I heard you canceled one of those games and added Deltona
-
Cypress creek, oak ridge, freedom, Olympia, west orange and Mainland I know of. Come on pipe dreams name the others. I know two of them have to be Orange County so maybe Apopka and another. Only leaves you two games left
-
Mainland had Cocoa on the schedule last year but it got canceled.
So 2016 was Cocoa, DP, Bartram Trail, FPC, Deland
2017 Cocoa, Treasure Coast, Deland ??, ??
plus a week district with Pine Ridge, Seabreeze, NSB, Deltona, Mantanzas
-
so do you feel you upgraded the schedule?
-
Apopka is scared? I thought you were looking to bump up your schedule. Call IMG they will play you
-
Southridge made a lot of teams look that way... their defense was nasty
DP had 2 D1 RB's, a D1 QB, 3 D1 Wr's and 1 D1 OL and didn't average 300 yards a game. It wasn't just the Southridge defense that held them down
-
With the Qbs they have that would be a good thing for them
-
I say Cleveland -24
-
If Cleveland played Alabama. What with the pointspread be?
-
and App State could never compete with Michigan
-
Since they will never play no they can't.
-
Pahokee was not dirty however they were undisciplined and got several unsportsmanlike penalties after touchdowns for celebrations. I think the author could have written this in a way to show how Baker had class, showed sportsmanship and fought to the end even in a loss with out taking a shot at Pahokee.

I sent you a message. Let me know if you get it. Thanks

coachog Mainland is one of the best teams in the state you don't have to justify Mainlands performance. I'm not going to make this personal which is why I won't tell you who I rep and it really doesn't matter. I just don't like teams trying to switch classes. I can understand some reasons for it like teams in 4a wanting to be in a district and moving up to 5a which by the way I still don't like it. Put teams in a class and make them play. IT seems like we just give in to whatever everyone wants instead of making people deal with the hand that has been given to them. Good luck to you and if Mainland moves to 8A and makes it to the state title I will root for them. Just like I rooted for Apopka Bishop Moore Osceola Dr Phillips Boone Lake Brantley Warner Christian Seminole and any other team that has made it the last 15 years.
-
I'm sure it has nothing to do with Plant.
-
What team do you want me to represent dude. This is about Mainland not me. You must be the guy that does the pop Warner shoulder pad pop drill at the beginning of the game.
-
Seminole missed a 37 TD fg at the end of regulation and a 21 TD fg in 2ot. Hats off to them on a great season and good luck to DP next week.
-
Of course you hope they go to 8A to run from Central. look Mainland in 8A doesn't effect me but I just hate the Fhsaa lets teams move classes just to get in a weaker district region or class which Mainland is clearly trying to do by getting in a weaker class.
-
you backed out of this one. I never said Apopka but I doubt Coach Darlington is scared of Mainland. I'm sure he respects what they've done. Would be a great game to watch maybe you should play them even if it is just a spring game.

You say your team is better than Mainland but remains nameless. There are few that have better success than Mainland. The reasoning behind the move is to be able to schedule tougher teams. The way it is now there is very little room to schedule teams. There are 5 teams in the district (Deltona, Matanzas, New Smyrna, Seabreeze, and Pine Ridge), plus Mainland's A.D. schedules Deland and Flagler every year for the money games and its tradition. So that leaves only three weeks left. Mainland scheduled DP, Cocoa, and Bartram Trail. By moving to 8A and put into the suspected district the Deland and Flagler game will already be there and not have to be scheduled outside of the district, that frees up two extra weeks to schedule whoever. So Mainland still has five district games but also has 5 weeks to schedule whoever, well probably 4 weeks because Seabreeze is the rival. There was a lot of thought that went into the move and it had nothing to do with dodging Dade County. The head coach didn't want to move at first because of people saying this exact same thing. Mainland has the students to be 7A but petitioned for 8A because of travel. There are no 7A teams in Volusia County. Mainland would have to travel to St. Johns County and Alachua County in 7A whereas 8A there would only be one trip that was farther and that would be in Duval county.
so one more game? If the fhsaa lets Mainland move they should let everyone just pick their class. There is only one team in Central Fl with a better resume the last decade than Mainland and three others with similar resumes. You figure it out. By the way your team backed out of a game with them a few years ago.
-
Even though mainland might have been best 8a team for several of last few years the 8a is by far the most competitive class so i see no real issue with it
It is much easier right now to win 8A over 7A or 6A. STA, Venice, Carol City, Northwestern, Miami Central, Plant would all win 8A this year
-
not a Mainland hater at all. was at the Carol City game rooting for Mainland. The fact is they are 6A and are only trying to move to 8A to avoid Central and Carol City in the third round. Mainland will still kill the other district in 8A. The only thing this has to do with is competing for a championship. Go out and schedule 6 tough teams not in the district if you want better competition. By the way my team is one of the few that has done better than Mainland. But that really doesn't matter.
-
They would have a few state titles in 8A over the last 5 years. However if the fhsaa lets them move up it is a joke.

Pahokee?

no the title will be vacated. No 1A champion.
