    Crazy I lived in Tampa 40 years and moved to Tennessee 3 months ago and now Tampa is projected to get hit head on by a hurricane for the first time in over 100 years 

    I've seen Tampa Bay miss many a hurricane since I have lived in Central Florida. They may well elude this one once again. It does not look good at the moment, but it's still too soon to conclude with accuracy where this storm will actually land. 

    My biggest hope is that loss of life is kept low. Beyond that, hope there's minimal property damage. The latter is probably too much to expect.

    Living in Central FL has cushioned the blows of most hurricanes over the past 60+years living here.  In my lifetime, the 2 most significant impacts to Kissimmee were in 1960 by Hurricane Donna and then 20 years ago in 2004 by Hurricane Charley that devastated the gulf coast region around Port Charlotte.  This current storm brewing on the far side of the Gulf and its projected path looks very worrisome even where I live, but much more so for the folks in the Tampa Bay area.  Praying it will encounter enough wind sheer to minimize its strength and weaken it to some extent.  If that doesn't happen, it might turn into our biggest catastrophe in recent memory hitting a highly populated area.  Again, hoping and praying for everyone that possibly will have their lives turned upside down by Milton.  Cancelling a game on Friday seems insignificant with that prospect. 

    Agree with everything you said. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. I can't see any Central Florida games being played this week and am hoping all of us stay safe.

    The difference is TFA's opponent, Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, is upfront about what they do.  It is a boarding school (a beautiful campus in northeast Georgia) that has players from all over the southeast, and Canada, Europe, and Asia (much like IMG and Clearwater Academy before it shut down).  But they don't compete in the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) because Georgia's rules are far stricter than those of the FHSAA when it comes to transfers and recruiting.  I say let schools recruit, offer financial aid, offer free lunches or whatever, but at least have the dignity to compete with others of the same ilk, and leave the FHSAA to those who want to play on a level playing field.      

    I was surprised by the number of fans that they brought to the game given they were not from South Georgia. The above explanation sheds some light. Thanks.

    I watched TFA last night in their first loss against an equally recruited Georgia small school power. IT was a great game, largely bereft of defense but with plenty offense on both sides. The difference in the game were a partially blocked punt that set the Georgia team up at the TFA 36 and a scoop and score fumble for 70 yards. The final score was 49-42.

    TFA has about 45-47 kids suited up. So, it means, if they recruited 30+, about 2/3rds of the kids on the roster were brought in for football. I must say they did a great job recruiting, particularly on offense.

    So Broward’s best game of the year will be played in Dade county!!!!  According to SBlive that’s the story! Can’t use the words I wanna use. Oh not because of the forum’s rule, but because I’m too often in the doghouse with my LORD. 
     

    Please tell me I’ve heard wrong……(angry face). 

    Hey, it's not in the county, but it's a good venue for a high caliber high school game.

    In the spirit of Halloween, Jesuit is Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde!!!! SMH. I’m gonna start not drinking the Darlington koolaid…..HE’s NOT AT APOPKA ANY MOE!!!!!!

    No matter how good a coach you are, you need a certain basic talent level. Apopka has always been blessed with very good athletes. Hence, the trick is to keep them home and buy into your system. Accomplish that, instill discipline, and get the kids on board that a deep run is not only possible but your birthright, and you have a recipe for winning a lot of games. 

  12. South Lake! First Home win in 1106 days!

    Hard to believe!  1106 days since South Lake Eagles have won a home game. Finally did it tonight by beating Ocala Forrest 38-27, this is the second district win of the season. Beat Davenport 28-7 earlier. Still have Horizon and Minneola to go. But !  This team has come a long way, very young. The future is bright. 

    You will probably beat Horizon. Though they are down, Lake Minneola will be difficult. 

  14. New Maxpreps rankings. What say you?

    I think the top 15 teams are pretty solid, though perhaps not in that order. I don’t believe Nease belongs there. Maybe not Niceville? Of course there are omissions…….STA, Broward’s highest rated ranked team, sets at 29th just below Bishop Moore….anyone remember that score???? 

    Eau Galle and Nease don't belong in the top 25

    Madison got clocked... recovery will take time.

    I have family there that said it was the worse hurricane they've ever gone through.

    Sorry to hear that. If we continue along the current trajectory, it will become increasingly difficult to live in the state.

    I believe I went 9-10 this weekend. I crunch numbers & give points for all the different variables. IF….IF I had just went by the numbers I came up with I woulda(coulda/shouldve) won 14 out of 19 games. I went with my emotions & changed a number of games that ended(everyone of them) in loses. 
     

    anyone else have any stories to share????

    Years ago, that happened to me all the time in the stock market. Then I learned that the market does not give one whit about what I would like to happen. I improved after that. I did have an emotional pick, though. And it did hit me in the face.
