Was being administered by Archbishop Spaulding on Bishop Moore. Spaulding is well coached and heavily recruited. Their O Line created huge holes and their backs took full advantage. They also lacked brotherly love for their Catholic brethren as with two seconds to go to the half, they call a timeout with the ball at around the BM 45. The QB, making his intentions very clear, throws a bomb into the end zone that was just out of reach of his receiver. At the time the score was 35-7 Spaulding.
Having seen that, I decided to call it a night and went home. While I am not a BM fan, I take no pleasure seeing them, or for that matter, any local team get beat down by an out of state team. I remember Miami Northwestern being chastised for throwing bombs when they were up by 20 against Lake Brantley in the 2006 title game. In this case the Archbishop was up by 28.

Unfortunately football coaches have little say in these decisions.
I know. Central Administration does in most cases, and sports are often not the main driver of decisions. The issue I have, though, is that Dorian never really threatened the West Coast of the state.

see above. I think they are playing Saturday or Monday
Okay, thanks. I guess Saturday works. As you mentioned in another post, Monday may or may not be good depending on your schedule.

I don't either. I might head west but it appears Tampa has also canceled all public school games on Friday.
Were schools shut in Tampa most of the week? If not, I don't get why they would cancel/reschedule Friday's games.

The game between Bishop Moore and Archbishop Spalding (Baltimore) at BM has not yet been moved from Friday night.
If it is not, then this would be my default game Friday, then.

I don't think I ever cared if games were cancelled before, but with trying to do playoff ranking points, you need every game, when games get changed to Monday or Saturday or you never find out if the game is canceled or rescheduled it becomes a HUGE mess.
I think they could have continued with the prior system or done some of the things you suggested two or three years ago instead. I think this latest iteration, despite good intentions, is going to be very difficult to manage.

Pinkos doesn't have the comparison rankings for OOS teams so honestly not even sure how he projects these games but it's a algorithm not a prediction
Then by definition with out of state teams, it must be a prediction since his algorithm would not have information for these teams. Personally, I have always felt what he does are predictions cloaked in the language of using an algorithm. Laz, in contrast, does use an algorithm.

Retired last year 6/1/2018, Bradenton was always where I wanted to return back to....(its home....) unhappy however with the direction Manatee County has turned to........Where I grew up at and all around Manatee HS has gone to hell in my opinion and I have no desire to live further inland around the interstate where all the new building is happening.......I love the Gulf of Mexico, so kept looking south till I found something in Charlotte County I really liked! Going to Manatee games isn't going to be a obstacle......well until its not safe for me to be behind the wheel of a automobile.....anyways!
Hopefully, you still have several good driving years left. Anyway, welcome back to Florida!

Peezy, I'm in Florida and waiting to close on the house we're buying.......so hopefully within the next week or two I'll be catching some live games!
Does that mean you have now retired and moved home?

What a abysmal week. 5-10 is atrocious. The state as a whole is down. All the results for week 2 are on the first post in the thread and week 3 games are up as well
Sadly, I have to agree with you. At this stage of the season, the whole state is down this year.

Counted Dematha, Gonzaga and good counsel a total of 10 times
That area is very top heavy. Not much else after a handful of teams. It is where Florida is rapidly heading as recruiting runs amok.

I think Carol City may beat Central next week after looking at both teams. Turnovers will play a major part but the chiefs have a good defense.
From a distance I agree with you. Sounds like BTW played Central equal and were unlucky to lose. I don't think BTW could hold MNW to 10 points.

Thinking about going to the BTW Central game just don't want to deal with the rain.
Looks like it was a good game. Hope you made it.

Hard fought win. Is Miramar that good or are you overestimating Dillard a bit?

With a hard fought win over a very strong Oakleaf team
21-19 final
Apopka beat Coral Gables 27-12 but struggled. In fairness they did have about 4 or 5 starters out injured.

West Orange looked average tonight. Wekiva down 14-5 at half put it to them the second half and won 42-14. West Orange best RB is not playing and most likely won’t the rest of the year
Wekiva has obviously come a very long way since their spring game.

That's the whole game condensed, but I hear you. Nothing like being at the game.
Plenty to see on that film for both teams, good and bad.

I don't think BM deserves to be in Central Florida top 10 at this time based upon performance in first two regular season games.
I believe you are underselling Bishop Moore. I get the point with weak secondary, but believe they are CF top 10. Overall, Central Florida looks relatively weak this year. BM is a good high school team that is unfortunate to be paired with Jones who is state caliber.

Mad they took this game off the picks.. I definitely would have made up some ground. NW 10 CC 0... called with 6 min left do to lightning. Game was not as close as score indicates.
I see you guys have a good kicking game this year. With that, a great defense and a maturing offense as the season progresses you will be a favorite to win another state title this year.

You have every right to enjoy it. Dillard is competitive in class 6A. As the season progresses, we will be better able to determine just how much you have a shot at making Daytona.

After the blowout loss to Orlando Jones, will they be in this years class 5A State Championship?
Based on what I saw at the spring game and the loss to Jones, the answer is probably not unless they improve a lot as the season progresses.

It pains me to say you were right. BM sleepwalked through the first quarter and did not put together a meaningful drive till their fourth or fifth possession when they marched downfield aided by a 15 yard penalty and scored. On the other side of the ball the Archbishop scored on each of its first three possessions.
It was very difficult to watch. If BM gives Jones a game next Friday, it speaks volumes for Central Florida football and, perhaps, all of Florida football in what looks like a down year.
