Fort Myers and Charlotte are probably on the list or close.

I heard all but 12 players quit the team; many urged by their parents to quit.

As you may recall, Hardee was unbeaten 2 years ago. We played Bartow that season and while Bartow was winless, their players were just as fast and just as big as any ours. Just no direction.

What a difference having competent coaching makes! Two seasons ago Bartow was 0-10 and we were talking on this board about how far how their program had fallen. Some were even suggesting that Bartow needed to go independent or be down classed because they never will be competitive again. The yellow jackets are now 8-0 and thrashed their previously unbeaten rivals last night. Bartow just might be the best in Polk this year. What do you think @OldSchoolLion?

I was thinking how crazy it would be if in 5a Region 4 the blind draw results in Miami Northwestern vs American Heritage Plantation for the play-in.

Exactly! Stick with Norvell. A fair assessment on him as head coach really can't be made until after 4 season given the mess he was handed.

Madison should be higher.

I pick Lake Gibson to win. Not because they're really better but due to Lakeland having no games played and no practices in.

Exactly how much research do you do and are you relying on message board homers?

It seems to me like too much focus is on getting a scholarship to play division 1 college football. What's wrong with giving a smaller sized athlete a shot if he can help your team win and perhaps get recruited by a lower division college program?

Real coaching!

That kid may not have a place at one of those private schools like you mentioned above but a many a high school would find a place for him.

Naples was 10-1 last season so I was shocked when I saw this score. Before Kramer was coach there Naples wasn't much of a power. Immokalee typically has a sound program and won state in 2004 but got moved up in classification; belong in 5a.

Did this really just happen?
