Considering the number of teams are lowering I'll probably make them but at a lower quanity
Likely as top 25
Just rank the ones still playing

The first meeting was a great game. Defense, defense, and some more defense.

FHSAA shall receive 25 percent of gate receipts or the total net profit after host expenses, whichever is less. The amount remaining after host expenses and FHSAA share are paid are to be divided 55 percent to the host school and 45 percent to the visiting school(s).
Thanks for clearing that up badbird. Actually after my last post on this I went and spoke with a school administrator I know and got the explanation you gave.

I thought it was split 40/40 with fhsaa getting 20
I think FHSAA does get some of it and I am just going by percentages that someone told me last week which may be off a little, but my overall point that everyone benefits financially from more asses in the seats is the same. If you can't get a crowd at home your only advantage as a team is not having to travel.

So PSJ could have guaranteed Cottondale $4,000 after paying them an average of what their home gates were for the year, and the cost of gassing up the busses and whatever else comes with that? (Police escort, bus driver, etc)
wow. Big money ballers over there in the Port of Saint Joey!!!!!
Their share of the gate would have been about 4000 more than what they got at home. Home team gets 2/3 gate and covers paying for officials. Visitor gets 1/3 of gate. This is just during playoffs. Financially it is better for teams that don't draw good crowds to play at teams that have high turnout.

Attendance is terrible in Florida.
North Florida has better attendance because those schools have been around forever and the people who actually still live up there love and support their team to the fullest.
North Florida is the closest thing to real Friday night lights as you will get in the state.
Fun fact. The Texas 6 MAN state title outdrew the Florida 7A state title with Plant and STA last year
One problem we have with championship attendance is having games on Thursday afternoon etc. I think you would do better not having all games at 1 venue. Let's face it 4500 people in a 60000 seat stadium is a little sad looking. If you had a couple of smaller regional stadiums and have teams play at the stadium most geographically central to the 2 teams. Better turnout less cost to teams.

No one will deny their fans a home playoff game especially a team like Cottondale who never make the playoffs. because how much money could PSJ have given Cottondale to give up their gate and offset all the travel?
About 4000 dollars more. They could definitely use the money for stadium improvements. If they had a good turnout then a home game is worth it but if you don't have fans show up there is no home field advantage, so get the money.

About 25 people on Dillard side which about around the second quarter and beyond mark it reduced to about 10 and at the start of the 4th Qt it was about 5 or 4 fans left in the stands
Carol city had about 50 to 60 fans come out and about mid way threw the third beginning 4th it reduced to about 25 30 fans for them
So less than 500 dollars gate. How do they even pay the officials?

Just wondering how attendance was for those of y'all who made it out to games. I was sorely disappointed with attendance at the PSJ/Cottondale game. Port St Joe looked to have 400 or so make the 1hr 45min drive to Cottondale, the home team looked to have maybe 250 there. Had the game been played in PSJ there would have been 3000+. Just quick gate estimates 5200 vs 24000. Cottondale gets 3000 for playing at home vs 7000 for playing at PSJ. I think FHSAA needs to consider attendance in determining home games in the playoffs. For teams that make it deep into the playoffs money becomes an issue and everyone benefits financially from bigger gates. Teams that are financially sound will be okay but some of these struggling schools that make a run will be in trouble with small gates. A run to Orlando can really put a strain on finances.

Using my awesome math skills I have come up with the average scores for the 1A-4A first round games
1A 46-14
2A 41-11
3A 38-14
4A 41-9
So I think the problem with blowouts has definitely been solved.
5A 34-16
6A 31-13
7A 38-16
8A 37-11
Average margin of victory 27 points

once again you missed the point. Great job. Nebraska football sucks
I think this is just the beginning, we can copy Nebraska's wetland management program, their coastal construction plan, and their saltwater fisheries management.

No one said that. Cocoa should be in the same class as teams like Chaminade and Oxbridge.
4A is horrible
4A is a mess. In our area the 4A schools are dominated by the 1A schools, keep in mind that most of these 1A schools have less than 300 students in 9-12 and 4A has minimum 601. I really think 4A should be split up between 1,3,5A. The smaller 3A private schools should be moved down to 2A.

4 games played and none were competitive.
Closest game was 21-3.
Cocoa made a mockery of Lake Placid even being in the playoffs. Champagnat as well with Neumann. They let there foot off the gas. I think they were winning by 4 scores in the 1st quarter.
Lot of blowouts coming tonight too. I guess there is no avoiding it
There are a handful teams like Cocoa that are going to blow out everyone they play but I would be willing to bet that more than half the games this week will be won by 20+ points.

In my opinion seeding isn't that big of a deal except for home field advantage. If you can't beat a team in the first round you probably aren't going to beat them in the 2nd or 3rd round. I realize every team wants the ride to last as long as it can but there are only 8 teams that aren't going to lose. I don't think there is any way to prevent mismatches the fact is we have a lot of great teams every year and there are blowouts every round even in the finals and I don't see this year being any different.

Wish that could have been our first game opponent lol but nahh panther nation want Carol city
A buddy of mine coaches at NBH, I talked to him Monday and asked what he was doing he replied, "I'm trying to figure out how to keep Raines from hanging 80 points on us." He has his work cut out for him.

If you haven't seen on twitter where some a**hole told Josh to stop begging for sponsors and get a "real" job then let me tell you, ole JW got hot. I'm proud of Josh for standing up for himself his team and his website, while remaining professional the whole time. I would have most likely cussed the guy, his fat wife, his whore momma, his ugly kids, and his mangy dog. But Josh kept it together.

And the FlaHSFootball Twitter also reported the same thing the same day.
I shared that on the board a couple of weeks ago. Palmer has been at practice and upstairs during the last game and in the locker room pregame and at the half. Josh Dailey is performing HC duties and running day to day operations but Palmer is taking a bigger part in things over the last week and a half. I don't know what next year holds but PSJ will have about 20 seniors. I do know that after the news story broke that there were multiple coaches from successful high schools and some D1 college assistants that made contact with the school about the job. I do know that the job is not open at this time and the school is not actively seeking a replacement for Palmer. Ideally everyone associated with PSJ would like to see Coach Palmer get a clean bill of health and return to his duties.

FootballScoop has a ton today:
Port St. Joe (FL): Per source, head coach John Palmer will not return.
Liberty (FL): Per source, head coach Doug Gabriel has been let go.
Ridgewood (FL): With the school eliminating all sports to transition into a technical school, head coach Jay Fulmer will no longer lead the football program.
Land O’Lakes (FL): Brian Wachtel will not return as head coach, per source.
Check the source on PSJ. Palmer looked pretty good when I talked to him yesterday. Unless he is the source, I wouldn't count him out.

So glad Richt is at Miami. The Canes being a contender again just makes things seem right in the world.
