They could lose 1 or they could lose 3 or they could win them all.  We had all the pieces back on Defense last year and that unit is pretty intact for their final year, so that is a proven group.  QB play is always important and I think Gunner will do a very good job unless someone else beats him out.  That said, we will run the ball much more effectively this year than last with all key OL returning but 1 which will make the play action pass more deadly with the talent at receiver all returning.  Success in running the ball is key and last year the OL was a huge question mark with only 1 starter returning.  That is not the case now so expectations are extremely high.

I am not sure who the QB (Gunner?) for Osceola will be this year but if they are able to fill that void with solid QB play.
With most of the pieces coming back, especially on Defense i see them going 9-1 with an early L  to either Seminole or Lakeland. 
 

2022 KOWBOY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Just noticed that Coach Pinellas posted this on the Kowboy FB page.  So looks like they were able to finalize the game with Rockledge for week 5 to compliment a very strong lineup from Spring Game and KOC thru the upcoming season other than the mandatory District lineup. 

2019 madison was pass heavy too. Madison would match up very well . But madison last year or year before losses.  The talent on offense is rock bottom.  Their 2019 schedule proves they were elite. 

Jesse, its all about matchups. That year Vero beat Osceola in the regular season, Osceola was down one score to Vero until Osceola starting QB Mascoe ended up getting hurt. Vero beach cruised from that point on, not many teams are winning games against top teams with there starting qb out.)
 
Vero beach beat/crushed Osceola (whatever you want to call it) in the regular season and then lost to Miami Palmetto.
Miami Palmetto then lost to Osceola in the state semi's.
 
Madison would not match up well with Osceola, especially if Madison is still a run heavy team.

Doesn't look that way so was disappointed as was looking forward to the rematch.  Week 9 team will have to remain a mystery till it is firmed up.

Looking forward to it.  Columbia was in talks for week 9 but now it looks like a different top tier that is a lot closer but holding off announcing till finalized. 

Thanks for that, i totally missed that.
And you are correct Im rolling with Apopka

Def Recommend getting a NFHS membership 10.99/month. Pretty much the same as going to a game but you can also catch the other games as well.
Just going to throw my referral code if interested...

Just seen this, sorry about that. Yes, Chad Mascoe transferred in from IMG. And has been playing great, I really want to see how they do against a tough team like Edgewater.

Huge games!
Hopefully they live up to the hype like Jones vs Apopka.
 

All should be good games. Jones is coming off a come from behind win over Apopka and should be able to win again this Friday against Wekiva. Osceola won easily this past week and should give Edgewater a fight. Edgewater hasn't played a game the past two weeks because of the virus and may be a little off their timing. I expect this will be the most competitive game in Central Florida this Friday where two of the very best are going at it. I think Apopka will handle West Orange, especially after losing late to Jones. I don't know much about Flagler Palm Coast, but Seminole is probably the 2nd best team in Orlando area after Edgewater. In my opinion, Osceola, Jones, and Apopka are not far behind Edgewater and Seminole. This is a big weekend for Orlando area.

Huge games!

@HornetFan this is for you! 
 By far the majority of the top games this coming week or in the Orlando area.  I got this off of a list assuming that these games haven’t been changed around or canceled. 
Wekiva vs Jones 
Osceola vs Edgewater
West Orange vs Apopka 
Seminole vs Flagler Palm Coast 
 

Updated Central Florida schedules.

Osceola's updated schedule now has Edgewater and Vero beach.

This is correct, Chad Mascoe from IMG has come back home to Kissimmee. 
I have not been able to follow Osceola this year as much as previous years due to Corona, but this years team with that QB addition will be a problem!

Sept. 4 set as opener but most won’t play that soon

By Buddy Collings (Orlando Sentinel)
After months of deliberation and debate wrapped around the coronavirus pandemic the FHSAA approved Friday, Sept. 4, as opening day for Florida high school football games last week.
But only a handful of Orlando area teams, all from private schools, plan to play that soon. Central Florida’s public school districts will not start football seasons until the week of Friday, Sept. 18, when Seminole County and Volusia County teams are permitted to open. Osceola and Lake County football will kick off the following week.
Multiple sources have told the Sentinel the Orange County Public Schools district is also strongly considering allowing football games on Sept. 17-18. But that decision may not be made official before the OCPS school board meets again Tuesday.
Sept. 4 games in the revised 2020 schedule include Orangewood Christian at Foundation Academy and Faith Christian at Mount Dora Christian. Those are matchups of schools in the newly-formed Pac-8 coalition. “The kids are really looking forward to playing,” Orangewood coach Bill Gierke said Thursday. “Two weeks ago, they thought we weren’t going to be able to play. They thought the season was going to be called off.” Gierke, the area’s all-time wins leader with a 302-122-1 career record during 37 seasons, said he has never seen anything like the impact COVID-19 has had. “At this point, I’m just glad the kids are getting an opportunity to play,” he said. “If they get to play eight games, I think that would be awesome. You can’t predict what’s going to happen. None of us can.”
The FHSAA approved Monday as the start date for official practices. That means teams that play Sept. 4 will have a maximum of 10 practice days if they use a Saturday. No live contact is allowed until Day 6 of practice. “It’s a quick turnaround. But from a physical standpoint, a strength standpoint, I think we’ll be OK,” said first-year Mount Dora Christian coach Mike Kintz.
Seminole Athletic Conference openers include the Lake Brantley at Lake Mary rivalry game on Thursday, Sept. 17. Reigning conference champ Seminole is tentatively set to also open that night at home against ancient rival DeLand. The Seminole County Public Schools District requested no athletic competition be held on Friday, Sept. 18, in observance of the Rosh Hashana Jewish holiday.
If Orange County mimics the SCPS football start date, its first week slate will include a short road trip for 2019 Class 5A state runner-up Jones High to play at Bishop Moore, Orlando’s Catholic high school, in a clash of familiar district rivals. That game is tentatively set for Thursday, Sept. 17, or Friday, Sept. 18, pending the OCPS decision.
Other openers that week for Metro Conference schools, if approved, could include Dr. Phillips at Boone, Hagerty at Timber Creek, Winter Park at Orlando University, East River at Wekiva, Lake Nona at Cypress Creek and Olympia at Windermere.
Edgewater, last season’s 7A state runner-up, was scheduled to travel to play Louisiana power John Curtis Christian on the weekend of Sept. 18 at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, La. But Louisiana is not starting its season until Oct. 8 or later.
A number of football coaches told the Sentinel on Thursday they are still working to lock down an opening game. DeLand coach Steve Allen said his team’s cross-country rivalry game against Daytona Beach Mainland, which was originally set as an August season opener at home, was rescheduled to Oct. 16. Mount Dora, Tavares and Eustis dropped games against Bishop Moore since district games are not mandatory this year. That leaves Leesburg as the only Lake County team the Hornets will play. Bishop Moore has six of its eight available game dates filled. The Jones schedule is also likely to be impacted if the same Lake County schools have dropped the Tigers.
The revised FHSAA playoff system, forced by the coronavirus outbreak, will for the first time allow every team that opts in to participate in the football state playoffs, which are scheduled to be contested during a span of six weeks, from Nov. 13 through state finals on Dec. 10-12 and 17-19. Umatilla coach Charlie Cerney said his team, like Tohopekaliga, is opting out of the state series. The Bulldogs have eight games lined up and may add a ninth.
Most of the public school districts that are permitting Sept. 4 football games are in smaller counties, mostly in North Florida, where coronavirus numbers have been relatively low. But the list also includes several Southwest Florida counties, including Sarasota and Charlotte.
