Well their 2014 team was their best team since they won States in 2004 with now Southridge HC Billy Rolle. They have been a very inconsistent program, but if I am not mistaken there is a trend of late with Killian being a feeder program with their top players landing at Southridge. I'm not saying that had anything to do with Killian HC Javi Valdez (hired in 2015 after 2 years as HC at Mater) leaving Killian this summer for Somerset Academy though.
Everything you said is true. Killian will always have talent, but lately with so many coaching changes, they can't keep their players.

Very true. Southridge on the field did not live up to what was on its roster.
As it was, they barely won the 8A title in a game where they were outplayed for three of the four quarters, by a team some would argue was lucky to get to the title game.
South ridge was and still is loaded with a ton of athletes with D1 offers, but most of them are on defense. The skill positions on offense are great, but there's only one football and they didn't have a quarterback to get them the ball so the offense was inconsistent all year. Expect more of the same this year, but they'll be fine. They'll keep most of their opponents under 14 points.

In Dade County I think South Dade will bounce back with a big season and I also think Miami High will surprise a lot of people this year.

Coral Gables adds 2020 RB Frank Gore. Gore previously was at Westminster Christian of Miami.
Does anyone know if he's any good? I'm assuming that's Gore's kid.
Gables also added Andre Stringfield from Southwest. Looks like Gables is loaded at running back.

Coral Glades 30 Pompano Beach 0
Did anybody hear anything about South Dade vs. Coral Gables @ Tropical on Thursday?
Gables won 13-7
Both teams will be tough this year in 8A

That being said, Vero better be ready or Oscar Smith will embarrass them.

Any high school in Kendall

The open borders crap is fiction. You can't transfer if you the schools are at capacity.
Technicaly that's true, but most schools here in Dade County are NOT at capacity. Even if a school is at capacity, they'll accept someone who will help their athletic teams. It's up to the principal to allow the student in the school. A star football player that wants to transfer in will not be turned away.

Keys Gate put up a good fight, they also played BTW close when they played a few weeks ago. They also beat Belen this year. On the surface all of this might not be that impressive, but consider that Keys Gate has no history in football, other teams view them as a scrimmage and they are led by an 8th grader starting at quarterback named Torrey "Scooter" Morrison. Several of the top high school programs in Miami have reached out to Scooter and his family because they want him to come in to their schools and start next year as a freshman.

You are forgetting that they also manhandled st. John Bosco who is either the first or second best team in California, a state of 40 million people. The only team in the country they can hang with Bishop Gorman is IMG. Perhaps Centennial Corona could hang with them as well.
Gorman is much closer to STA than to IMG. Sure they recruit, but nothing like IMG. Booker T went to Vegas three years ago and beat them over there, so they're not unbeatable. I think STA will beat them this week in a close game.
As far as Mainland, sure they have a good chance of beating Central this year, just like they had a good chance the last four years. At this point I think it's a huge mental game with Mainland and their coaches when they play Central.
I also think Central's schedule is much harder. Mainland just has to worry about Dr. Phillips (who they beat) and Cocoa, where Central has to play Norland, Booker T, Carol City, Jackson, and Northwestern. By the time the playoffs come around, Central will be battle tested after going through their own district. Mainland's soft schedule hurts them.
-
do you think BTW or STA could beat IMG?
Yes, I think they could. But if I had to bet money on it, I'd go with IMG.

I hear ya Pipe Dreams...I have been preaching 8A 2016 South will be significantly down now for 8 months. The 8A Palm Beach teams seem to be doing what they are supposed to be doing but the Palm Beach 8A champion has not scored a single point in the post season since 2013 when entering the 3rd round. As for Broward and Dade the 8A concern would be of Southridge and Deerfield Beach. They struggled with teams that they should be beating soundly. Columbus played a pretty good Jackson team and won and Flanagan played a very good Oxbridge team and lost a tight game. Those teams get a pass because they are down and probably played to their Week 1 ability. It is just where they are at for now. But again, Southridge and Deerfield Beach seem to be the eye openers at the moment.
There are a few other 8A stragglers out there that I am curious about that might be better than we perceive. North Miami Beach might be one....
The good thing is since 8A started in 2011, it has been pretty balanced with the regions and we did not really have any major blowouts at states. Keep in mind also that we are basically 3 1/2 months away from Orlando so lots of things can change in 14 weeks. But if you asked me right now, I would tell you that it there is a better chance the North takes it this year.
Southridge looked good in their preseason game and then surprised me by struggling with Edison. Maybe Edison is better than expected? Time will tell. Southridge is definitely loaded. Dade should come down between them and Columbus.
Like you said, we'll have to keep an eye on NMB. Very impressive preseason game and week 1.
-
Not nessesarly, he asked why I felt BTW or STA would be better chance against img then Grayson so I answered FL > GA
Grayson is loaded with talent. Three years ago they beat Miami Central when they had both Cook and Yearby 35-3. Central couldn't move the ball on them. My point is, that IMG win over Grayson is a lot more impressive than people are giving them credit for.
And for the record, I don't think any team will beat IMG by 10 or more points.
-
Not necessarily, STA still got big games left, remember last year DLS lost week 1 and won every game after and made it back in top 10, if STA blows everyone else out they still can win the national title
STA is not winning the national title now. No way. No team with a loss has won the national title.
-
Oh don't worry they won't blow out Bishop Gorman or Booker T. Washington
I really hope they don't blowout BTW. They embarrassed BTW last year, I hope one year makes a big difference. I would love to see BTW take them down.

@DarterBlue2 I don't know the reason why any public schools don't have a stadium but as of present day it couldn't be possible. For starters where's the space for one. Take Palmetto and Killian for example. Both of these schools are in middle to upper-class neighbourhoods, so funding wouldn't be an issue just the space. Now let's take Northwestern out of Liberty City and improvised inner-city black school. Funding for a school like Northwestern isn't allocated for a stadium even if it's space. Then again something I just thought about is Columbus has to play at Tropical park a shared stadium which is usual for private schools and if public high schools have their own stadium seating capacity must be high because of rivalry games.
Why doesn't Columbus play their home games at their own stadium? They have a beautiful field. Are the stands not if enough? No lights?
Belen plays their home games on campus.
-
Southridge doesn't have their own field. The reason why people think that is because next to the high school is a park called Southridge park and it just so happens a stadium is on the grounds. Harris field is home to South Dade and Homestead high. Another stadium North Miami aka Mosquito Bowl is right in front of Morning high school but that stadium is still shared with Krop, Norland, North Miami and North Miami Beach.
That North Miami stadium is no joke. The Mosquito Bowl nickname is well deserved. If you don't take a can of mosquito repellent, then good luck lasting the whole game in the stands.

What area are safe in America? Ain't know school safe... You can get touch at anytime or anywhere ... Plus I told you before NO DADE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAS THEIR OWN FOOTBALL FIELD!!! Since your afraid of Miami, if Columbia makes it to state which I doubt it , you probably won't want to go cause the citrus bowl is dead smack in the hood.
Southridge has their own field. I think they're the only public school in miami to have their own field with lights.
-
Yeah, I'll give slight edge to NW but STA schedule looks just as tough
STA schedule might be just as tough, but I think they're better equipped to handle it. Even with that schedule, STA might go undefeated or lose one game. I think Northwestern will be lucky to just finish 7-3

How many teams are against Florida or other power states? (Georgia,Texas,cali,Ohio?)

Gotcha. That Defense should be huge for them. Now are you sure about that "talented South Dade team" for 2016? I heard they will be average due to a huge hit of lost Seniors. Looking at their higher rated players they look significantly down compared to usual. They usually have 5-10 two /three star type players on their roster if I am not mistaken.
I've been around the South Dade program recently, and they're defense is loaded. They're offense needs to rebuild and will be their achilles heel. They do have talented players on offense but they need linemen to step up on O. Their offensive line last year was really good and they lost 4 starters. They should still make the playoffs in their district along with Southridge.
The fact that Carol City put up 36 on that defense was impressive. After that spring game I became I believer in Carol City.
-
Any team can win on any given day, that being said, if it's early in the season STA has a better chance. IMG gets better as the season goes on because the team has time to gel. IMG is a completely different team from game 1 to game 10.
If AHP had played IMG mid-season or later last year, I don't think they would have beat them.
IMG is playing 12 regular seasons games this year against a killer schedule. IF they go undefeated I think they deserve to be national champs. I don't like the idea of them playing tradiotnal high schools, but if they survive that schedule undefeated, they should be number 1.
-
The games were great two years ago, and then it disappeared last year. I hope it does come back.
They just need more states to approve it. Two years ago only three states allowed their teams to participate. Pretty sad that the other 47 states athletic associations shot it down.

Out of the South in 8A it'll be Columbus, Deerfield, or Miami High in my opinion. South Dade is still undefeated with a loaded defense, but their offense will be their downfall.
