    They are coming out with a sequel.  A young man from Lake City gets involved with a young lady from Gainesville who graduated from St Thomas Aquinas and whose brother goes to IMG.  After a steamy weekend, he decides he cannot see her any longer...but she has other plans.:)

    :D!

    My age group... Heard it was a heart attack.. smh

    Like Columbia said, we never know when our journey ends. So we need to make the best of what we have got and enjoy the ride as it occurs. It hurts, though, 33 is too young to die from natural causes.

    The saddest fact of life is that living a long time is never promised or guaranteed 

     

    Have to live life while you got it because tomorrow isn't promised and aren't guaranteed another sunrise

    He was the same age as my oldest child. I don't want to have the task of burying any of my children!

    The other end of the range is more a gauge of potential... of the three Seminole may have the most upside.

    Seminole has a lot of potential upside. The team is still young, but it's now experienced.

    I appreciate your efforts Josh but financially I know this is a burden.  I wish you the best of luck but at some point you are going to need money and I just don't feel like the money will ever be there for a site like this.  It has been tried by close friends of mine and I've seen the struggles first hand.  Best of luck and hopefully you will land the support you need.  

     

     

    PS Columbiafan better donate his piggy bank or he won't have anything to do with his life.

    In addition to contributions from us, it would need some kind of corporate sponsorship to sustain itself. That is hard to attain here in Florida. 

    For what it's worth, I plan on making a contribution once I do my budget for the remainder of the year. Unfortunately, it will be constrained by the fact I am now a retiree. 

    Back in the day, I was able to get your buddies some corporate advertising from my then employer. However, it was too little to make a serious dent in their needs. It's a pity as I feel AL and CK did a great job and I certainly miss their board and broadcasts!

    Kenny Phillips man that defense was BAD ASS!!

    How could I forget about Kenny. Yes, that was probably the best high school defense I ever saw. There was no weakness on it. The day after Edgewater beat Deerfield, i went to the Orange Bowl to see the other state semifinal between Carol City and Killian. Killian had a bad ass running back and a big offensive line. The only managed to get into Carol City territory once in the whole game which ended with the Chiefs winning 3-0. 

    I knew watching that game that Edgewater was going to struggle to score against Carol City, as earlier in the season they had struggled against a very good Mainland defense, losing that game 13-7. That Mainland team was its only state champion as they beat Naples in the 5A title game.

    Well looks like Deerfield did squander their talent 

    I am not surprised. It is the story of their program. I remember back in 2003, a two loss Edgewater team made the trip to Deerfield Beach to play the then undefeated home team in the state semifinal for class 6A. That DB team had Brent Schaffer a 4 star D1 QB who had a very good arm and good mobility and a bevy of quality receivers. Edgewater picked him off on DB's first drive of the night and subsequently scored and never surrendered their early lead despite DB closing the gap late in the game. 

    The following week Edgewater ran into Willie Williams and Ricky Jean Francois and crew (one of the most stifling high school defenses I have ever seen), and despite defending well themselves could not put a drive together against Carol City, eventually losing 13-0.

    No man, hanging around the house. Been hooked on the flopping, faking, and whining teams of the soccer World Cup. Nice non-stop action, but the diving and crying is ridiculous. Not to mention, unmanly!  #chauvinistpig  

    More of it is actual injury/serious pain than you think, Dan. You have to remember that protective gear in soccer is minimal. Trust me from a former player, a vicious tackle is plenty painful. Add the fact that players are using metal studs (which is crazy) in this World Cup, and the risk of injury is very real.

    Sometimes it is interesting how things play out. I saw him play once in 2011 and 2012, he seemed a big talented type of guy who would have excelled at Mississippi State for Mullen. If he chooses the Gators, I think it is great.

    More interesting to me is one of the linked articles in the article, where he chose baseball because of the potential longer career due to the fear of concussions. When we talk of a dying sport this is something that we should continually talk about. 

    http://www.tampabay.com/sports/florida-gators/2018/07/05/why-cord-sandbergs-baseball-retirement-could-help-florida-gators-football/

    Very interesting decision. I saw Sanberg in the state title game against First Coast. He impressed me a lot. I totally got his decision to play baseball instead. It is what I would have done if I were in his situation, as concussions are a real issue. 

    Hope it's not too late for him to resurrect his football career.

    Three teams from the Muck...Glades Central, Pahokee, and Clewiston....together have played in a combined 26 state title games and well over 150 playoff games.  There is only one team that has ever beaten all of them at least once in a playoff game.  Who is it? 

    Avon Park

    Bartow

    Bolles

    Chaminade-Madonna

    Clearwater Central Catholic

    Cocoa

    Frostproof

    Hardee

    Immokalee

    Tampa Catholic

    I have no basis for this, but I am going to take a wild guess and say Hardee.

    If a person can stand south Florida heat they can stand anything down here the heat is unbearable humid wit no wind biggest mosquitoes u ever seen and it’s sticky cloths stick to u and all 

    I have spent a lot of time in both places (sister lives in North Dade and I used to have a client with Houston operations). The temperatures in South Florida are as hot, sometimes hotter. But in Houston, the humidity is the worst I have ever experienced anywhere in America. That said, the fall, winter and spring months are fine. And there are a lot of job opportunities there.

    Rockledge seemed to lose its mojo after Wood stepped down, and just won their first playoff game in 10 years this past season.  Hopefully Rockledge is on its way back to greatness.   

    http://spacecoastdaily.com/2017/02/coach-chuck-wood-transforming-boys-into-young-men/

     

    I believe Cocoa's rise may have had something to do with Rockledge's demise. The Brevard fans can correct me if I am wrong.
