MarkECannon, thanks for the compliment. My board name pretty much sums it up, just like everyone else here, @imjustafan2. I've been a fan since the mid '70s, when my older brother played, then late '70s when I started high school and was a trainer for the four years I was there. I've continued to cheer and support my high school, Cocoa, ever since. Even after I moved to Tennessee 16 years ago. Florida High School football is the best, for better or worse, you gotta love it. I've droned on long enough.

Well it was a coin flip. As I told you in my last PM, I was 10 minutes from heading out the door to drive down to Florida when I saw your message. No second guessing, it is what it is. Funny won it straight up, congratulations to him.

Congratulations to THAT S--T WAS FUNNY.

True. There's a lot of great, close match-ups I'm on the fence for a few of the games, already. Good luck, THAT S--T WAS FUNNY, not that you'll need it.

Thanks, especially when I get them all right. Not.

Rural - Hawthorne 1A - Cardinal Newman 2A - Bolles 2A - Cardinal Mooney 3A - Raines 4A - AHP 4A - Jones 5A - Lakeland 6A - Armwood 6A - Buchholz 7A - Lake Mary Forgive me, my alma mater. If you win, then hooray for you.

I know what you mean, I'm a Cocoa Alumni, from way back. Cocoa had a rough start with all the young players, but they seem to be coming together at the right time. They have a big challenge with Cardinal Mooney this week. Their game against Norland was the only time I didn't pick them. I will probably go with Cocoa this week.

LAZ, you said it yourself, you go by your formula. So if that's true, I'm going to miss 3 by my current picks. But I am still flipping that coin to help me figure out my picks. Thanks for the work you do on the Index.

Well, here it goes. I guess I'll go first this time. Rural - Blountstown Rural - Hawthorne 1A - University Christian 1A - Carrollwood Day 1A - Cardinal Newman 2A - Bolles 2A - Cocoa 2A - Immaculata-La Salle 3A - Eau Gallie 3A - Northwestern 4A - St. Augustine 4A - Jones 4A - American Heritage 5A - Mainland 5A - Lakeland 5A - Manatee 6A - Buchholz 6A - Armwood 6A - West Broward 7A - DeLand

I think I'll find a new coin to flip to get me through the next round.

Thanks, done.

You're not kidding, on the Matchups. I was about to do a coin toss to pick a couple of them.

According to MaxPreps, Goleman won 65-8.

If I counted right, I'm sitting at 15-4 for the first week.
