FLFB

there is now a power shift..... NW gets the pick of the litter now in regards to players. That's what happen when u win these games. They beat central 3 times in a row. 

You can't make that statement, none of the 407 teams play the top Miami schools
Almost all the good OC teams are in 8A, which features none of the top south FL programs, good ones, but not top. So it gives the illusion that they have a number of state level elite programs when in reality they just get to dodge the STA's, MC's, MNW's, etc. of South FL.
OC has a lot of good teams, but no elite ones, at least this year (not saying they haven't had any in years past)
All the population center counties Dade, Broward, PB, Hillsborough, Orange, Duvall put out elite talent
And the Cardinal Gibbons- Jones game was never in doubt. It was 20-7 CG at the end of 1, 30-16 CG at the half, and 40-24 CG after 3. Not necessarily a blowout, but the game was never in doubt. Certainly not a "tough" game, and CG was on the road

Dalvin Cook was the best high school RB I have ever watched play in my humble opinion

LMAO

LMAO

I'd bet on it

They take a seat after being defeated in the hardest district in the state, and show the ultimate example of how flawed the playoffs are and have been in FL.  That fortunately is/has been addressed and the new format will begin next year.  No more Strawberry and Lemon Bays playing in the postseason off of default while teams like Northwestern, Carol City and Central caliber teams stay home.

...and who in 6A north do you see that loss coming at the hands of?
 
They will roll through 6A north just as they have each of the last 3 years

Watched them against Grayson, I didn't see a team that would beat everyone in Florida or be best in nation
 
They could compete with anyone in Florida but I can see a few teams that would beat them, i can see Oxbridge winning the game against them

Your talking about the SJB team that has that fast ass qb? Their good.. wouldn't say their that great... I don't take Cali teams that serious since they don't play defense over there... We will see this week... This Will be Bishop first time this year playing against real studs at defense...

We heard that before...STA is going to pound the bishop...

I think this is an underrated game. I think Norland is going to give AHP all they can handle. What say you? Game is at 5:30 on NFhs network.

I admit I was wrong. 
 
I only watched most of the first quarter of it then stopped watching to do something else and never did end up finishing the rest of the game.
 
I went off what I heard and that was that they couldn't do anything whatsoever vs Flanagans defense and were dominated at the l.o.s.

Just checking on you brother. At 1-3 I figured you may be ready to throw yourself off a bridge.

After Dwyer at 1 the rest is butchered....and this individual has credentials to vote in the AP poll.

Well Bishop Gorman's and BTW chances just got better.
 
Cocoa 26, TCA 23 in OT.  What a game, it should never went into OT. If you watched it on ESPN2 you know what I mean.
 
For the record, Cocoa has never lost to a team in a lower classification than Cocoa's classification since Wilks took over as HC.

Pretty good list. I would take Gibbons out and have Hallandale replace them. Right now, as weak as Broward is looking, 2-10 could probably all beat one another.

Northwestern might be a good team this year

The West took it to them

I would say Dillard Panthers is the second greatest fan. 

Okay so this is really who is the second greatest fan in high school football because as we all know Columbiahighfan is the most die hard heart on his sleeve fan in all of sports. It is a real shame every school doesn't have a fan like him. No matter the topic he can get it back to Columbia football in some way. Heck, he starts the majority of threads on this board.  Here's to you Columbiafan, I wish you and your tigers much success this year. P.S. don't get too upset with Broward he's just thickening your skin up for the harsh world out.

I looked at Yisreal.  Did not add him to the power list  because - no offers yet. None that I found.  Oxbridge has stats machine guys as well - good players with no offers...
Lewis (2*) and Davis (no * as of yet) appeared to be a little behind on the offers (SE Missouri, Central Michigan type recruiting) versus the other Dwyer players so I only listed the top.   Oxbridge has several players in that category (no * to 2* with small offers)  as well including a 2019 OL - 6' 5" , 340 lbs with an offer from USF.  Quindaris Burgess could be a 3* by the end of the year - Did not list him.
I only listed the power players from each team.  PB County speaking and as  most can see, the Oxbridge roster is still loaded.  I believe they will still have solid coaching and their facilities and training is among the best inf SFL.  They may not be the best but I am not convinced that there is anyone better in PB County going into week one.  Not to mention, they are probably playing the hardest week 1 game for PB County teams.

The team I'd keep my eye on is Winter Haven.  8-3 last year but no playoffs.  Their 3 losses: to Osceola 27-18, to Kathleen 23-13 and to Lakeland 14-13.  The return a lot of players, including a really good QB and a veteran coaching staff. 

I was at the game last night. BTW looked good but I will say AHP is overrated. The QB was not impressive. The RB had ONE nice run of about 15 yards. The lack of QB play made it hard for the WR's to make plays. The defense is decent but nothing to write home about. And lastly very undisciplined. Now I do believe they will get their act together to win 5A, but I won't be surprised if Colquitt beats next week if they go up there with the same game play. They should fall in the polls if any come out on Monday. As for BTW once they got thier wheels rolling it was a wrap. True test comes next week in STA. Ice will have them ready. And I can see them winning that game. Won't be shocked at all. Game with Central will be huge as well because they match up with each other well.

Well after watching the game via the link, heres my thoughts...
 
I was very impressed by Manatee, they looked in midseason form and executed well on both sides of the ball, ST could use a little work though.
Offensively I was very impressed by the QB Colagiovanni, he was accurate and made good decisions and has that added dimension of mobility to his game, I imagine his height (listed as 5'10", maybe less in reality) costs him a lot of offers he might otherwise get. The WR core is deep with 4 guys who are very athletic and sure handed. The RB was also impressive, big physical dude who is very athletic for his size. The OL is a little undersized and has room for improvement, especially in pass protection but the QBs quick release helps alleviate that.
Defensively they are very young returning only 2 starters from last year yet still performed well. They bent a lot but rarely broke and routinely stepped up when they needed to most. The DL consistently got pressure on Armwood's QB all night and the back 7 was solid vs a loaded Armwood receiving core. To think that they had only 2 returning starters is crazy and with the inexperience they should only get better and better as the season goes on.
I was not high on Manatee coming into this season but after watching them vs an elite opponent I change my mind. They don't have any blue chip studs like those past Kinnan teams and not even that many FBS offered guys for that matter, but what they do have is a lot of really good FCS/D2/D3 level hsfb players all over the field, in addition a lot of their players are young so they should continue to improve throughout the season.
I wasn't expecting much from them before but now I definitely believe they will be a player in 8A north
 
As for Armwood all I can say is sloppy! sloppy! sloppy! While Manatee looked sharp and in midseason form, Armwood was obvious they were playing their first game of the season.
Penalties absolutely killed them, too many to count. They showed their explosive potential offensively and were able to move the ball but drives always ended up getting killed by penalties or mistakes like bad snaps. The QB Black was a bright spot for them, very impressive. Was under duress the whole game yet was very elusive and only sacked once or twice I think, consistently made plays with both his legs and arm while under pressure. The OL is big but not terribly athletic, penalties aside they were the root of Armwood's failure to find a rhythm offensively
Defensively penalties were a problem as well, and there were too many busted coverages including one that resulted in Manatee's first TD (granted Im pretty sure they were playing without a USF committed safety who was out with an injury)
Sloppy game overall however its the first game and was still a close game to a good opponent despite all the self inflicted issues. They will improve as the season goes on and come playoff time they should roll through 6A north towards Miami Central again.
