    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.

    Ok, where do I start. First off, The Mainland players are "clueless" to the fact that they don't always have the most talented team. Mainland has the "chip on their shoulder." Or some might call it an inferiority complex. Every game is a manhood challenge for Mainland regardless of the opponent. Sorry for the confusion. That better ? Now get this part straight. At no time did Dr Phillips in the two '15, '16 games with Mainland look like the better team (IMO). Both were 20 point wins. Our most resent games with Ft Pierce Central(2), American Heritage-Plantation(2),and Miami Central(4) were eye opening. Bucs went 3-5 and could have been 0-8. Dr Phillips showed me little of what those others did on the field. Didn't see it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not.

  2. Vero Beach vs Sebastian River 11/4

    I can tell you this much, I've been on KP's staff at DeLand and he will have those boys ready to go, focused on the prize and flying to the ball on defense!! Keep sleeping on Sebastian River, they are gonna shock some teams this year!! Good luck Sharks!!

    From reading the other board (FlaVarsity) it appears KP has built a "D" like the one at Deland. That '09 team looked a lot like Mainland West, only wearing Green. The movers and shakers of that little ole boy town weren't to pleased with that much diversity and the Bulldogs have never recovered. See: Deltona,Orange City,Trinity, and now Sebastian River.....Mainland coming at you, no playplay here.

    Is it just me or since the state title game in 2010 against Central that Dr. Phillips hasn't been the same.

    Slick, I saw that title game. It was close. I believe some of the coaching has changed. I'd look there first, but I got no knowledge. They are a big team and have many D-1 type athletes. More then Mainland for sure. Darter and Pipe Dreams would know the answer to your question.

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

    Apopka would give Mainland a much tougher time then DP.  Who see's that offense with those athletes ? Only teams that play them yearly get enough practice time to work on defending it. Once in a bluemoon type teams have trouble. In two years I never saw the "fight" in DP. They knew they were going to get beat. Mainland could be 5-5 and they would always think they were the better team and fight like hell to prove it. It's a chip on the shoulder syndrome. Real or imagined they must prove themselves. They play like a Dade County team. They don't have the same athletes, but they're clueless to the fact.... Buc to my last breath

    Think much of the speculation, a long with some truth, was that Mainland, Apopka, and Miami Central all were free to play someone on week 11. There was contact....

    Anybody that saw the BTW/Raines title game and didn't believe Raines could have won it is living in denial. Battle tested BookerT, with a freshman QB, handled the pressure and the Jax. team choked.

    Choked is too strong and misleading. Championship atmosphere, nerve's, mistakes, unfamiliarity, big stage, etc. No disrespect meant to Raines. They had an abundance of talent.

    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

    Pipe, that might be true, but it's a fact that Mainland has beaten DP by more then 20pts in each of the last two years. Just "maybe" the Bucs are by far the best team to face Dr Philips. And just to clarify, DP isn't close to the level of Miami Central (IMO).

    I see on twitter that Mainland wants to schedule a game with Central and I find that funny....

    Zoe, unlike MC's district, Mainland's district is extremely weak this year and they need a week 11 opponent to stay sharp. 7A Bartram Trail and 8A Dr Phillips weren't much competition. The 'Cane knocked the Cocoa game out also. Mainland plays to the level of its competition. Regardless of the outcome, MC would make Mainland a better team, and get them ready for Dade County and the world.

    School boards have to error on the side of caution. The only shame being Saturday night will most probably be clear and beautiful. Whether Cocoa's stadium is still standing, that won't be known until late Friday afternoon. Go Tigers... see you in O-TOWN

    You're taking shots at Avon Park's schedule but touting Jones?  Come on, man, Jones's opponents are 1-4,1-4,0-5,2-4,1-5,2-5.  Apply the same standard then.

    No dog in the fight, but over the summer, at the USF 7 on 7 in Tampa, the Avon Park skill position players were very impressive. They played aggressively and looked alot like the Armwood team. I'M not surprised that someone is touting their accomplishments
