Very hard to believe Dada has only one hall of famer.

It was kinda funny, though!

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.

I like the idea. A regular season shortened by a couple games on the front end, makes a lot of sense.

That's as big as it gets. But it's pretty clear that must be FloridaTech!

From the Cockpit Country, no less. The best sense that ever grew.

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.

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.

You got that right!

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.

My deep, sincere condolences to his family and the entire Dillard community. 35 is very young to die. Age wise, he could have been a son as my oldest is his age. Very sad

It means an enterprising coaching staff that goes about it in a discrete way, can get transfers in without much hassle or fear of fines or suspensions. Now if you do it the Manatee way (see other post), then that would be problematic. Edgewater shares boundaries with: Jones (to the southwest), Evans (to the northwest), Wekiva (north, northwest), Winter Park (to the east) and Boone (to the southeast). All of these schools have talent in their zones. And none are that far from Edgewater. Getting transfers in from any of them would not be much of a hassle. Of course, the same would apply to Edgewater kids seeking a new home.

Sorry to hear that. I have a son who is 35. that is very sad.

The school is not overcrowded. It has 8A capacity but only 7A enrollment. So, unless there is evidence of blatant contact with kids, they have pretty much a blank check to recruit in the environment we are currently in.

Edgewater did not get lots of transfers in 2019. But they did return the 2018 transfers they got. Now I will admit that they did land a quality transfer in 2019; but a lot, not really.

Edgewater lost a very good running back to graduation (ICON). Other than that, the rest of the very good skill talent will be back. They also lost some good to very good linemen on both sides of the ball who had experience. They have some holes to fill, but on paper no more so than any other team in the Orlando area. I expect them to be very good again and a return trip to state is not out of the question.

Perhaps. I guess we will see in 2 years or so.

My trip to Lake City a year and a half ago, was likewise, a pleasant experience. I was very impressed with the school and the quality football stadium. Also, I can vouch that Columbia fan is a decent young man who loves his Tigers!

I knew he was ailing. I did not know it was that bad. RIP, coach!

On that night, yes. To be honest, I liked San Fran because I like solid running games and thought they had the better one. Also, the fact two former Central Florida high school players were on the team did not hurt.

We melted down in the final 5:30 of the game. Till then the 49'ners were in charge. I lot a bundle on the game!

That situation is actually sad. There is no reason why a Palm Beach county public outside of the Muck could not win a state title.

They get to play in 1A while having access to players that would be more reflective of a 4A school via a Charter School in the county.

In several cases, yes. But at this stage of the tournament, it would probably not be that big a deal. And, like Bad Bird, I am okay with this, as on a net basis, I think we would often get better finals.
