Pipe Dreams

2016 is better. The 2017 class is loaded especially on defense. Last year the team was mostly juniors. Remember last year Osceola beat DP 20-19 on a pick 6 and West Orange scored 2TDs in the last minute to beat them. DP had their worst outings of the year against Mainland, Olympia (24-14) and Freedom (38-0) this year. The Apopka game came down to the last play and DP was on the 5. Apopka and DP are about even but we all know what happened to APK.

iice cold docta peppa heayaaaa

they are toxic... some bad eggs on that board. i mean really bad people.

Huge game. Dr. Phillips defense has set school records for turnovers and scores. DP blanked Sarasota Riverview (41ppg coming in) 21-0. Many DP drives stalled deep in SR territory. DP also held its own twoce in the red zone, the first when Riverview took the opening kick back 70 yards. This DP defense is stacked now that everybody is healthy. 8.9 ppg allowed through 12 games Will be interesting.

Marvin Washington DP, 1600yds, 18-3 TD/INT, 500 rush yds. UCF commit

DP defense LB Dylan Meeks - tons of offers LB Nick Smith - NC State DE Robert Porcher - Nebraska SS DJ Charles - FAU FS Tanner Ingle - multiple offers I expect about 5-6 more underclassmen to get offers as well on the defense. DE/LB Gulla will get big offers. Some are freshman and sophomores who get good playing time. Offense has five D1 offers at QB (UCF), RB, WR, WR, OL... a third WR (jr) will go D1. Two impact freshmen (Stephen Dix and Brandon Fields) are future stars.

The AP has had DP unranked for like 6 weeks. Lost to Apopka and Mainland but 6-0 since. Defense has given up 9.7 points per game this year.

Apopka still a top team in 8A. Last night was a fluke but give props to Timber Creek. I REALLY like their coach and have for years. One of the best in Central Florida. 85% of the time or so Apopka wins that game IMO. Now it's opened up big time for Seminole. They should be in the final four. I think DP and Riverview will be a great game. Their offense is very good but so is our D.

There is no more setting up for disappointment. Every year there is a close loss so why not ride a wave of enthusiasm for once and not get scared of getting knocked out? A little mojo is what is needed. Riverview is very good. We will see what happens. DP Middle LB Dylan Meeks, the team leader, came back last night for the first time after an offseason injury. That has shifted the front 7 (where there are at least 5 D1 guys) to where they are confortable. The defense just got much better. All I'm saying is they looked good. They finally put it together. I don't care how bad you all think Manatee is, our throws were crisp, the defense was fast and the special teams did a great job. Mainland is on another level. Under rated. They are elite. They would probably beat DP by 10-14 on an average night.

DP looks damn good.

DP waxed Manatee. Could have been worse without penalties. PEAKING. Watch out AP pollsters who gave DP ZERO votes in 8A

Doesn't make sense to CLEARLY call out Jones and then when somebody actually defends them you just say it was a joke. Not how the world works. Jones probably wants to play against teams in Orlando. Not too much of a stretch there.

Manatee can beat DP if DP has an off game like they did against Olympia. Panthers haven't missed the second round since 2005. I believe 8A North will crown either Apopka, DP, Seminole or Osceola. Vero Beach is #5 to me still. Any of those five would compete in the title against the south.

DP lost to Mainland and Apopka. They scheduled juggernauts. They are the team to beat in 8A Region 2 on film and on paper. Period. Tell the AP

Marvin Washington, Dr. Phillips (UCF) ~1300 pass yards 16 TD, 2 INT ~400 rushing yards, 1 TD

Well again you are wrong. DP has lost close playoff games and in my opinion it has nothing to do with the mentality of the team. When have we given up in a playoff game? Ever think we may have just lost a couple straight blackjack hands? Sometimes streaks are the opposite of consecutive titles. The law of large numbers will even out.

In terms of pure talent the 2016 DP team is the best since 2010.

The 11-1 team in 2013 was upset by Plant but was super talented. Basically every team would have competed in the title game for the given year minus 2011. Apopka beat DP in the final four in 2012 (38-19) but that was a team DP had beaten prior in the year. The playoff losses have been close the past three years 2015: by 1 (round 3) 2014: by 3 (round 3) 2013: by 1 in OT (round 2) --- best team since 2010 Also Dan, DP does fight. They've overcome big deficits over the years. Your post was just nasty - you have seen 2 games. No fight? Mainland DP was 14-7 in the 4th quarter and a pick 6 and a long run by Mainland sealed it last year. Sorry our players couldn't catch Killins, who you boasted about for years. Heart can't make you run a 10 second 100. Chip on the shoulder syndrome? The players and the coaches are clueless? How? What the hell are you talking about? Do you GO to practice? Do you KNOW Rodney Wells and what he means to the team and former players? That's a lot of shade to throw from 50 miles away. You are trashing the whole program.

since 2010 10-2 13-1 11-1 12-1 9-4 5-2

Then neither is Apopka or anybody in 8A Dan. I'll take that.

Dr. Phillips laid an egg vs Mainland -- their best opponent but also their worst performance of the year. Bad week to play poorly. DP is better than Dan gives them credit for

I want Lakeland or Armwood against either DP or Apopka in the regular season.

21-6 DP

dumb, da da da dumb dumb dumb dum dum dum dum dummmm

oh yes, West Orange defese cannot stop the run vs average offenses.
