It’s so bright and sunny right now in Tampa. Not a drop of water and the trees are perfectly still. It’s 11:17 right now. Is there supposed to be some after effects we get hit with?
I think you are good. It sucks for Taylor County, but the central part of the state dodged the bullet.

Do they suppose to have a great squad this year or an elusive Qb ?
I have not followed them closely since their legendary coach retired some years back, but the often have a dual threat type QB, who can run the ball some.

But it certainly does explaining cancelling the touchdown.

If a player stepped out of bounds on his own without being pushed out by an opponent, that is an Illegal Participation Foul. 15 yards from the previous spot since that was a loose-ball play(passing) and replay the down. The touchdown is canceled.
Then it is curious that the officials did not back us up 15 yards. I believe they actually placed the ball a few yards ahead of the prior spot near mid-field.

South Florida speed will be an issue. They will try and contain it by controlling the clock on time consuming drives. Back in 2003, Mainland beat them in a very entertaining state title game largely by out athleting them with superior speed. But they never gave up and kept that game interesting till very near the end.

This will tell you a lot about how good Dillard is at their home. Naples is usually a very gritty team and has 2 or 3 state titles in the past 25 seasons.
They will put up a fight at home. I think Dillard wins, but would not be shocked if they did not.
Good luck. I hope the officials call a good game.

Did you ever determine if the penalty was a Personal Foul or an Unsportsmanlike Conduct Foul, DarterBlue2?
I read in a local paper that it was called because a player was briefly out of bounds before the receiver caught the ball. It did not say whether it was the receiver or another player. Please share your knowledge and any insight you may have.
I certainly saw no unsportsmanlike action on the part of the receiver who had a step on the corner, caught the ball in stride, cut a little to his left and scored easily.

12 minutes ago, THAT S--T WAS FUNNY said:
Palmetto had a great team that year. The defense was awesome. But lost to Kissimmee Osceola in the semis at the Mecca. Palmetto would have won the state title for sure if their QB never got hurt late in the season.
Exactly. They lost their QB and did not have anyone to replace him. They lost to Osceola because they had no offence without their starting QB.

Another Solid List Darter.
Over the next two weeks, the rankings will probably change a lot, especially if the upsets continue.

An Unsportsmanlike Conduct foul does not end a scoring play, either touchdown, field goal, or successful try. An Unsportsmanlike Conduct foul is always penalized as a dead-ball foul, so the offended team has the choice to take the penalty on the try (if a touchdown was scored) or the subsequent free-kick (kickoff).
That is what I thought. But the Orlando Sentinel reported that the TD was disallowed due to an unsportsmanlike call on Apopka; a few Twitter threads suggested as much. My old, tired eyes did not see a personal foul committed by the Apopka receiver. Now it's possible there could have been a hold by the receiver enabling the receiver to get two steps ahead of the corner that I did not see as my eyes were focused on the QB who handled a low snap well before hurling it downfield. Apopka snapped the ball from about its own 40, but when the TD was brought back the ball was placed nearer to midfield. For the life of me, I can't figure out why the TD was disallowed.

The QB gets a low snap, but handles it an immediately heaves the ball downfield to an open receiver who has two steps on the DB and easily outruns him to the end zone. In what circumstances does an unsportsmanlike penalty erase the touchdown?
I always thought it would be assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

Well, hope none of this nonsense happens next week when we travel to Seminole.
I am guessing this started on social media and spilled over into the game.

I seen Rockledge played Seminole close. Do you think Seminole might be down a bit or is Rockledge playing out of their minds?
The Seminole/Rockledge game was marred by fighting from the coin toss where one of the best players on the field was ejected from the game because punches were thrown by both teams, to the final whistle. When it was all over, there must have been a combined total of over 400 yards in penalties. I don't think you can say a lot about either team from this game.
Maybe, an enterprising boxing or MMA manager/promoter, could find some talent based on what went down.

I would hope he's not. He'd be the boss from hell. Fortunately, he's probably just a "little man" with an overstated sense of self importance that still lives with mom and dad though he's likely heading for middle age status.

Also, I can't believe I am saying this, but overall I agree with your current rankings.

I assume Clearwater Academy is unranked for the same reason as IMG?

Get over yourself, refs are human and screw up.
That is 100% correct. Usually, it's just human error; occasionally, it's bias whether recognized by the official or not; very rarely, it's an intentional effort to impact the result; but in each and everyone of these cases, it's what makes us as a species, "human".
In the case of our resident referee, I would hate for him to be in charge of the crew that officiates one of my teams games because he's arrogant beyond belief, believing that his calls are always and forever correct; in short, denying his own humanity.

I think I know what happened. I was scrolling looking for pics, but you quoted my original posts and that shows your pics. for some reason when you quote someone, it doesn’t show their original post completely. You have to click on the arrow to open up the whole post. I missed that part.
I realize that now and won't do my picks that way again as despite my poor start, I intend to win it this year!

@nolebull813 you did not include my results. I got 4 right which ties me for the bottom. If you check the original thread, you will see I participated.

I don't know about supervisor. But I do know I am your superior. BTW, I also know you are an insecure, unpleasant person though I have never met you in person.
