Some of the single wing philosophy's strengths are that opposing coaches often underestimate its' complexity, thinking that because the offense was first developed in the early 1900's that it is simple. Another is that opposing coaching staffs have usually only three days to attempt to replicate in practice, with scout team players no less, the single wing... and really it just can't be done - so their defense will get it's first real look on the game field. They're playing catch-up from the outset of the game.

Niceville is a good example of smaller town football. Port St Joe is small. 

I know this topic will be taboo, but it's starting to come out. High schools buying athletes. Tyrique Stevenson, a 4-5 star athlete has been with South dade  since his freshman year. he just transferred to Southridge for his senior year. Southridge was just taken over by Sedrick Irvin, who took Miami High from 2-7 to the state semifinal game in ONE season. Now he goes to Southridge and is trying to recruit players to that school as well. I've heard form people that he lured Stevenson away form South Dade from anywhere between $5,000-$8500. Last week in South Florida radio it came out on the Joe Rose show.

I'm sure this happens all over the state, my question is, CAN something be done about this? Or with the FHSAA rule change, is this legal?

As someone who has run social media and coached on high school teams, I have a simple rule when it comes to interaction: I only tweet, or RT, or anything like that, something that has to do with football. So if a kid tweets out that he got offered, or how he did at a camp, or some award he won, then I'll interact. Otherwise, no dice. So I would have never liked or RTed what Peacock did about the Braden River coach. Peacock is making himself sound like a victim and a martyr at the same time. Idk if that actually is the case but it just doesn't seem right to me.

It's tough to build winning Football programs when you bring out of County guys in to run the show he most definitely need to bring back some of the coaches from the last staff  

It should be noted that of Windermere's seven points, four were scored by the defense.

I can speak on some of these north teams - Gadsden County couldn't have had any losing seasons since 2017 was their first; North Bay Haven is a glorified Rocky Bayou without the "Christian" tag - if you know what that means; Rutherford has a culture that needs a change and so far no one has been able to make it happen; South Walton is a typical small school talent roller coaster; Walton is coached by a wanna-be Nick Saban less the ability - tons of talent at DeFuniak but the coach still cherry-picks opponents (and still can't win).

First welcome to Florida. 

Why would they be placed in Class 4A (681-1,114)? Is it based on student population from 4 years ago when Gateway Charter had a much larger enrollment?
2014: Gateway Charter (Fort Myers) - 710
2015: Gateway Charter (Fort Myers) - 734
2016: Gateway Charter (Fort Myers) - 646
2017: Gateway Charter (Fort Myers) - 552
So these districts/regions began in the Fall of 2015 and will end in the Spring of 2019, with new districts starting in Fall 2019. So if you look at their 2014 population, you can see that they would firmly be in Class 4A.  The population cutoffs can be different in different sports. 

How often does the FHSAA re-evaluate district assignments? Do they do mid-cycle reviews say if a school increases or decreases say more than 20% of their total enrollment every 2 years?
They redistrict ever 4 years now. They used to do it ever 2 years. They usually do some adjustments mid-cycle and they did this time, but again only if there are major changes or if schools want to move up. It was made more complicated this time around, due to football switching to the Power Point System and the elimination of districts in 1A-4A. 

Football to my understanding in class 1A-4A have no districts and use a point system?
The point system is used for 1A-4A as they got rid of the districts to allow schools to have more flexibility in their schedule (so they can avoid playing some of the really good teams). The Power Point system is designed to make "every game count" instead of just the district games in choosing who enters the playoffs, which was a complaint that there was no excitement in Week 11 games because the playoffs had already been determined. The Power Point System also allowed there to be seeding in the playoffs and allowed to schedule to their competition. (Trying to avoid giving my opinion in order for you to form your own opinion).

Classification 5A-8A still have districts (usually 3-7 teams) and the team with the best DISTRICT record is the district champion seeded as a top 4 seed in the region and receives at least one home playoff game. 
It also seems Gateway has a different slate of district members and classifications for each sport which is where it gets tricky for new fans such as myself. For example, Cardinal Mooney is in our district in baseball but not for any other sport. 
Cardinal Mooney doesn't have a softball team. 
As for the rest of the sports, there are lots of teams that have certain sports (basketball, but don't have a baseball or softball team or vice versa) as a result it changes the size of classifications and as a result the districts.

Also, what sites are the most popular for talking HS sports?
Obviously, this is a good site to start with.

Miami-Dade has triple the population of Duval. 2.7 million to 900k.

As of 2015, there are only eight football-playing private schools in Mississippi - 4A St Stanislaus, 3A St Andrews, 2A St Patrick and Madison St Joseph, 1A Sacred Heart, Resurrection, French Camp Academy, and Tupelo Christian Prep. The other two private schools are Piney Woods, which has never fielded a football team, and Our Lady Academy which is an all-girls Catholic school in Bay St Louis.
The MHSAA adopted the enforcement of a rule in 2015 that forced three Catholic high schools (Greenville St Joseph, St Aloysius, and Cathedral) to join the MAIS - the private school league in MS. The rule forbade students from adjacent states from attending Mississippi private schools, as you noted - as all three of those schools border Louisiana and much of their student population resides there, they chose a different path with the MAIS which has 85 football playing schools (although several are 8-man), roughly 1/4 the size of MHSAA.
Private schools in MS rarely win championships in football - as a matter of fact, they have only three times since MS started their playoff system in 1981: St Stanislaus in 2009, French Camp in 2013, and Cathedral in 2014. The 2014 championship win by Cathedral created some serious sour grapes with the losing public school teams who claimed that Cathedral cheated by having out-of-state kids (nearly all of which had attended Cathedral since elementary school) - those sour grapes were the impetus for the rule.

Congrats 4 A Madison finally won the 1 A Championship

did he just graduate from high school, holy cow that guy looks young!

Merely raising the question of a player participating in 51 plays shows how clearly our society as fallen into the nanny state of mind.

I don’t write a whole lot on here but I feel like people questioning this at all is ridiculous. They won and probably because he touched the ball the amount of times necessary for them to win. That’s what football at this level is all about, fighting for your school and doing what it takes to win. 

Of course someone decides to take it to the total opposite extreme. That is a lot of carries for one game. If he was up for it, which it seems he was, then cool, go for it. But you're talking about 2 or 3 games worth of carries in one game, I can see why that's looked at as a lot.
If he doesn't have a good game against DP, I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

The rural schools will have nothing to do with playing an urban recruit factory for a championship. That's why the rural 1A designation came about in the first place - much of what is now 1A were going to create their own association and drop FHSAA because they felt they couldn't compete (usually rightly so) with equivalently sized urban/private schools that could attract good players across high density population areas.

So we gonna litigate to limit the number of carries backs can get? Then we need to limit the number of passes QBs can throw and the number of blocks OL can make., etc....
We could just do away with the whole intentional contact thing but we'd need to keep the pads and helmets (someone might accidentally bump someone else), but put little ribbons on the little boys and let them play flag football instead. 
 
Sarcasm noted yet?

Win 7 next year and you'll probably get in. Right now you sound like a big giant cry-baby. Man-up or go find a safe space to pout.

Niceville/Navarre had about 10k SRO. 

I was hoping Franklin County could be in a bowl.  It would be awesome for that community but I haven't seen anything mentioned on them.
