    The Muck

    Glades Central would likely win the region in 2S
  2. Go unbeaten, win the championship, now losing players? That's insane
  3. Either way, I believe that was the right decision.
  4. I somewhat disagree. There is a lesson to be learned here. 1. Life isn't always fair; 2. Your actions effects others for good or bad; 3. Even if not involved, if you knew and said or did nothing you are complicit; 4. This is supposed to be a team and if one fails or does wrong the whole team did. The military has this philosophy and for good reason. Ultimately sports like football should be about teaching life lessons, not the going got hard so time to bail out. Sorry, I don't mean to preach but I believe Viera's admin did the right thing here given the circumstances.
  5. I wouldn't say decades, the last decade perhaps, at least in my area. Attendance was good up until about 10 years ago. Transfer rules changed in 2012
  6. Small town football in Florida is dying. What you described above was common in the 80s and 90s.
  7. I know some. Here in the Heartland area fans from neighboring communities will support another school when they make the playoffs or have a big game.
  8. Is Lake Wales going to be down this year? Did the lose a lot of players off last year's team?
  9. Anybody what happened? I read on Facebook that the game was called at halftime due to a fight.
  10. Some small counties, like Gadsden or Glades for example can't grow much because the government owns large portions of land that is off limits for development.
  11. Where did you get Hardee County having a population of 37000? The 2020 census says we lost population from 2010 and are around 25000. I disagree with the accuracy of the census and think the actual population is probably around 30000. I find it interesting that we've always have a slightly smaller population than Desoto but we seem to always have more kids enrolled in our schools.
  12. How does that NIL work? We getting a lot of money from Mosaic. Need to buy us some players.
  13. Chump change in Naples https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/naples-real-estate-market/
  14. Depends on who is doing it
  15. If limits are not going to be placed on transfers, or a rule isn't going to be made to require them sit out a year, then I think the only other fair option would be an adjustment to classification.
  16. I've been saying this for years, why do a population report for classification when multiple transfers aren't factored in? I said it back when Cocoa was 4A that they really should have been in 6a or 7a
  17. Let some other public school in 2S recruit up a team and that school ends up beating Cocoa and you'll see demands for an investigation quick.
  18. And yet traveling a long distance is a reality for some regardless if those games are district games or non district. Likewise a former athletic director told me we had a problem years ago because we were in a 4 team district while some of the neighboring schools were in a 5 team district. That meant they had a district game and we had to either find a long distance game to fill that week or play a 9 game schedule.
  19. Was done once before and it worked. In fact, was probably the best format fhsaa ever used: 1999-2000 district cycle. Six classes, 3 districts per region; most districts had 6-8 teams. Travel wasn't really an issue. District Champs and runner-ups automatically got in with 2 wildcard spots. Obviously it would need some tweaks since we now have 9 (or 10) classes. Then again the smaller classes don't need districts as fhsaa has gone that route before and it seemed to work.
  20. 3 Districts per region instead of 4
  21. What I see happens is when one player transfers others follow to the same program.
  22. Sit the bench at Manatee or start at Bayshore? Tough decision
