This is not going well. The rankings are a joke. FHSAA you must adjust your mystical rankings that you use and don't tell anyone how you get it.

I fixed it for you

You had to opt out before you knew if you were in or not. Pensacola probably didn't think they were going to be in so they didn't bother to opt out. That would be my guess.

The open division should automatically include STA.

How many of these top 8 win a state title? The open division is a great idea until you use the FHSAA rankings which suck.

2-8 Pensacola has to travel 6 hours to play Dunnellon in the FIT tournament on a Thursday night. What a great idea. Maybe they should lawyer up and see if they can get a judge to eliminate them from the playoffs.

Beek the refs were brutal. Worst I've seen in a long time. Jambun I'm not explaining you had to be there.

The fhsaa destroyed the program or the cheaters at Gadsen destroyed the program?

He would have Columbia ranked 25 and everyone on their schedule in the top 25

MNW out recruited Lakeland in the off season.

because they are cheating. They should suspend the entire program and not allow them in the playoffs for two years. It's one thing to give a kid a ride home from practice that lives in your zone and its another to be paying for rides for kids that don't live in your zone and wouldn't be coming to your school if you were not paying for them to get there. This was the pattern and not just a random occurrence. The physical therapy and paying for personal training is also enticement. There is a reason they got 60 recruits errrr transfers over the last two years. The school suspended him because the fhsaa is about to hammer them. Bridgewater will get a minimum 6 games suspension and a $5k fine from the fhsaa. The next time he will be suspended from ever coaching in Florida. The school is facing harsh penalties and they are trying to avoid them. The other stuff pride packs, team meals, field paint, camps could have been paid for by the school. He could have just donated the money to the school and paid for it. I'm not sure how to feel in this case. I'm sure Teddy loves Northwestern and loves those kids but he was either oblivious to the rules or didn't care to follow them.

DP beat Winter Park 21-10 in the spring game.

no, they also lost most of their skilled offensive players. Pipe Dreams can tell you about what they have coming back more than me. They will be well coached and play physical no matter what they have coming back.

It has been 4 head coaches in less than 1 year.

If they are a 3-5 star they attend Lakeland

that's false. The problem is counties or private schools can give good cause and what private school isn't going to give a D1 QB good cause when they need a QB. Public schools usually the county makes them physically move into their zone to be good cause.

Now margin of victory matters in the rankings so everyone should be running it up. We would run it up but we can't score more than 14 points in a game

Welcome back Tiger

4. Authorized for good cause in district, private or charter school board policy. This right here is the biggest joke. The FHSAA should determine if it's good cause not the county or private school who obviously wants the kid to play. I'll give an example. We had a basketball player that lived in our zone but her mom worked at another school 20 minutes away so the girl rode with her mom to school and played there. The season had started, it was very early in the season, and then mom lost her job so the mom wanted the daughter to attend our school because that was the school she was zoned for and she wouldn't have to drive 20 minutes to school and mom had no way to take her there anymore. The county denied good cause so the girl transferred to a private school even further away and they gave her good cause.

Top 1 worst top 5 list 1. Coach Graham There I had the balls to make a list

Manatee 57 Lake Minneola 19. Great top 5. It's not hard to pick 5 good teams. You picked one that will struggle to go .500. I'm not a know it all but that pick was horrible. Try again

Lake Minneola top 5. You did lots of research. Half the team is at First Academy and the other half is at Leesburg. They will be lucky to win 5 games. Deland is another that is not close to top 5 this year but will over achieve because of coaching

They do get First Academy week 2 and they loaded up on the NIL deals and transfer portal thanks to Coach you know. Remember Winter Park and all the smoke the last few years and then last year Leesburg and all the smoke now the smoke is at First Academy. They had 2 coaches of other programs quit because they were doing stuff morally wrong and the FHSAA still doesn't care. They have coaches 30 minutes away driving kids to school. By the way that's illegal but no one cares anymore. Wild Wild West. Jones and Apopka won't be easy. I wasn't overly impressed with Edgewater in the spring but they did load up on recruits err transfers. If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. Let the best cheater win.

They were a Lake County all star team because they were taking all of the Lake County players. First Academy hired the Lake Minneola recruiter and he took a bunch of the players with him to First Academy. Now Lake Minneola has a depleted roster with a tough schedule. The coach wasn't aware of this until he arrived and saw the roster.

NIL about to get passed also. Northwestern gonna get paid.
