Another thing while I'm talking about Bolles, I heard all week how disciplined they were and they never give up easy penalties but when we got up on them they started having false starts and offside penalties, they get extremely frustrated when they get down against a team, they disciplined when things go their way but when things go wrong they just like any other team

Only thing I was pointing out was from reading the part of img complaining a few plays into the game about being hit too hard is that they are a more skilled and talented version of Bolles, both are talented but will fall apart if you hit them hard enough

Leon has been bad for awhile...in the past few years they have been gutted by Godby especially...

Heck they dont want any of Trenton much less IMG !!!!!!!!!! LOL

North Marion vs Tampa Bay Tech

Well, I will say this; Booker T is indeed the favorite to win the 4A  and thats Understandable. Still pulling for My GC Raiders we are still a good team and Powerhouse in the 4A. We will meet BTW again. Ill sail with my Raider and  sink with them too. NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER LAYDOWN!
#GoRaiders!!!
 
As for Pahokee, Im not sure. They are still a Threat in my eyes in the 1A. Ill be pulling for them devils to go all the way to the state. 
 
I hope we go together like we did 10 years ago (Hint Hint!) 

And Lincoln is a water-down version of old Lincoln

Wakulla and Rickards is going to be a battle.  In the spring they played for a half and Wakulla beat them 15-14 but that doesn't mean anything.  The big game will take place in Tallahassee on Thursday, October 13th.  It should be a good one!

2007 Miami Northwestern vs. 2007 Booker T
 
Both went undefeated and won state titles. Both teams were loaded with talent. 

Rickards is my sleeper team from 5A north. 

CCC might have their best team ever this season

As a coach that has lost a couple of players to IMG I can tell you that the Florida kids that go to IMG are not concerned with winning a championship.  They are going there to be in a collegiate atmosphere whole still in school.  They go to school 4 hours a day.  Dedicate the rest to their craft.  They even have them take classes on mental toughness and preparedness.  IMG is a factory, if you can afford the 67k, awesome.  If you can earn a scholarship, awesome.  They can not recruit every kid in Florida, so I can live with the few they do steal, and they do not pretend to be anything other than what they are.

this one!
 
 
CCC vs Tampa Jesuit

We been getting great teams for recent kickoff games and we bout to compete a home and home series with Apopka this year, maybe manatee can fill their place next year if they call us up

I am not attached to any team.  I coached in Hillsborough and Pinellas for a long time.  Making the move to Palm Beach county later on this month.  Not likely to coach this fall so I am just a football fan.

Padded camps are just a way to get some good practice in.  You can see what you have talentwise, but its nothing like the season.  You don't have game prep, your not spending a week getting ready to play an opponent.  Many kids will get way more reps in camps than they will get in the fall.  Its just a good measuring stick to see where you are, and where you need to get to.

Not much compared to the 2015 team in which they lost 10 D1s including two 4*, three 3* and three 2*.  3-5 other seniors went on to D2, D3, and Juco.  They also lost 3 year Head Coach Kareem Reid that helped rejuvenate the overall program.
 
I believe some of the stronger players returning would be 2017 2* WR Akai Rainford and a pretty strong 2018 class with a few D1 offers in there.
 
The big news for Creek is the hiring of 10 year Miami Central Assistant Gerald Cox. Creek seems to be laying  low this summer.   I have heard that Creek has been hard at work and will be ready for a very tough 2016 schedule.  In early September, they have a brutal 3 game stretch in 14 days! :
 
9/2  vs. Flanagan
9/9 @ Boyd Anderson
9/16 vs. AHP
 
 
If that does not toughen them up or break them down....I don't know what will!

I am not complaining about the level of competition, those are both top ten programs.  I just get sick of hearing folks in Texas and California talk about their top programs, but when the opportunities come to play they back out, or there are scheduling conflicts.  Those TX and CA games have been hard to get since Armwood smacked Bishop Gorman and Central beat up on Katy.

That is the problem ....you pride Columbia on a regular season win versus Bolles! Did Columbia win States 4 years ago?
 
Raines also beat Bolles in the regular season last year.  They are not priding themselves on it the season because they lost at States to a team that they had the best chance of beating in a long time. It was an opportunity that they likely would like to have back versus beating Bolles has likely been forgotten.  
2015 Columbia should be remembered as a very good team that like usual - got beat in the playoffs.
 
I don't hear Deerfield Beach fans on here tooting there own horn on how they have STA's number - in the regular season.  They would trade all of those STA regular season wins for a State Championship.

Plant City just lost their HC, but they promoted the OC.  Armwood has their most talented team since 03.
