  1. Ask the former Desoto coach now at Port Charlotte about the video tape they sent to FHSAA. That was before the current open transfer rules.
  2. FHSAA is so inconsistent in their enforcement of rules and policies it makes me think somebody is accepting bribes.
  3. I think they should only be allowed to play JV for the first year but we all know that such a rule won't be made. FHSAA is beyond being fixed.
  4. I'm all for school choice for academic reasons. I'm ok with transferring when there is a legitimate move into another district or zone. When a parent wants to take their child to a school closer to their work, I can live with that. What we're witnessing is not that. I say screw fhsaa. Leave it, form another and don't look back.
  5. So does that mean FHSAA will suspend their program and then reinstate it a few days later like that one school early this year? Or do they fine the coach and suspend him a few games like they did Sarasota Booker's coach?
  6. Either way, why is it "funny business " as Nolebull put it, when we all know Cocoa has been doing that for years?
  7. I've seen plenty of teams over the years that are loaded with size, speed and good players that can't win a game due to really bad coaching.
  8. Looks to me like Gadsden just so happened to have a good team this year. Most rural towns tend to follow a natural path of down years followed by great years.
  9. Did Gadsden do any more than any others? Seems to be OK for certain schools to load up on transfers but God forbid if others do it.
  10. I still have a lot of questions regarding SSAA. I did an internet search and it appears more and more schools are going this route.
  11. This is how it was when I was growing up! Reading through this thread, many arguments that are generally made for decentralized government apply here. Independent school districts get to keep their money and use it as they see fit rather than sending to a central government that creates a bureaucracy that decides. Why is it every decision FHSAA makes seemed centered on how much revenue it brings in? Tell me why they need more money? To pay overpaid executives? I digress. This ties into what I was saying in the other thread. I believe a longer regular season, but a shorter harder to qualify for, post season would be better. When I was in high school the season didn't start until after labor day. We also had later, 8:30 start times. The later start times gave people a chance to get off work, maybe go downtown and visit a local restaurant with the family, then go to the game. Nowadays we have 7 or 7:30 start time when it's still 100 degrees out or a thunderstorm so the game gets canceled or postponed.
  12. SSAA posted on X that Clewiston will be joining next year and playing in the Atlantic Division. Franklin County also.
  13. That's why I'd rather have a 12 game season. Besides, why does FHSAA need more money? Let the schools keep the gate.
  14. That's what I take issue with. At 2-8, the season should be over. Post season is supposed to be an award, not a gimmick.
  15. That's a no thank you from me. I would much rather have a longer regular season (12 games) so good players can get noticed even if on a bad team, and a short post season/bowl that matches like to like and deserving to be there. Especially if the goal is to just have more games. Instead of watching a 5-5 Lake Placid get slaughtered by Cocoa, I'd rather see Lake Placid play another 5-5 or 6-4 team in a bowl. Better yet, Tavares was 7-3 but didn't make the playoffs. Image if the had a chance to play an 8-2 Labelle. Just my thoughts on the subject.
