Probably the nicest as far as field (grass) facilities, jumbobtron, stands, concessions and everything else is The Villages!! Now the product on the field doesn't measure up to some others but they are usually decent.

Good for you guys!!

You are again making my point. They didn't beat any good teams so why are they in the 2nd and 3rd rounds???

Columbia, you are missing the point. Yes you made it to the semi finals. Good for you guys. You beat a 7 loss Lincoln and a 4 loss Bartram Trail. Then you lost to a 4 loss 5 loss Viera. That's hardly elite!!

Look, I'm not hating on Columbia. Is anything I posted not true?? 7A was just pretty weak this year.

7A was a very watered down division,probably the weakest by far of all the classes. Look at STA's possible opponents. Viera: a 4 loss team that has done what ever? Columbia:Lost to a non playoff Escambia and always flames out Lakeland: Lost to Bartow!!! Ft Meade beat Bartow by 4 Tds I mean look @ Columbia's playoff run Chiles: A 6-5 football team, I saw them on tape. Not very good at all Lincoln: A 5-7 football I saw in person. A cakewalk for an elite team Bartram Trail: 9-4 they basically lost to every playoff team until they got to the 7A playoffs. What's that tell you? Viera: 10-5 football team who like Batram trail lost to every good football team until they reached the 7A playoffs. Not exactly a gauntlet there for the 7A north.

STA would have done the same thing to Columbia. Columbia flames out every year, maybe one year they can put it all together but it doesn't seem likely.

They were good Broward but I don't think they were close really to this year's Trenton team. Trenton was so dominant on the lines of scrimmage this year I haven't seen any rural school that matched up besides Madison.

2013 Dixie County, had by far the most talent in 1A and lost in a rematch to Trenton in the semi finals(17-14). They had won previously 18-7 vs Trenton. They would have boat raced Blountstown in the state championship.

Hell I called it but thought it would be closer than that. The 2A teams in the South must be awful!!! Dixie County beat University Christian at the end of the season. Hell they would cruise through 2A.

There may be 3-400 fans at the 2A game, it is borderline embarrassing. Not to mention it is a heavily watered down division, the weakest no doubt. University Christian should pound Cambridge and win another state title. UC 35 Cambridge 13

Credit Madison for not quitting. They were down 27-6 and ready to roll over and die and they fought back. It was a great game and they were the 1st team to rush for over 100 yards on Trenton's defense.

Sounds good. Hope he's ok and good luck to you guys.

Pahokee, what do you guys think of Dixie? Also heard your QB got hurt Friday, is he ok?

I agree with some of what you say Broward, when you have that domination you should expect it in the playoffs. However they should play the best teams in the state(Ft Meade, Pahokee, Madison) in 4 consecutive weeks, so I could see them losing to someone. Looking at the teams they played with winning records, look who else put running clocks on those teams. St Joe 9-1: Lost to Trenton 48-13, 41-7 @ half Newberry 6-4: Trenton won 54-6, 40-0 @ half Dixie Co 7-2: Trenton won 54-10, 20-2 @ half Chiefland 5-5, Trenton won 58-12, 58-0 @ half. Newberry won 39-0, Dixie 40-6 Episcopal 5-5, Trenton won 49-7, 42-0 @ half. Trinity Christian won 52-7 Williston 5-5, Trenton won 42-14, 35-7 @ half. Dixie won 45-6 They played 6 teams 500 or better, 3 of those teams no one else running clocked them. The others teams I listed who got those guys. Bottom line its going to get interesting.

Probably be a close game with Fla High. I think they pull it out though. This ain't your dad's Madison County, ain't the same horses running around over there.

Oxbridge may be a sleeping giant down there. I think they may roll Carol City. Oxbridge 35 Carol City 13

Well Columbia is the largest school in North Central Fla besides Buchholz so you probably should be the best program. I wouldn't set my goals at being better than a bunch of schools with 600 kids in it when you guys have 2000+. Columbia looks decent this year but I expect they will falter around the 2nd round like usual. Good luck though.

Good win for Columbia moving forward. On the other hand Gainesville just isn't very good anymore. They went 500 last year and will probably do the same this year. Columbia will probably beat Lincoln though as they aren't near as good as they used to be either.

Columbia fan, first off let me preface this by saying I'm not in any way defending Ft white. Don't care for them at all, but for you to compare Columbia to a school you are 3+ the size of? What's that say about yourself? But since you like comparing yourself to 1A teams lets look how you did the last time you played one in a real game ( not a classic or spring) . In 2010 you guys played Madison Co, I realize they weren't 1A at the time but the closest thing to it. The score was 19-0 Madison, and the year before Madison beat mighty Columbia 56-14!! So maybe Columbia needs to stick to being a decent 6A-7A team that hardly ever plays for a region title (once in the last 12 years). Stick to beating up the awful teams in Jacksonville and then when the real competition comes bowing out in the playoffs.
