Man that was wild. Definitely wondered about the decision to go for 2 early on. I get you want to convert to 14, force them to get TDs. but i would have just played it conservative. Niceville defense is crazy. I hope Bocchino goes and balls out at Troy. Props to Lakeland, and good luck against the beast in STA.

They should have just did a coin flip to determine the match ups.

Damn I forgot about this lol

STA and Chaminade still in their positions despite the losses to other powerhouse programs?

Yea I would like to see any team from the panhandle be competitive, but several factors make it nearly impossible for a team to be competitive every year for a chance at state. The best one can hope for is Niceville or one of the Escambia county teams making a deep run. Like Pine Forest did a few seasons ago. But winning is a tall order. Baker did clinch a title though. And small schools are the only ones who may have a consistent shot at winning. But big schools have a tall order at winning a title. I still enjoy the spirit of football as you mention. Go to any Niceville vs Crestview game, and their stands are packed to the gills.

You know, they should divide the regions up and do championships like this: Panhandle. Central. South Florida. North Florida. Then the best of the best play in a champion of Florida bracket to determine the best team in Florida.

I don't get why there is a paywall for the high school championships.

Calling a 60 yard FG? Wowzers MI

Destin High has fielded a football team, and E.G. Green will be the first head coach of the program. There were rumblings years ago that they might get a high school... and now they have a football team. He was on the 1991 FWB team with Danny Wuerffel. The state championship game is on YouTube. Green has a TD at 2:26 in this blast from the past. - Played under Bowden in the 90s for FSU. - Drafted by the Colts in the 1998 NFL Draft. For classification, I don't know the enrollment figure, but Destin is smaller than FWB. I would assume 5A at the highest, but we will see closer to when they get added on.

I like the idea of it. Athletes are putting their bodies on the line for this game. They have to get a cut of the pie considering the crazy salaries for Kelly, Cristobal, etc.

Madco getting blown out

It should make for a good product on Netflix though!

A Panhandle team is in it! Pine Forest going for it.
