It will be a great game for both teams. Bolles plays like a 6 or 7A team depending on how big their O-line is. Corky Rogers is a legend. Last few years they haven't really challenged the big dogs so maybe he thinks they have something this year.

Noted, thank you. Will make the changes.
 
You are correct in both cases.

there is no denying we have struggled lately to make deep playoff runs, most part we get into a game and go cold, but we have the abilty that if we flip the switch, we will be playing in Orlando, bc talent is there, coaching is there, community support is there, and we put in long hours to try to be the best, and we have something those Jacksonville teams cant say, we have a genuine effect on our community, we are out there, we have the whole town for us and backing us, despite the stuggles they are there and we know they will show up on Friday nights, we don't have to be 10 wins every year to keep people coming to our games, we have the love of our community because we are active in our community and we make a effort to be a respectable symbol of both Columbia county and lake city, and we are a program that is well respected, we don't go out there and make headlines for bad reasons, our team has model citizens with good morals and great work ethic, only a matter of time before we finally bring back the championship to a town who has waited for it for so long

I agree with that 
The last 5 years they have made the playoffs (Not Bad) but only have 1 playoff win but at the same time Columbia has only had 4 playoff wins but a lot better over all record (45 & 15) than Ft White at (34 & 21)
At the same time Trenton has went 53 & 8 with 9 play off wins 1 State Championship and 1 Runner up, and 2 undefeated regular seasons back to back  

and so you know, I give madision a ton of credit, I give Suwanee a ton of credit, because they have proven they can compete with us, heck I give Trenton a ton of credit, because they have taken their oppurtunites and became a champion, I respect that, but if I seem to remember correctly fort white hasent done anything when they get to the playoffs, now granted we have struggled as well, but we have made a run before, they cant say that

Newbie here.  Where's this Oxbridge coming from?  Maxpreps ranks them #3 in USA preseason small schools, with Trinity Christian at #1.
They seem to want to step up.  Besides GP. CC and AH, they play 7A Royal palm beach, 8A Deland, Mccallie #11 in Tennessee last year, and 8A American Sr Hialeah, none pushovers for a rookie 3A team.  Better wear their big boy pants.
AH has the tradition, a tough schedule, and gonna be hard to beat as usual.

Give us a good game Columbia we will be watching. Good Luck!

Thanks we plan to. I wish your dade county teams the best. At the end of the day we all fans of football.

I'd be totally down with playing Central. Sure Aquinas and Central would both have something to lose, but I'm about winning state titles. A perfect season is nice, but if Aquinas wins a state championship with 1 loss and that loss coming to Central or visa versa I don't think anyone would be complaining. 

I am going to merge the Classification forums into the main board. I feel it might help some as we get new visitors and members into be able to see all the topic posts in one place. If the need comes for classification boards again, we will revisit this. Thanks!

This is an old post but anyway. The first Miami innercity rivalry starts back in the 20's I believe Booker T. and D.A. Dorsey,(Overtown and Liberty City). D.A.Dorsey would close 1956, Northwestern is built in 1956. Booker T. would close as a HS.in 1969 kids are bused to Miami Jackson. Not to bring race into it,but during the late 60's black folk started to move to north Miami-Dade. Miami Edison, Miami Central, Carol City, Norland. All are neighboring schools with some family ties so its always a rivalry RANKINGS GO OUT THE DOOR!

You are welcome columbiahighfan.  Hopefully I can thank you at the end of the year for assuring me this year's Columbia team will return to it's winning ways! The way you talk about them convinces me they are on a mission this year!

browardhandicapper, u are my new best friend on this page, someone who recognizes that we have the ability to compete, thank you

1. Miami Central - No weakness I am aware of.  Should change their name to The Mean Green.
 
2. St. Thomas Aquinas- Junior QB Allen still a question mark to me, but the O-Line is beefed up and will take care of him. Could go undefeated.
 
3.*IMG- Not Florida HS Post Season eligible and they just got better as you were reading this.
 
3.. Flanagan- Good luck scoring on this team. Defense very physical.  Special teams improved. New QB looking to gel with new O-talent could help Dirty Birds soar to Central Florida.
 
4. Daytona Beach Mainland- Another shut down nasty defensive team.  Other then that, the only team that seems to stop them is Miami Central.  
 
5. Booker T. Washington- I know this team is relatively down, but hard to ignore that streak.  Lots of young, talented players looking to prove themselves among the best.
 
6. Dr. Phillips- Return enough talent to get by Apopka this year which says a lot.
 
7. Miami Columbus- Well coached, well oiled, efficient machine as good as anyone in 8A. 
 
8. Cocoa- Don't let the small team roster fool you.  Could this be the year they finally catch BTW?
 
9. Hallandale- Very good team last year and inherited some Miramar talent.  Might have 20 D1 2016/2017 players on the team.  If coaching is solid, might see Orlando.
 
10. West Orange- Will take advantage of Apopka being down and make a run at 8A States.
 
11. Lakeland- Always wondered how a team in Central Florida got the name Dreadnaughts which are also known as a battleship...Will likely go undefeated and look to challenge STA in Orlando.
 
12. Wakulla- Play in the best 3 team District in the USA.  Return almost the whole 2014 team.  This 2015 the War Eagles may visit Mickey Mouse.
 
13. Manatee- Perhaps the FL west coast version of BTW? Down but not out.... I don't see a FL team beating them until late in the 8A Playoffs.
 
14. American Heritage Plantation- I really wanted to put this team in the 20-25 range but know I will hear it for putting them at 14... QB will be a ?, O-line is down, Top WR gone. Very well coached and have a elite Kicker.
 
15. Miramar- Disastrous season last year but time heals...This team will reload and will look to retake the 8A-12 from Flanagan.  You hope they stay injury free with back to back @IMG and 6 days later @ STA!
 
16. Venice- Should squash every Florida team in their way but a soft schedule could leave them unprepared to go deep in 7A Postseason.
 
17. Osceola- Good enough to play with Lakeland but not good enough to score on STA....
 
18. Coconut Creek- Sorry, I drank the Kool Aid...Not because the 7 on 7s. Because of a BCS secondary, a D1 QB, and BCS Wide Out!  Still have room on their schedule if anyone want's to play them...Any takers?
 
19. Deerfield Beach- Got a few players from last year's talented Monarch team.  After they beat Bolles on 9/25 they will gain some respect...
 
20. Apopka- Well coached but lost some talent...Will struggle to defend the 8A Title.
 
21. Delray Beach Atlantic- I originally had Trinity Christian here but after seeing a roster with 8th graders on it I figured I would replace with a very talented 8A team that might win a couple post season games.
 
22. Dwyer- The party goes on till late November with veteran coach Jack Daniels!
 
23. Lake Mary- One of the most consistent winning teams of late in the State. Defense could be a question.
 
24. Oxbridge Academy- No, this is not a pre-school or choir.... After they win @ American Heritage Delray the state will know the ThunderWolves 
 
25. Columbia- Slim chance of  upsetting Apopka early on....  This team could flirt with post-season play.
 
Other teams worth mentioning that almost cracked my top 25:  Armwood, American Heritage Delray, Jacksonville Bolles, Trinity Christian, Oakleaf, Heritage Palm Bay, Glades Central, Carol City, Clewiston, Tampa Plant, Gainesville, Godby, Vero Beach, South Dade

Being totally honest I would rank Miami Central ahead of Aquinas. With that being said since IMG cannot make the playoffs and play mostly OOS opponents I wouldn't really rank them, but that's just me. 
I also feel that Plant should be around 20-25 with their QB now done for the year....that is a serious blow to them. 

plant is 7A indeed

yeah, its a fight to get back to the top, but our schedule gives us the opportunity to prove we belong

we have a perfect opportunity to prove ourselves, starting with Apopka

I'd like to address a couple of things.
 
Booker T- Need I say more they are BookerT. We welcome the challenge anytime.
 
Bolles-will always be a team up north that shouldnt be counted out. Truth is, we have been waiting to play them for a very long time. Now here is our chance.
 
Cocoa-Our three tries against them we fail to beat them. We want a rematch against. Its personal!
 
Clewiston- I was at the spring game. They wont be a pushover but niether will we.
 
Gulliver- I see a lot of talent on that team and Muckboy561 has a point. I still see them coming to us in the first round. Robert Burns earn our respect that a good thing and a bad for them.
 
University School-???

I agree with Tigerfan. You gotta prove yourself Columbia fan ,but stay postive. We in the same boat. Were climbing up the ranks back where we be long at the top.
 
As for Mr.Cat Scratch,We'll say thats approximately 75% correct in my opinion.

that's alright, everyone keep overlooking us, u all will see, im done talking, we will let our play do the talking, starting with Apopka in the kickoff game
