  1. Think I'll go to this one as I don't do long drives at night anymore, ie Celtics @ NFC in Tallahassee.

    it's a 6 quarter jamboree too with JV teams playing the first 2 quarters, then all 4 Varsity teams the last 4 quarters
  2. Seems Braden River doing a nice job of loading back up this offseason and the OL coach Spencer Hodges is one of the best coaches around, wouldn't be surprised if he isn't a head coach somewhere in the future

  3. Baseball falls in back to back games

     

    First Saturday @Lincoln 2-0 and last night @Suwannee 8-0

     

     

    Softball wins 3rd straight and back to back over defending state champions

     

    They followed up on 2-0 victory last Friday over defending 2a champs Aucilla Christian and won 7-6 over defending 6a champs Gainesville IN THE PURPLE PLACE OF GHS

     

    Good luck to both teams moving foward and congrats to softball for taking down Gainesville to prove there only one alpha school in north central Florida and it not GHS, it's CHS

    2 big-time wins for the softball team.. definitely 2 momentum building wins
  4. 4 team district not a bad spot

     

    1 win in tourney and you go to playoffs

     

    Last year Middleburg lost every regular season district game then beat number 1 seed Gainesville in tourney and sent Gainesville home and went to playoffs

    that's very true. Baseball is just a game that is very hard to predict, just never know what's going to happen when District play rolls around, maybe Vanguard and Columbia will battle for district title this year lol
  5. Seems like in both cases vanguard has been held down from Gainesville most years but this time Gainesville had to take a back seat to vanguard in both sports

     

    Maybe vanguard can complete the trifecta and take them down in baseball too 😂

    I'll be really surprised if we pull something off in baseball lol we haven't been to the Playoffs in years and from what I have gathered we're off to another rough start😂😂
  6. Congratulations to the Dillard Panthers. Very impressive hoops season.

     

    Congratulations to Vanguard as well. Between football and basketball - very impressive seasons...

    much appreciated Broward, hopefully we can maintain this success for along time coming, basketball is hard to predict because we're losing so much after this year. Football should be really strong for awhile with a very strong JV group coming up mixed with the 2 all Americans we have coming back in Watkins and Manuel
  7. Great win and congrats on state title number 7, y'all were definitely the best team I seen in the 2 days I made it over their, well rounded complete team, Edgewater was up 17-15 late in the first then y'all hit them with a 28-5 run to close the half including holding them without a field goal the entire 2nd quarter, those runs y'all put together are impressive in itself, well deserved

  8. No doubt. And their was alot their, atleast 200 to 250 people I'd say, not bad for an afternoon game and we had somewhere around the same, but like I say not bad for a game on a weekday in the afternoon, as far as y'all's fans had to travel from Ft Lauderdale, That's a 3 and a half hour trip. Saturday every game should be really packed up

  9. It was a great game all the way through for almost a full 3 quarters, we were down 50-49 with a minute and some change left on the 3rd quarter clock, then y'all closed the 3rd on a 7-0 run and then hit us with a huge 22-5 run the last 8 minutes of the game, I knew a big-time run was coming and it was just a matter of time before it came, it's hard to run with all them athletes y'all got for 4 full quarters without getting wore down and on top of that we didn't have our 6"5 Freshman big man Leonard Manuel who was left home for missing practice on Tuesday, but I'm not the one too make excuses we had a great season and Dillard is the defending Champs for a reason, y'all are alot better then what I seen last year in the KOTS tournament,even met a few young Dillard fans after the game that were really classy and watched the 2nd 7A semifinal with them, plan on getting back on Saturday to watch y'all win it all and catch some of the other state championship games as well. Edgewater will be a tough game as they won their game by 30 over Lehigh but I just can't see them hanging and running with the Panthers for 4 quarters, but it was a successful season for us and I'm happy with the season we had and I appreciate it bruh, y'all are a fun team to watch that's for sure

  10. The 3 pm game pits defending state champion and always loaded Dillard Panthers up against my alma mater Vanguard knights.

     

    The other semifinal at approximately 5 pm pits Lehigh acres vs always tough and state contender Orlando Edgewater. Any thoughts and predictions on these games?

     

    I honestly don't know what to think of our chances going in but I damn well know we're going to be in for a hell of a fight against Dillard, who's 4 out of 5 starters are Committed to D1 schools, the size advantage is definitely in the Panthers favor, as our tallest guy is 6"5 freshman Leonard MoMo Manuel, I'm heading over in the morning to Lakeland to catch the 2 6A semifinal games before 7A gets going in the afternoon, win or lose once a knight always a knight and I'm damn proud of what this team accomplished this season no matter the outcome tomorrow afternoon, can't be dissatisfied with a team that hasn't been in this position in 35 years, this team has made history not only with the school but the county as well, won the first title in boys basketball since 2003, played for a regional championship for the first time since 1994, and got to state for the first time since 1982 and is also the first county team to make the final four since 2001 Belleview, couldn't be more proud of what this group has done this season

  11. What do you consider a down year? Not making the playoffs or not making it past round 1,2, etc.

     

    I agree that Booth is well liked by the admin and those around to be fired after another year.

     

    Now if we (Manatee) miss the playoffs this year, he gets fired.

     

    Booster are growing tired after the past success we had.

     

    Too much talent here to miss playoffs or only get to second round.

    I agree their is way too much talent to miss the playoffs and I don't think they will miss the playoffs being in the district they in, they should make the playoffs and go a round or 2 and that will probably be enough to keep Booth around for atleast another year
  12. Amen i pray i can come cross 25$ for the fan bus & the 7$ state ticket i missed lakeland last year & i really wanna c them 2 pete & thanks bro we made that gym our gym u should have seen it lol

    lol I bet y'all did, and hopefully you can make it over, did y'all travel well to Lakeland last year that you know of? I seen to that they're no longer going by sessions over their anymore, just charging 10 dollars for a day pass..
  13. Good win down their in Miami tonight..We will see y'all in Lakeland on Thursday, I'm already getting that day off lol, wouldn't miss it for the world, don't have any early predictions on what the score will be but I know we're going to come in swinging and be clawing and put up a fight to the very end, we going to enjoy this one for the time being tho and get ready for next week.
