Some people are idiots. After he said it I hope he realized how freakin stupid a comment it was.

Preciate you putting in the link. I forgot about Laz when he took a break several years back.

Madison got clocked... recovery will take time. I have family there that said it was the worse hurricane they've ever gone through.

Any chance they use the St Thomas Aquinas reffing crew to give them that 4 second end of game field goal try? LOL/JK...

Maybe, just maybe, Piper returns to the days where they were tough.

SOS is truly broken at this point in the season. Hopefully strength of schedule will regain some justification before the end of the season. There is no way more than half the teams have better strength to schedules than say Cocoa. IMG,Venice, Norland, etc... are not easy crappy teams. How does the system justify Bolles and Bishop Verot have a stronger schedule. Unless the system does not factor in IMG, even though they use IMG in the win loss bracket.

Some pics were so close talent and coaching no matter who you picked it was going to be a win or lose pick.

Defense wins championships... Cocoa played a great game but made the mistakes that beat you in the end. Like 3 int's.

IMG is as good as they come. Cocoa has fast team. Not so sure of Cocoa's size compared to the Ascenders, IMG will be super tough. Cocoa can win if they can play 4 strong quarters and not be bullied on either side af the line.

I'm thinking you're right.

Yessir, They are now according to the comp poll. https://thecomppoll.com/

Bishop is rated #5 in the nation and SJB is rated #8. BG was playing their second game and seemed a little better coached, so I can see the win over STA. SJB, a very organized and well coached team, also came to ball. Tough losses for our Florida teams to 2 excellent power teams. IMHO Chaminade and STA both will have to prove they deserve their ranking though. They may have the benefit of last season hangover. They play each other 10/11, which means one will have at least a 2 loss season. They also play American Heritage Plantation during their season, so that will be a tell also. Not sure I would over think rankings this early in the season since it's really just something for everyone to think about, play with.

LOL, senior moment for the double post. I didn't see the first reply post so I sent another one..

It's been many years since I've done a top 25. I just don't have the energy now days. Thank you for your outstanding effort. Most of us older crew appreciate your energy and effort.

Thank you for doing this. I know from the past it takes a lot of effort.

Any News on Location of the Championships yet? Daytona gets my vote.

Off Topic, but congratulations to Lake Mary Little League for winning the World Series. 2 - 1 over the China team in 8 innings,

Florida took a pounding this week in OOS games. Hats off to Bishop Gorman for coming to South Florida to play STA. All were good games even though our top teams lost to national top teams. Can't earn national respect when getting beat head to head against teams about the same caliber. On another note, Florida High Schools will continue to turn the second most NFL players just a few players behind Texas. IMG being #1 in the nation, #2 STA and #3 AHP are the top 3 national HSF programs with current active NFL players.

Hummmm... Not sure that's a good idea.

Would like to bump this.

If you have a Open division, wouldn't it be open enrollment also? So 8 super teams make it to play in a brutal playoff. I'd want to watch the games.

I'm not sure there are 16 teams capable of competing in an open bracket... maybe 5 or 6 teams could give it a good shot and have a chance of winning when STA and Chaminade are hurting from injuries or illnesses. Would the open include IMG? IMG, STA, MC, AHP, and Chaminade would be the real contenders. Then you have teams like Lakeland, Venice, Cocoa, BTW, etc... that get hot some seasons that might get through a few rounds but then STA and Chaminade will always be waiting for them in the semi's... justsayin.

Would you include IMG in the 8?

Cheese and Rice, I feel for the players. Experience is everything in team leadership and coaching.
