  1. TCA will schedule whatever 2A teams are in their district and then will schedule their usual "Murderer's Row" of higher classification teams out of district. Hopefully we will be one of those higher classification teams that they schedule. We have some serious business with the Conquerors in order to ameliorate last season's 3rd round defeat in Ocala.
  2. Hmmmmmm. Trinity Christian Jax is now in 2A. IMO they were too powerful for 3A so can't imagine an easier time they will have in 2A. Was looking forward to a rematch with them in 2021. Wonder if we will play them out of district at some time? Hope so.
  3. Since when is the FHSAA the Governor of the state? Also, Spring football, 4 months before the start of the regular season, is basically not necessary. It's nice to have but is overall not necessary to the HS football season. I'm thinking that the FHSAA had a wait and see what happens attitude for cancelling spring games. They waited and saw. Then allowed the regular season to commence. What the Governor did and continues to do is to insure that Florida remains prosperous unlike some of the locked down states that are becoming black holes.
  4. Florida was one of the few states where most sporting events were not cancelled. The Governor did not cancel anything. If individual schools or counties cancelled their season then that is not on the Governor. My team OTC had a full season and even went to the 3rd round of the playoffs. A few other states, including New York where I grew up, had everything shutdown not just sports. And, possibly will have this coming season shutdown. Please give our Governor credit for keeping Florida open and continuing to keep Florida open.
  5. That is definitely a murderer's row of teams. For some reason I don't see Pahokee listed in 1A for 2021. Are they now independent or freelance? I even checked 2A and 3A. Can't seem to located them on MaxPreps.
  6. I agree. Would be very competitive in 3A and 4A and should be able to win titles intermittently. They could play tough higher classification schools out of district just to show that they belong. Similar to what Pahokee used to do or possibly still does.
  7. I think that we should all give Jesse a break. He seems like an avid supporter of his team and is probably a young fellow who says some things about Madison that we can all take with a grain of salt. Madison has always been an exceptional team no matter what classification they are in. They have not always been in 1A. 2011 3A 13-2 Lost in Championship Game 2012 3A 12-3 Lost in Championship Game 2013 4A 5-5 2014 4A 11-4 Lost in 3rd Round 2015 1A ................................................................ We at Trinity Catholic played Madison twice. Losing once and winning once. Believe me they are one tough team and could probably compete in 5A.
  8. Maybe a little early for this prognosis. However, many people are more in the know than I am. So, any indications from the grapevine if the 2021 season is going to a regular season to include the Spring games? I'm not much for Spring games per se as I don't think they have a lot of value so early in the season and are open to possible injuries with players who have not fully acclimated to the full contact schedule. That being said I'm still interested to know if they will be played.
  9. Congrats to you Dillard guys. Dillard seems to have come a long way from the bleak years especially after Coach Tate had to take over from your previous coach Frasier who passed away. He must be one heck of a coach to keep that team together and winning that's all I can say.
  10. I still kind of like the idea that a couple of folks on here have put forward previously. If we cannot completely stop transfers or recruiting for sports only, which is my first preference, then how about if a team is a consistent loser in a specific class that they move down one or two classes regardless of student size. In addition if a team consistently wins easily in a specific class they move up one or two classes. If you separate the good teams from the not so good teams then you have good teams remaining good and not so good teams remaining not so good. Not so good teams playing against other not so good teams will never make any of those teams really good.
  11. Not exactly smacked around when you score 33 points. That being said, I stated earlier that I was not worried about the Celtic's offense I was somewhat apprehensive about their defense against a prolific team like TCA. The Celtic defense, although very good, is not quite on the level of the better teams in the state. TCA just happens to be a better overall team at least on this Friday. OTC will have most of their starters back for next season and will be a force to be reckoned with.
  12. Should be interesting. Last season the Celtics defeated the Conquerors 23-21 in the playoffs. Can they do it again? My feeling is that both teams are better than last season's teams. The Celtics have a pretty good offense and a defense that is starting to get noticed. Both teams lost to Bolles. OTC also lost to the Villages 27-25 and to Sandlewood 17-14. Both in the last couple of minutes of each game. TCA seems to have a pretty balanced team per usual. Don't seem to have any weaknesses that I can see. They do definitely play a brutal schedule.
  13. I would think they would. The John Carroll Catholic/Trinity Catholic game was streamed on You Tube for free. However, NFHS Network will be streaming it on their platform. They charge $10.99 per month. Not much more than a stadium ticket price.
  14. Obviously there was nothing really for me to worry about as the Celtics won 48-0. Looked like they totally overwhelmed John Carroll. Oh well on to next Friday when Trinity Christian Academy will be a coming to town. Should be quite a game between two very good 3A teams.
  15. In that same first half TC put up 35 against JCC and eventually won 57-28. With that being said, TC is an undefeated 8A team which has blown out most of their opponents. It's going to be a tough go for the Celtics this evening. Just hope that we have the defensive horses to slow down the JCC offense. We do, however, have the offense to beat them.
  16. You are 100% correct. Old St. Anastasia Catholic School | Abandoned Florida www.abandonedfl.com › old-st-anastasia-catholic-school A new church school auditorium was opened on April 29, 1960 at the new 33rd Street location. Elementary school students were moved there. The high school remained at the 1914 facility until the fall of 1965, when the remainder of the students were moved to the new St. Anastasia High School (later renamed the John H. Carroll High School). I did manage to find some videos of the the team. Seems like their QB Jay Allen is a pretty good passer. They just barely defeated The First Academy so we should have a good chance against them.
  17. I'm not doubting your experience. However, the stands are usually packed for their home games. Don't know where these people come from and who they are? Maybe they just want to see a good football team play. And, I am quite sure that the stands are really packed for their away games. We all know that IMG is an institution of the privileged which I think most people accept. Unfortunately "attitude" is endemic among many of the young today and not just on the campus of IMG. Thank you for your insight though it's appreciated.
  18. As much as one can know without being actually associated with the team. We used to play them just about every season and I attended the games. They are usually a very solid team that is very well coached. However they did seem to run into trouble against Armwood and Lake Gibson when they and Vanguard were in 6A. Anything else I will try my best to answer.
  19. Unfortunately they require a subscription to read the articles. However, did check out the Fort Pierce newspaper which has some info on John Carroll in the playoffs. THANKS.
  20. Know absolutely nothing about this Fort Pierce team except for their record. Cannot find any videos on You Tube nor much written about them including HUDL. Their record is 8-1. Anyone from south Florida been to their games or that know about this team? To play so many higher classification opponents they must be pretty good. They're also averaging 350 YPG on offense. 6A Port St. Lucie - W 6A Okeechobee - W 4A Avon Park - W 8A Treasure Coast - L 6A South Fork - W 8A Central - W 5A Jensen Beach - W 6A Sebastian River - W 3A First Academy - W 3A Holy Trinity Episcopal - W
  21. I have a novel thought. How about we get rid of all classifications and have each team decide who they are going to play. The teams with the best records would participate in playoffs. One champion would be crowned.
  22. Just like every private school they have to recruit in order to pay the bills. I don't know how else private schools would get students to enroll in their institutions and pay for it. Unlike public schools they are a business. Most businesses actively recruit employees. In this case it is students instead of employees. Just my two cents.
