I said they would beat IMG as well 

At least I did on the national board

I said they would beat IMG as well 

I tried telling people for weeks on here that Central would beat IMG but because the truth is clearly a foreign concept on this board nobody wanted to listen. People said IMG would blow them away and that Central wasn’t even a threat to them. What a joke. Central is the king of Florida and will easily go undefeated and win the state championship in their classification. They are gong to be unstoppable. I won’t be surprised if they take the national championship either. Congratulations to the Rockets on a strong win tonight. You are the best team In Florida and proved it in a big way tonight! 

Well one thing for sure 
 
There will be open seats on homecoming as our so called "loyal" fanbase and former players are already selling the program out and want the coach fired 
 
Just another day in Lake Shitty, nothing but snakes and liars running the show

IMG lost just as I called weeks ago when I said Central was better 
 
This is why people need to leave the rankings to me and people like Lakeland Gator need to shut up and nod when I talk football because I'm the expert

1) I think that's because the umstead was the starter through the spring and much of the summer and I think the staff is willing to use him if they think it would provide a spark but the issue last night was the OL
 
2) I think that Columbia would have been more aggressive in the early going with setting up a passing game if the field conditions were better but overall based on what I saw with Buchholz they looked to have a strong DL and it likely doesn't change much 
 
3) I think Buchholz is similar to what they were last year when I saw them against Cardinal Gibbons, they are probably a top 25 team in Florida. Columbia has potential to be a top 25-50 team but they have a long ways to go to get there, they were missing a 3* WR and a starting OL still so maybe when they get back it will spark the offense but the biggest thing is Jefferson is a solid QB who can make plays but when you don't even have 2 seconds to make a throw you aren't gonna have a chance to make plays
The Columbia OL needs to play better than that if they want to beat the good teams on their schedule

If they had went by winning percentage to form the divisions you would have had the same teams together most likely but if the state had not allowed the transfers to get out of hand then This wouldn't have been necessary
 
Despite what guys like Luther Campbell said, this wasn't some conspiracy to attack SFL and transfers aren't just a SFL problem it's a rural vs everyone else problem
 
And why is it that Dade wants to say they take on all comers during the season yet want to share a class with Lake Minneola, Baker County and Merritt Island to win state? I thought they would like the idea of actually facing real competition in the finals instead of being able to brag to a camera how it's "too easy" after one TD in a game

ofcourse but being that btw has alot of underclassmen including both rbs who are sophomores, they basically acquired that whole national championship team from overtown as 8th graders & its kinda reminding of a 2011 booker t team that did the same & we all know how that went. In my humble opinion they might be top 5 in 2m but time will tell. they got edison next week then central after which will tell a better story, all in all though watch out for them tornadoes.

Yeah Columbia ran the ball a bit in the first half but it didn't have much success because just as the OL couldn't protect Tyler that well they also didn't create many running lanes as they struggled to block the 2 gator commits on the DL
 
 
So to explain what happened towards the end of the game, apparently what happened is a fight broke out near the Buchholz locker room on the home side and a officer on site used a taser to break the fight up, it resulted in all the fans in that area running and the first thought by the sideline was that it was a potential shooter which prompted the response
 
It may have been an overreaction but it's better to be safe than sorry but yes that was the practiced protocol but I'm not sure how often it's practiced because being on the sideline the movement was so chaotic and messy considering some just ran towards the endzone and others dropped to the ground, fortunately the situation was handled quickly and we were able to finish the game but I don't think it was necessary as they could have ended the game right then and I honestly thought they would because at that point nothing was gonna change with the game and I tuned out of the game when that happened and was just looking forward to getting out of there

Isn't it Gainesville Buchholz ?  I know it's not the Purple Hurricanes   

I hope GW returns one day.  Although he graduated from Manatee, he grew up in Lakeland and we attended the same junior high back in the day.  He would've been at Lakeland had he not moved to Bradenton for high school.  He has a wealth of knowledge as most of this family graduated from Lakeland.  As most of you already know, he has game tapes on Lakeland for days.  Unfortunately, he and his family have experienced severe tragedy over the last year.  That coupled with just living life and there's no telling when he may return.  I wish him all the best. 
Regarding the truth, I only speak on things that have a clear cut paper trail (historical) OR things that I have witnessed for myself.  These days, very little interaction with the Dreadnaught programs as I'm here in Atlanta and don't follow the program as closely as I did say 10-15 years ago.  The last game I attended was Lakeland/Norland in '06 with my wife (Norland grad) if that gives you any idea.
I try my best to not repeat items from people who I KNOW are in Lakeland and close to the program.  In other words I don't repeat stories I've heard, speculation and hearsay.  The only situation I would even mention that I witnessed (in part) is why Lakeland has not scheduled a game in Miami (or S. Fl for that matter) since 1992 but I imagine anyone could figure that one out, LOL.  I could post stories all day about how coaches around Polk county have complained about the Dreadnaught program poaching players for decades.  I can also tell you (or anyone) that I've heard about some "things" happening at Lakeland before I even got to high school as it was never a well kept secret.  The way the game is today with choice, I don't have the time or energy to keep up with that so I don't.  
Regarding other Lakeland posters, I won't bash them as they support Lakeland, LOL.  Whatever their methods are of obtaining info is how they operate.  I'm not gonna question it.  It's entertaining at the least and even if some things can be debunked, I've seen some things that have turned out to be true.  
Thanks for the shout out @ColumbiaHighFan2017class

The only Lakeland posters on these boards who know what the truth is would be @Nulli Secundusand @gwdrum75
