's athletes on offense. Discipline offenses win games through time of possession and field position, but an offense loaded with athletes can score quick and often. If it came down to it I don't think Trenton can win a shoot out. If Trenton can't contain their athletes on the offensive side of the ball it could turn into a long night for the Tigers. It should be a classic!

Well Slick, it's like this. I'm an older gentleman. One among many alumni to have followed the program for many many seasons. Only Lakeland High has a longer running playoff streak among public's then Mainland, 24yrs vs 23yrs. I know how good this diehard fan has had it. Sure it's tough running into one of the top teams in America year in and year out. In '04 and '06 Lakeland did the same thing in the semi's over there. To be in the mix on a yearly basis trump's all the ups and downs. I couldn't be more proud of the players and the coaches and what they have accomplished. They'll get another title. I just hope to be there. Bucforever.

So it took 5 years but finally there appears to be competition for Armwood.  It's all Armwood's fault!   So let's bash and blame Armwood for that!  Let's not bash the 37 other teams that have been playing poor football for 5 years in Regions 1 & 2.
 
Now let's get to the truth of why it is personal with Armwood for you.  Jealousy.  You are jealous and angry  that Armwood has had what appears to be an easy ticket to states every year, right?
 
 
I understand how you think....
 
 

I think Trenton can pull it out, It seams like the game with the most at stake Trenton turns it up a notch and plays faster and more physical than they would against a team like Chiefland or Bell.  

I bet you would! 

I would love to see a Ft White win over Madison, 

Last year is last year Columbia we are moving forward and looking for a win one week at time!!!!!!!
