  1. All good DB4. Thx for the updates... You may have got Mighty a little excited if he was browsing the forum though!
  2. That likely is the case. I thought it might have been Archbishop McCarthy or something but surely did not look like Dillard in the clip I saw.
  3. I saw some clips of that game...Are you sure that was Dillard playing Norland? Dillard looked like a whole different team. Uniforms, players and all...
  4. You always know that weather @ FloTech!
  5. True. But you can say that about all professions, forms of entertainment and aspects of life. Many communities may look entitled to the outside world. For me personally it would be hard to call FL public school coaches (HC and assistants) who are basically volunteers -entitled. As far as coaches go....being entitled usually does not mean working sometimes 8 hours a day, some working 10 months a year, sometimes being outdoors over 100 degrees- generally all for a little extra gas and meal money. In fact, many public school coaches may actually be closer to the "struggling to survive" category vs the "entitled" category of society. At least fiscally anyway. Underpaid and underappreciated IMO.
  6. Thanks. Did not know her, but from what I gather she may have actually been working outside when this happened. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/parkland/fl-sb-fatal-lightning-strike-20180516-story.html
  7. Rain usually won't cancel football. It usually takes thundershowers... Unfortunately, a woman was struck and killed by lightning yesterday in Parkland. Mother Nature is always boss.
  8. Here is the original PB County Spring schedule courtesy of Jodie Wagner and the PB Post: http://highschoolbuzz.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2018/05/07/football-2018-spring-game-schedules/ Not sure if any changes have been made with the weather which appears to be starting off to another rainy day.
  9. Same.... It can't get much uglier though at this point. Saw "Standford" Samuels was still listed as HC on Maxpreps page and roster looks about 2 years old. Seems like the entire infrastructure all the way up has lost appreciation for the 5 year run ...Well, they always have a elite baseball program to tend to I guess. When one is making decisions while building or trying to maintain a program, one should never underestimate or under-appreciate ties to the community such as local youth leagues etc... Is it fair to say when a mass amount of players and coaches leave a program with perhaps what they feel was bad taste or poor decisions they have the ability to severely pay back or punish in a subtle way (directly or indirectly)?
  10. 2020 LB Benjamin Peacock has transferred from Flanagan to Miramar.
  11. Miramar lost nearly 40 Seniors including their QB and 4* WR Dominick Watt who will be playing for Scott Frost at Nebraska...They had over 20 Juniors on the 2017 roster and will likely get a few in from surrounding schools. Miramar's best upcoming player in 4* 2020 S/DB Henry Gray transferred to Miami Central a couple Months ago. Miramar is probably going to need a few things to happen to catch up to the 2017 roster.
  12. 3* 2019 DE/TE Miles Dickens transferred from Stoneman Douglas to Deerfield Beach
  13. Trying to be optimistic for the Bucks and state the positives..Just saying that public school speaking they consistently are pretty loaded.
  14. Do you remember you used to always refer to Sanford as Stanford?
  15. Well Columbia you are the guy that called Sanford Seminole "Stanford Seminole" for a couple years.
  16. But you gotta give them at least a little credit for continuing to keep the rosters stacked as a public school in Broward. No public school has been doing it consistently as long as DFB of late in Broward.
  17. Well although Deerfield Beach has struggled in the post-season they continue to have be talent loaded on a consistent basis. That is a public school that keeps a lot of talent home and even pulls in talent for several years now. With another loaded roster this year they are so overdue. Could this finally be the year for the Bucks?
  18. A good sign with Coconut Creek thus far is they appear to be keeping their kids home this year. Seems like only a couple have transferred out and they have a lot of 2018s returning. Coconut will not be at 2015 form, but I think they could be a worthy first round type 5A team in most parts of the state. Will likely struggle to make the playoffs in a tough district.
  19. Those coaches better be careful: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/high-school/fired-nj-football-coach-wanted-white-players-field-article-1.3965363
  20. It's spread out but surely not Fort Lauderdale. I would say the West Hallandale, West Park, Hollywood, Miramar and Pembroke Pines area which is the South/Southwest part of Broward is the most talent rich area but like ZoeBoy said it is spread out all over. Deerfield Beach, Plantation and Pompano obviously are loaded and little Coconut Creek produces some players. West Fort Lauderdale has some pockets as well but overall per capita Fort Lauderale is not producing what it used to from the 80s and 90s. For whatever reason Fort Lauderdale is still a broad word though. University School and Archbishop McCarthy is often referred to as located in "Fort Lauderdale" when they both are way out west in Southwest Ranches (neighboring Cooper City) http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/archbishop-mccarthy-mavericks-(fort-lauderdale,fl)/map.htm University School is in central Davie : http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/university-sharks-(fort-lauderdale,fl)/map.htm
  21. Broward publics were stacked with good teams and talent in 2015. Flanagan, Hallandale, Deerfield Beach, and Coconut Creek's graduating 2016 class alone probably produced more D1 talent then all Broward publics combined over the last two years(2017, 2018). Monarch 4 WR Core from the 2015 class was probably one of if not the best WR Core from Broward ever. Calvin Ridley 2016 (Alabama), Riley Ridley 2017 ( Georgia), Jerry Jeudy 2018 (Alabama), Shawn Burgess-Becker (Alabama ). I have stated my concern for 2015 being a significantly stronger year for Broward publics then what we are seeing these days. I hope things can change slightly and it just takes a few great coaches willing to go to publics that may right the public ship again.
  22. I believe Dillard's players back in the 80s and 90 were mostly homegrown in that zone. Things change I guess. Dillard was a longstanding public power then as was Ely.
  23. This concept that Fort Lauderdale and Dillard is some mecca of football in Broward is archaic. True historically but far from the truth in this century. Like it or not, most of the talent is the youth leagues in Broward is South/Southwest and spread out even to North Broward more so then what Fort Lauderdale produces now. Back in the 80s and 90s it was a different story as there was no one living out west and there were no youth leagues out West. Fort Lauderdale was nearly half the population of Broward County then. By the way that Fort Laudedale Hurricanes team probaby had as many kids from Davie as Fort Lauderdale on it. That team was basically a PPO team with kids from Pines/Miramar and Dade like you said.
  24. Not back in the day... but of late? Absolutely! Most of Dillard top players last year were inbound transfers. Dillard has some in house talent but nothing like back in the day.
