Sorry Zoe but looks like you blew that pick 😂
 
But since you made pick to support your South Florida team I'll give you a pass

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

I'll appreciate that. It's was a tough lost. We had BTW one more stop could of change the game. To be honest I think BTW slept on GC thinking it was gonna be a cakewalk. The better team won.

I'm proud of my Raiders!

If Glade Central beats Booker T. Muckboy will blow a gasket up in here.....

Glades Central over BTW

Glades Central Raiders will win!

I'm just like Columbia and Dillard I still got faith and believe GC will win I don't care any given day.

Booker T. Washington 0
Halftime

Like I said before BA in a nail bitter 28-21 over Dillard

Hey BrowardHandicapper Dwyer DC said Oxbridge wouldn't score on Dwyer lol

Lol idk about that but actually it's involes Oxbridge. Remember that scandal that happen to them well there was an organization where help and tutors the best football players where the kids play in the Army National All Stars game anyway Oxbridge would let them use the field and recruit the talents right there. So that Oxbridge person is gone. The talents is gone.

Chill lol don't put us in this

My updated rankings for Class 3A heading into week 6.

1) Oxbridge Academy.
2) Jacksonville Trinity Christian
3) Chaminade-Madonna
4) Lakeland Christian
5) Orlando First Academy


Oxbridge jumps to number 1 due to a superior SoS and an offensive unit that's coming together every week. The game against AHD this week should be epic in West Palm Beach.  JaxTCA, despite 2 losses- comes in at #2. JaxTCA, to me, is still the favorite in class 3A until a class 3A team beats them, but Oxbridge is playing better as a unit right now.  IMG plays both teams in the coming weeks.

Maxpreps says Chaminade beat Pace 6-0, but then I'm also being told the game was cancelled due to weather and enough of the game wasn't played to register a true final score. Regardless, Chaminade comes in at #3 this week.    Lakeland Christian and MCC play one of the top games in all of 3A this week in Lakeland. Both LCS and MCC are undefeated at this time. If I did rankings past the top 5, MCC would be at #6. They're playing fast, physical and scoring at will.

Orlando First Academy comes in at #5 this week as they get set to play a much improved Ocala Trinity Catholic team this Friday in another very interesting Class 3A game.


 

Central runs away with it 42-14 final over BTW

I think many feel the same way; however, saying that team A is better than team B doesn't take into consideration the weeks each team has to go through to play each other.  If Oxbridge and TCA played on a random Friday and had all year to game-plan for each other- sure, Oxbridge might be a touch better; however, that's not the world we live in.  Let's be realistic Columbia, JaxTCA is going to walk into Orlando- nobody in 3A North is going to so much as push them. Tampa Catholic will give them a game for 1 quarter in the final 4 and then get steamrolled.

Oxbridge has a gauntlet starting in Rd 2.

Rd 1 vs Westminster Christian,
Rd 2 at Chaminade-Madonna,
Rd 3 at CCC.

I personally think CCC playing at home is the best team in the south of 3A- I'm not the only one, there's a reason they're ranked #1 in the AP Poll. But, if Oxbridge and JaxTCA are playing in Orlando (which could happen), remember that Oxbridge will be coming off 2 knock-down, drag-out wars after 2 long road trips on weary legs while JaxTCA will be coming in more or less well rested having played 3 home games.

So, the question isn't, is Oxbridge better than JaxTCA right now- because if that is the question, you'll never get an answer, just baseless SoS arguments. The question is- is Oxbridge after 2 road trips and 2 wars better than a well rested JaxTCA team who had 3 home games before the finals. I think JaxTCA wins by 2 TD's in that scenario if it were to happen.

It's the little things you have to take into consideration.



 

One of the issues that a lot of people have when discussing high school football is only looking at D-1 athletes and SoS. On this forum for instance, if you took a poll preseason of who was going to win 3A or represent the south- almost everyone said, Chaminade-Madonna. It was so overwhelming that in an overly dramatic way the feeling was "Nobody can beat them, disband your teams..heck they shouldn't have to play a game, put them against Trinity right now in August, then cancel all 3A games.". Now, 5 weeks in, they're a really good team- but nobody bothered to take into consideration chemistry, coaching changes or if the players have played in a big or rivalry game in recent history.

I love Strength of Schedule as much as anybody, but it only looks at the current year and how teams are doing on a specific week. Chaminade was SMART to drop IMG. They were going to play that game in week 11 on a Saturday at 1pm and then turn around 6 days later and play American Heritage or Oxbridge Academy. Now, American Heritage maybe down- but that is still not a team you want to play with 5 days of prep time. Now, if AHD upset Oxbridge. you're talking about hosting Oxbridge 6 days after hosting IMG and that's only round 1 of the playoffs. Very, very few teams could pull playing those 2 teams off in 6 days.

The new Chaminade coach, Damon Jones, smartly realized he's got a winner- but they're going to face a huge mountain going into 3A south with teams just as talented, better chemistry and have already won regional and southern championships. This is why, even when everyone else ranked them #2- I could only rank Chaminade #3 in the preseason.  They're coming along nicely, and will continue to get better- but some battles are better off not being fought.

It's not unlike last year, when I said AHD would win the south. All year, everyone said oxbridge was unbeatable and that they were IMG of the East...yet couldn't figure out why a bigger, faster, stronger and better coached Oxbridge team with more D-1 guys was upset by AHD. Simple, AHD had a senior loaded team that had come up short in the past and was ready to win. 

So, kudos to Chaminade. They're trying to win a state championship and I think it's the right call for that goal.
