Terrapin reacted to Perspective in Metro/Suburban Plan voted on. PASSED
The plot thickens.
Based on a cursory review of the FHSAA Board of Directors, Lee County has two representatives on the Board, while Seminole County has none. The two Lee County members are Mr. Thomas Kenna (AD at Cape Coral H.S.) and Ms. Chris Patricca (a Lee County School Board member). I'm just speculating, but perhaps the folks in Lee County didn't want to spend their limited post-season time driving southeast to get their butts kicked by South Florida teams on a regular basis and quietly figured out a way to slide into the Suburban group at the expense of Seminole.
Or maybe I've just read too many John Grisham books over the years.

Feel free to disagree, but I think the FHSAA needs to get their act together and cut back from 8 classes to no more than 6 or 5. There is no reason that schools whom struggle to field football teams year-in and year-out with marginally smaller enrollment pools should have to compete with larger schools who have upwards of 3X their enrollment. (I.e, 1A schools like Chiefland, Baker, or Union County having to compete with Madison County.) Or, similarly, even what happened to Hallandale in 5A this year. Looking at all of their transfers, they just can’t compete with the Centrals or even their local rivals due to minuscule enrollment numbers interfering with their talent pool.
I’m not saying that cutting classifications will have massive implications in enrollment numbers, but having more opponents in each classification in an expanded playoff format would increase the likelihood that big private schools or even larger metro publics would have more competition and more even matchups. This would eliminate games like Madison County vs Baker (a complete mismatch,) and replace them with something like Madison County vs Cocoa, or a team like Viera or Rockledge. In my opinion, a much more fair and even matchup for both schools that may even prove to be a competitive ballgame with more fan involvement. Would make HSFB more fun overall and make matchups more worthwhile to see. Just my 2 cents.

Terrapin reacted to 561_Fan in Finals Breakdown
I see READING is NOT fundamental…COMPREHENSION is….this is from HS Football Live’s twitter…NOT MY FEELINGS/VIEWS! I just shared the information from the tweet.
Hawthorne has a 1A enrollment, but when you get 10+ transfers (compare the last 2 years rosters) it is what it is. Madison also has 1A enrollment, but they also can pull from their charter school (who’s #s don’t count for them).

Terrapin reacted to Ray Icaza in Finals Breakdown
Other than the smallest and largest classifications all won by privates (Central Rockets operate like a private). They should have their own league, but maybe I am preaching to the choir.

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

Terrapin got a reaction from SportsNut25 in Destin High hires a football coach! - EG Green.
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.

Is gc in a state title game though?

Terrapin reacted to s1nglewing in Destin High hires a football coach! - EG Green.
Destin will almost certainly be 1A. I've been on the campus and really don't believe there's any way to seat more than 600 students - more likely 300, if that.

Hawthorne trash. Madco by 40. Madco beats every other team in playoffs this year and beats IMG by 14.

This just keeps up with the tradition of powerhouse Georgia teams scheduling the worst garbage in Florida they can find. There are about a dozen of these games every year.
Hell Valdosta played freaking Westside the last 2 years for Christ’s sake

Terrapin reacted to Ray Icaza in Final Tampa Jesuit 37 MNW 12
Among many other reasons, you just brought up another strong argument for separate public/private classifications. No question, even if they are supposed to be playing under the same FHSAA rules it ain't so.

I was only kidding man I wanted a reaction. In all seriousness though, I think Madison could at least keep up with Venice on a really good day. Maybe they could schedule each other next season?
