If Bright House, er. Charter would distribute that channel to the other cable carriers in the state then that would be a MAJOR win for high school sports in Florida.

Hear 26 transferred in. Probably a good coach. But anyone can turn a team around with that many new kids!!

Kerwin Bell's goal was always to HC a major college team. He went up to Jacksonville and coached a total loser, Jacksonville University a Division 1 school, to two Pioneer Football League championships. He now is the HC of Valdosta State University. VS last won the Gulf South Conference championship in 2010. I expect them to be back there by next season under Bell.   

sun lake is the #1 team in pasco according to www.pascocountyfb.com

Can you explain why Maxpreps preseason poll has Trenton ranked at 16 ahead of Columbia at 20..LOL             http://www.maxpreps.com/rankings/football/1/state/florida.htm
 

he means they knew Central wasn't playing games no more

he means they knew Central wasn't playing games no more

the only other school is Wharton
 
yes Hillsborough has fallen way off. It is a result of them not bringing in the elite athletes
This started when Middleton was built but has more to do with the satellite school and the rise of TBT
 
 
last year they lost to King and Blake.................

I coached at Tampa Bay Tech and they are a str8 magnet school with no boundaries. the kids have to apply and be accepted but they should really be the jugernaught in Tampa. every time they establish a player, here comes the cherry picker

The Classic is a final evaluation of all players on the team before the regular season. Just about every player gets a chance, including the JV, to show what they can do and how they can help the team. Just as a pre-season Sping game, the outcome of a KO Classic is meaningless. If a HC is doing his job then he could care less what the score is at the end only that he got some valuable information under a real situation and that none of his players got hurt.

Josh always has rankings on this site and has some big plans on how to do them from now on.

Yup, 8 is the max for JV. 

What iz you talkn about?
a lot of teams play they JV's in the 4th quarter

I was talking about the 2014 state game that was complete b.s. against Central.
Man what is it with these zebras? Let the kids play!

I totally agree with you. Back in 2014 the proposed realignment had Mainland in 6A north, where they should be but the FHSAA decided to relocate them back to the south when the final alignment was set. Armwood beats teams mentally before the even set foot on the field in the north. It's kinda like De la Salle in California. Thier dominance in northern California is Ridiculous! They haven't lost a game against NorCal teams in over 15 years.

Upsets in an exhibition game?

How much stronger is 6A South (Regions 3+4 or simply Region 4) versus 6A North (Regions 1+2) overall?
 
Here are some interesting facts to think about:
 
Armwood:
 
Year       Games Played  Record   Point Differential vs. Opponents (Reg season + 6A North Playoffs)      Avg. Victory Margin per game
 
2015            14                14-0                                     402 pts                                                                                                      29 pts
 
 
2014            14                14-0                                     515 pts                                                                                                      37 pts
 
 
2013            14                14-0                                     423 pts                                                                                                      30 pts
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
AVG:            14                 14-0                                    447 pts                                                                                                      32 pts                                                                  
 
 
Armwood versus Miami Central the last 3 years at State Championship:
 
Year      Score        Margin of Loss
 
2015     L 13-48             35 pts
 
2014     L 10-24             14 pts
 
2013     L 7-52               45 pts
______________________________
 
AVG:     L 10-41             31 pts
 
 
 
 
If there is any Classification that needs to be looked at and possibly addressed by the FHSAA it is 6A.  The parity is by far more drastic than any other Classification. It is obvious that outside of Armwood in 6A North ( Region 3+4) there have been NO teams that would compete without getting severely embarrassed at a State Championship.
 
The fact that the Armwood basically gets beat at states by and average of 31 pts and Armwood has bullied their opponents by 32 points throughout the last 3 years is something to think about.
 
The fact that Miami Central arguably has 5 opponents in 2016 that could upset them, and Armwood is 42-0 leading up to states the last 3 years needs to be noticed by the FHSAA.
 
If there was a way to slide Daytona Mainland to Region 2 it might help.

Looks like the AP poll agrees with me 

I remember that one too.  He was the coach!

Pulling for MC hard, might go to the O to watch them this year

5A Preseason State (Region)
 
AHP (4)
 
Bishop Moore (4)
Tampa Jesuit (3)
 
Tampa Jefferson (3)
Rickards (1)
Wakulla (1)
 
West Florida(1)
Clay (2)
Merritt Island (4)
North Marion (2)
 
Others: Ponte Vedra (4),   Ribault (1), Suwannee (1), Miami Jackson (4), Dunbar (3),  Coconut Creek (4), Cardinal Gibbons (4), Hallandale (4), Nature Coast (2) Zephyrhills (2), Palm Bay (4), Stranahan (4)

It's possible they can fall short but I don't see it happening honestly, they're both so much better than everybody in their class come playoff time, last season was supposed to be Cocoa year again with BTW being so young and Cocoa still couldn't get by them

I am SUPER excited for you T1.  I wish I was going to be around to support.  

Gulliver Prep went Indy now...

yes but it really came out of BYU and Levell Edwards in the mid 80's
