Dan in Daytona

ColumbiaFan, faith and or religion got nothing to do with it. Corkey Rogers is still there and most of us assume he's still got some public school athletes Trinity Christian did not get. #nobabeinthewoodshere

Since this tread has already been highjacked, I'LL give my opinion on 2016 Mainland/Central. First off no ordinary fan on the planet has watched more Mainland football then myself. Darter and I have seen all of MC's title games. He also knows Mainland very well. I agree 90% with what he and MC Rocket have said above about a possible Buc/Rocket 2016 rematch. 2016 Mainland has the strongest passing game they have EVER had. A half dozen guys can catch the ball, and do. The RB is a strong, tough north/south runner with average speed. Both O & D lines are young and not as strong as years past " At this stage", but are improving. LB'er are solid but at times gamble. Corners are good, but don't get much help up top. Safely is D-1. Kicking game average at best. Return team is very dangerous. Cocoa game will peg Mainland's true strengths and deficiencies. They play real "D", smash mouth offense. Can Mainland beat Central? Sure they can. Will they? Don't know that. Last year's loss to MC was the biggest beatdown of the 5 games between the two In a physical sense. In 2011 the teams were equal. 2013 I think ( or was it 2014 ) Mainland was the better team. This would be the 6th game since 2009 between the teams. Mainland has never beat them. Not many teams have since then.

Outside of off season 7 on 7, Mainland has never played Armwood to my knowledge.

DP looked flat from the get go. Mainland jumped on them and never let up. Along the way the Bucs had their most effective rushing attack in years. Most diffently the better team won tonight just like last year. Heads up Panthers. Nothing to be ashamed of DP. You played one of the better programs in Florida. Good luck in 8A. Mainland 42 DP 21

tanman, it's all in good fun. Hope all walk away healthy. May the sadness of your short trip home refocus the Panthers in their 8A playoff run. This with the understanding that DP just hooked up with a Top 3,(Cocoa,Apopka) in all of Central Florida from coast to coast.

DP by 14? And what is Santa bringing you for Christmas this year?

Come on over Darter. I got the Bucs by a minimum of 20. Some might call that delusions of grandeur; or the ramblings of an old has-been. Pick one or formulate another. Darter call up your boy Mid/Pipe Dreams. Chicken wings on me Houligan's on ISB (next to Outback ) across the street from the Volusia Mall. 4:00

Just not this Friday night:)

Me too, thanks for the link. I figured this site would get me the hookup,

Solid post again Jessica. I was wondering where you were.

ProSet,all is well, thanks. Mainland has reloaded and is still being lead by the best QB in its nearly 100yr history. Sr Denzel Houston can do it all. Both O & D-lines are young and it might take a short while to get up to speed. With Bartram Trail, Cocoa, and Dr Philips scheduled early they'll be ready come Miami Central/ Carol City time. Kicking game looks solid.

Zoe, Columbiafan got me to re-check it out. It looks sweet

Thanks boss, I'll be nice

Daytona Mainland fan in the house. Peace
