A lot of turnovers both ways. Score could have been other way also. Imagine if game was played in Hawthorne, like it should have been. Pahokee should be able to handle chiefland. Hope to see them at Madison in 2 weeks.

Add Hawthorne to them teams.

How about Jefferson is really 2-8. They won against cottondale Friday. But guess what? It's not computed into the rpi. Because it was not entered on maxpreps. So every team that played them are impacted and every teams opponents are impacted. Example... Hawthorne is .002 from the 2 seed. This should have been added to their OWP but wasnt. Which may or may not have been enough to get the 2 seed. That's difference of. .1111 or. .2222 which may have made up the .002 needed.

If your gonna combine 1A and 2A then you also need to combine 3A and 4A... You saying 1A cried, but guarantee you would hear more grief from 2A teams than 1A teams if the 2 got combined.

How would a pahokee feel about getting placed in a district? Would they have the option to move up? That's a lot of travel for 2-3 district games a year. What about the schools that would have to travel to the muck? Whoever in that district won't be happy. Will FHSAA give some assistance? Probably not. I say put them in a district but give the district control on what they want to do. Just like in other sports. Either they want to play a district schedule or let the RPI decide the district.

Imagine what pahokee might have to travel. Maybe Madison then right back to Tallahassee on a Thursday.

Guess you got me! Hawthorne is tired of losing 1 game to Madison. We are 0-1 all-time and we are just tired of seeing them every year. Yep that's what it is. Taylor and Madison should be in the "North"

My only problem with 1A and FHSAA is all that red on the map is considered north Florida, Correct??? Isnt Madison County in that red??? Why does FHSAA place Madison in region 3??? With Chiefland, Dixie, Trenton instead of with the other North 1A schools?? They put Taylor County in Region 2 with north schools and Madison is North of Taylor. Let's actually have a north vs south in the state championship.

So you have to schedule a team, that's going to schedule good teams, and the teams that they scheduled will have to schedule good teams, and those teams will have to schedule good teams, and then those teams will have to schedule good teams, also ............... So how do you know who to play???

Well FAMU is located in Tallahassee. Don't think that fit under the rural umbrella. I know absolutely nothing about the Marathon area. I see there population is around 10,000. Where Moore Haven population is around 2000. But Moore Haven is no question a 1A school.

What are the other 2 public schools?

If Moore Haven fits 1A, why FHSAA didn't force them into 1A? They forced other teams into different classes. I also wonder why Madison is still in 1A-Region 3 and not in 1A-Region 2. What makes Taylor County Region 2 and not Madison?

Why wasn't Moore Haven placed in 1A???

Which team is closer to Jefferson? Madison or Taylor? Region 4 has 10 teams... So put the north most region 4 team, Trenton, in region 3, and move Madison to region 2. That moves the 10 team region from 4 to 2 and leaves regions 1, 3, and 4 with 9 teams.

Move Madison to region 2 and move Trenton to region 3. That would make it perfect in my opinion.

Can someone explain why is Madison in region 3? Why not put them in 2? I had this question last go round.

I was surprised with the size difference in the trenches, that Pahokee wasn't able to manhandled Hawthorne. #13 from Hawthorne applied pressure all night. Pahokee QB seemed uncomfortable most of the game, and Hawthorne oline only gave up 1 or 2 sacks. Pahokee was best team they have faced this year. Was it clear Pahokee hadn't faced a team like Hawthorne? Think they had a real problem with the team speed that Hawthorne has.

Totally agree with you on Pahokee offense. I expected to see more with the caliber of athletes they have. Also with a Qb with a nice arm. Hawthorne made mistakes they dont normally make. Haven't seen them fumble but maybe 2 times all year, and lost 2 fumbles to pahokee. Qb has 3 ints on season and threw 2 against pahokee. Part good coverage, part bad throws, not to take nothing away from pahokee. Score could have gotten ugly, like running clock ugly, if Hawthorne took better care of ball. Also, Pahokee had their chances getting into the red zone 3-4 with no points, which the game could have went the other way if they capitalized. Haven't seen a team play man coverage for a full game like that. Cant just rely on your great athletes, especially verse other great athletes. Gotta show some zone and some man.

Hawthorne's second in school history

I've already been hearing of a school trying to get back in 1A. They way they are adjusting their count is crazy. Waiting to see if it works.

Well Hawthorne's now top 100... they've allowed 4.4 with 6 shutouts... while averaging 53.1 scoring.. have had a amazing season

Warner Christian, Walton, Hamilton County, Newberry, Belleview, Village Academy, Lemon Bay, Royal Palm Beach.... These are a some teams that are worth bonus points but have not won a game this season. There are more that only have 1 win. Is it fair that these teams are giving others bonus points based on what they have done in the past? The 3 points have huge impact. It almost boost a category 4 team to category 3, which takes 4 wins in a season to move to category 3. My opinion is that a team should get bonus points for scheduling a previous playoff team but not if they finish category 4. Have bonus points be affected by the current season also. Scheduling a playoff team makes you eligible to receive bonus points but how many points is based off how they finish in the current season Category 4 recieve 0 points or 1 Category 3 recieve 1 point or 2 Category 2 receive 2 points or 3 Category 1 recieve 3 points or 4 Just my thoughts....

All of these programs can be competitive with the right person leading the program. I have no sympathy because there are many schools doing better with less.
