Seminole made it to the 4A state semifinals that year, where they got thumped by eventual state champion Godby in Tallahassee. It took Seminole 21 years to get that far in the playoffs again.
It is hard to believe that the seniors and juniors in this game are now 50 or above. Life is short.

59 minutes ago, badbird said:that's why I put Carl Madison
I rode down to Orlando in the back of Carl Madison's truck in 1987 for the Florida Georgia All Star game. A few good coaches on that staff. Carl Madison, Al Morrell, George Smith and my pops.
That's some royalty, right there. Hard to find four better than the above.

Bonus question: One of those coaches was good enough to also win multiple state titles in another Southern state. Who is it?
By default, it is probably Carl Madison.

I agree. I have never watched a football game there but have watched two soccer games and, though its small for a large school, was impressed with the facilities.

They were not. Had a few good basketball teams, though, including a state title. I am also pretty sure they have been decent in several other sports (maybe golf or soccer).

Yes, but the next time they did, they won the ship!

He did.

Sorry to hear that. I saw Lincoln take Edgewater to the brink of defeat last year in the second round of the playoffs. They struck me as a well coached team. Recently Lincoln has lacked stability in its coaching staff. I don't know whether Gray's departure will impact the rest of the staff. Hope it does not.

Bill Castle

Sad situation. Don't know what else to say. Saw him live for the only time in the Apopka game last year.

I am probably wrong, but I believe you posted this one before: The Davis brothers from Southridge High?

He did what he was happy doing. While his life was short, he impacted young lives for the better.
RIP.

Palm Beach County-Rickey Jackson/Pahokee
Broward County -Michael Irvin/St Thomas Aquinas, Steve Hutchinson/Coral Springs, Isaac Bruce/Dillard
Miami-Dade County-Derrick Thomas/South Miami
Very hard to believe Dada has only one hall of famer.

1 hour ago, OldSchoolLion said:one of the better linemen FL has produced
Where did he play in high school?
Where did he play in college?
Which NFL team drafted him?
This guy does not look like a modern day, lineman. More like a Linebacker or Tight End or even a big Wide Receiver. My how the game has changed.

59 minutes ago, Perspective said:I like the optimistic thinking, gatorman.
I wouldn't be surprised (and, in fact, would be satisfied) if they gave kids a longer ramp-up period (since they missed spring ball), cut a game or two off the front end of the schedule and started up the regular season in mid-September. I've said it before and I'll say it again: boys in Florida really don't need to be playing tackle football in August because of the heat and the evening thunderstorms. But that's just my opinion. But, I'll take what I can get this fall.
I like the idea. A regular season shortened by a couple games on the front end, makes a lot of sense.

WTF? You must be using some really good stuff down there! VB does not have the talent pool necessary to have consistently good success against the teams you have listed. They may beat one or two of them, occasionally, but if VB had that kind of schedule year in and year out the best it could be is a .500 team that probably would not make the playoffs often.

1 hour ago, skyway said:I think we might have some sort of 2021 prep sports season, but I'm not sure. It's important you all recognize there will be no prep sports in 2020.
There MAY be college and pro sports in 2020 (may very well not). But, the kinds of precautions those leagues would have to take to play would be very difficult and costly and only justifiable because of the TV revenue $ they'd rake in. No such revenue exists for prep sports, so there's no way they'll be able to implement the kinds of safeguards that will be required.
Sad, but probably true. Perhaps there may be a way for some teams to get in specially arranged games, but I agree, it is hardly likely we will have official seasons for the reasons you outlined. I feel for the upcoming senior class who have worked for years to get to this point only to be denied.

3 hours ago, gatorman-uf said:Edgewater's Schedule
KOC: Dr. Phillips
1: Bishop Moore
2: Oak Ridge
3: Jones (Orlando)
4. John Curtis Christian (River Ridge, LA)
5. Winter Park
6. Wekiva
7. Booker T Washington (Miami)
8. South Lake
9. Bye
10. Forest (Ocala)
11. Boone (Orlando)Aside from Oak Ridge and district schools, South Lake and Forest, which are very weak (or were last year), this is a solid schedule.
Assuming they return all the impact kids and get a few key transfers or kids moving up from Freshman class with talent, I could see them going somewhere between 10-0 and 8-2 in the regular season (assuming we have one).
Personally, I would love to see Edgewater resume its rivalry with Apopka. In the first decade of this century this was the game of the week in greater Orlando.

I was very impressed with the freshman QB. He played like a junior in the state title game. He has a great future ahead of him if he remains healthy and focused.
