    Palmetto is a very very talented football team.  Unfortunately, they did lose their 3 star QB early in the playoff series.  True right now their offense is rather simplistic..but you still have to stop it.  Fantastic athletes make plays...its just that simple.  This week Palmetto was better than they were last week....their coaches are making adjustments on the run every week to get better and better offensively.  

    But the defense....#56-#2- #18 .....hell the whole unit, were the truth.  

    We did not line up very well last night.  

    Coach just curious couldn’t catch the game last night (honey do list that went until midnight) I did see some comments about some “hiccups” and them maybe getting an extra down or two. Anything to this? Are you guys gonna submit tape to the FHSSA? Not trying to drum up any excuses or drama just honestly wondering as a fan/alum, and not taking anything away from Palmetto they to are a very talented team. Proud of the young men this messed up season they and all schools had, they should be too!

    Osceola football team doesn't get the attention they deserve in the Orlando media market and it has been that way for the past 15-20 years.   Most of the better teams in Orlando really don't want to play them and it has nothing to do with the fan base.  If you follow them in the Orlando Sentinel, their wins are buried towards the bottom of the list.  But if they lose, it makes the headlines.  How does that fact relate to the fan base.  No, Osceola is a poorer county than Orange or Seminole so they look down their noses at us and our teams.  As far as Vero is concerned, they beat us there and we beat them at home.   This year, Vero has many key players that are seniors and if you look at Osceola 90% of their impact players are sophomores and juniors.  Best is yet to come.   Regarding the playoffs, we have one home game out of a possible four before the state championship game.  A few weeks back it looked like we would be home for those away games and that all changed recently in the bracketing for unknown reasons.  Unfortunately, years they reached the finals in 7A they had to face STA Raiders who are nationally ranked and obviously superior talent so nothing to be ashamed of there.   WE ARE,  OSCEOLA!!  GO KOWBOYS!!

    Vero was gutted this year from QB to the line, didn’t know who the starting QB was going into the season. Senior loaded? Most of the guys had some play time but Vero lost a lot compared to years past and just having seniors on your team doesn’t mean they’re starters.

    Why does this team never get any respect? With the current staff, they have played in two State Championships, won 9 straight District Titles and a bunch of play off games. I understand they have not won a State Championship, but a team that is in the middle of it every year and nobody talks about them. Play off records......3-0 against Lakeland, 2-1 against DP, 1-0 against Vero. I just wonder???? Are they really not that good? Is there coach a D*#K and nobody like them. I'm a big Kowboy fan and just wonder why when the media hits Central Florida you never hear Osceola mentioned. By the way they are playing for a Regional Championship on Friday which will be the current staff's 5th in 11 years. Not to shabby.

    Not to take anything away from Osceola they have been a great team but outside of you where are their fans? For the most part this is a msg board with people supporting their teams and that’s why certain teams get brought up more than others. I’m a Vero guy but I watch the Treasure Coast teams and there are other Vero fans. Columbia follows his team, Darter follows his team and a couple other Orlando area teams, Dillard follows his team and the Broward teams, etc etc. Feel free to talk about Osceola I think their just a bit out of reach from the Orlando fans and there isn’t a fan base of them here on the board to bring them up into conversation as much as these other teams.

    That announcer was a "homer" begging for help from the official. The ball was uncatchable and the penalty should not have been called; I think the ref believed he may have owed them one from the incidental contact a few plays before downfield. From the angle the DB came, he couldn't see if the ball was caught or not, and all he did was bump the receiver to make sure he was out of bounds, besides that, it wasn't a bad hit, more a love tap. A bad call.

    Lmao the announcer is a YouTube announcer for Vero not like he’s “begging” the refs on the field. If anything your a Orlando area homer, I’m a Vero one so of course we always like to see things play out to benefit your respective teams. I’ve seen this kind of thing play called multiple times and over looked times as well. I’ve asked how refs missed calls that Vero did and should have had go against them and vice versa. Gotta be non biased. One thing I’ve enjoyed about Darter over the years he’s always been pretty much non biased and has had some solid input. Can’t just say everything is bad that the opposing team does. IMO Vero should have lost this game with some of the horrible mistakes they made, as Darter said 8 minutes left up 2 scores, Boone had no business losing this game when it comes down to it with the turn overs/mistakes Vero gave them.

  5. I believe if he would have grabbed the ball the outcome would have been different it becomes a live play but that ball was so poorly thrown I don’t think there was any chance the WR could of grabbed it unless he was Calvin Johnson. I think he knew the guy didn’t have the ball and instead of pulling up and avoiding he still gave him a pop at the end, even his team mates looked a bit confused as to why he did that. DBs/WRs get choppy all the time maybe he just wanted to let the WR know he was there? My opinion correct call, DB made a mistake. 
     

    Same topic but not about the penalty my coach would have had my a## for ever putting my head down. First for not seeing where I was tackling and secondly that’s how you get hurt!

  6. If you look closely the ball was well over the head of both DB and WR and out of play a few yards. The DB still continued to follow thru and looks as if he shrugs his shoulder into the WR at the end of it when they both are either out of bounce or about to be. As Darter said it was unnecessary.

    yeah but he yells at officials.  I once saw him chase an official back all the way back to the locker room.  When they got back to the locker room he gave the official a dip of grizzley and a red bull.

    Coach Wilson taught me a lesson years ago:  Once a kid knows you care about him OFF the field as well as ON the field....he will play for you. 

    It is our job to teach "The Lessons In Life" that comes with participating in team sports.  It's not about only the X's and o"s, its about the Jimmies and Joes.  

    Finally, 

    I just want to line up correctly.  

    Would that have been Bill Wilson? He was before my time. I played back in the early 2000’s C/O ‘04. We had a lot of great mentors/coaches from Freshman up to Varsity. Coach Motta, Ahrens, Coggins, just to name a few were awesome coaches and mentors to myself and a lot of other kids. Maybe not so much then but looking back I appreciate what they did for us for sure.

    I coach every kid in my position group hard. Some of my kids will never see many snaps at all on the varsity level but they are here to be coached and mentored. Hard to mentor a kid that thinks you only care if he can help you win a football game on Friday night. 

    That is my thought process as well. I grew up playing for Vero where most of the coaches wanted everyone on the team to succeed in both life and football, but more so in life, and I appreciate what they did for us. There was some other positional coaches that had nothing to do with my skills group that would come over just to mentor the kids and try to make them all around better, I don’t see any of that here and honestly it was a culture shock. Glad to hear this seems more uncommon then not and that you do the right thing yourself coach. Good luck this season!

  10. I’m here in AL and one of the programs I’ve been watching their record isn’t great and I think a lot to do with it is the coaching, and having kids ready to go.

    I know there’s a lot of current and former coaches on here so I’m going to ask the questing. Do you focus your practices mostly on the starters and the 2nd stringers or certain package guys you leave to the wayside? I’ve noticed a lot with these guys they may have the back ups stand on the side 20-30 minutes and let first team do ALL reps. The other guys pay attention and try when given their shot but honestly aren’t being coached the basics (how to get properly set as a lineman, use their hands, WR sets, etc) unless they’re the starters. I was always taught the backup guys need to be practicing and shown the correct ways just as hard or harder since game time is cut down for them and their only one injury away from starting. They have plenty of help so the amount of coaches on hand to work with them isn’t a factor. Where I’m at I will have a selection of programs to put my son in this is by far the closest school for my son to go to when he’s at that point but football is an important thing to us both as a sport and life teaching tool, I may send him elsewhere, even as a starter on the principal of how kids are being treated. What’s your guy’s opinion?
