They are a good team. Look like they had 40+ dress. Williston on dressed around 25. Qb still there. Only real passes they completed were tunnel screens, which were real successful verse Williston. The skill guys run hard. Williston just couldnt tackle. I expected them to be real dominate and look real dominate in the trenches, but they didnt to me.

Yes... Seen them against Williston Saturday.

Due to IRMA I was able to travel around and see some teams I probably wouldn't normally see. Seen a few of the top teams in 1A and from what I have seen, there isn't a team that just looks dominate. Now I have not seen few down south teams or the far west panhandle teams yet. Just trying to see what you guys think.

Im a 1a guy some im going to just post 1a.. My Hawthorne hornets take on Hamilton county tonight... For the past 4 years this has been a great game. First time it has been played earlier than the regional finals. Think my hornets will win by double digits. Bell over wildwood West gadsen over baker Laurel hill over holmes county Chipley over franklin county Crescent city over dixie county Paxton over graceville And my upset newberry over madison county

I hear Belleview go have another 20+ coming in.... Wonder if they are gonna see whats going on there..

Tigerfan i agree with you on almost everything you have said regarding the 1a rural class. I am a Hawthorne guy. We are in the bottom in enrollment. We have never complained about where we have been placed. The districts have always been stacked against us in all sports if you go off enrollment. Our football district was fort white, baldwin, union county, and Hilliard... 2 of the schools over 600 and union being real close if not over also... Then they turn around and let Williston and Newberry leave their football district and join our district in basketball... We are the type of school that the people that make the decisions forget about... Now some of you. The schools that are forced to move up will see how it feels to be on the bottom of the class in numbers...wish they forced you before they did away with districts, so you would be forced to play some schools that double your enrollment and not hand pick down schools... See what if feels like having a team dress double the amount of players you dress. Having teams dress 35 seniors against your 10 and the difference that makes... All the schools that moved up can compete in the places they were moved... You complaining cause it wont be easy... Winning state championships shouldnt be easy.

Fortwhite where would you like them to be placed??? 4a??

My advice is to start volunteering now. Go to workouts and be around the kids. All the way up to spring. Then do the same all summer up to fall. Take your passion with you to the weightroom, and be there everyday they workout if possible. The one thing you have to do is convince the kids and staff you are 100% into what you are doing for them to 100% buy into you. Hey every team needs a "do the little things" coach. If you do this and your trying to be a paid coach then sometimes its just a matter of another coach leaving and a spot opening up and you having that relationship from being around the program. If your a good guy with a positive background most coaches would let you be around just to be a positive influence to the kids. At my school thats all you need anyway to volunteer.

Seems like newberry is still doing less with more. They are probably the biggest team ive seen in a few years. Its like they have only a 6 play playbook.

Yea Union is not the Union people are use to... dont think they will make playoffs this year. Think they will lose to Baldwin and Fort White. They pulled out one against Hawthorne that could have easily went they other way.

Agree with you tigerfan!

Agreed!!!

Seen union last night in Hawthorne... Hawthorne let them get away 27-26 two big drops in endzone on Hawthornes final drive... Union will not make playoffs this year... Fort White and Baldwin are in.. Think both will beat Union pretty easy.

Eastside was a playoff team. Lol. But is it right that if points was in this year that Trenton may get the same or less points lossing to Wakulla as a team would get for beating Bronson.

Thats what I didnt understand. Why remove the bonus points??? For example a "powerhouse" team should get rewarded for playing up especially if they cant get games in their class.

If they limit 1a with a number of total schools, I am all for it. Not like I have a choice anyway. I dont think 600 students should determine 1a, especially since they let schools over 600 in. Should pick a number like 36 and let the bottom 36 in enrollment in and everyone else up. Think we have 39 schools in right now.

Is there going to be a limit on the number of 1a teams allowed in?? Guess the better question is, are the 600+ schools going to be forced out of 1a?

Every team has a few transfers every year. Just like Trenton did. But 25+ is a bit much. Someone should look into them. Its some stories floating around about some shady stuff...

Hawthorne Interlachen is set for 11 am

Wonder will people attack them how they attacked trenton....

Hear 26 transferred in. Probably a good coach. But anyone can turn a team around with that many new kids!!

Should be a good one against Madison County.... good luck

Have you guys tried getting the state series pass???? $50 for the year. Gets you in all fhsaa regular season and playoff games for all sports....

Ok...lol.... its like trenton tries to force feed hamp. Why jackson didn't get more touches ???
