    Sneaky jab at our county, I can understand why.  But the top teams from your county (Hillsborough) represented in the playoffs in the classification we play over the last dozen years or more have typically taken it on the chin.  No guessing game there.

    Swint is a very, very good running back. But I have seen better over the 26 seasons I have spent watching high school football, mostly in Central Florida. In fact, Osceola had a better back in "Bubba" Brown back when they made the run at a state title in either 2008 or 2007, I forget which. And, I would rank Samaj Fleming of Edgewater as an equal of Swint. True they are very different kinds of football players, so a comparison of what each brings to the table is probably not very worthwhile. 

    I read @Jullian's comments about Grubbs with interest. He stated that he missed his receivers most of the night against Cardinal Gibbons. He largely did the same against Osceola each time he went deep. It may be that I may have overestimated his overall accuracy based on the receiving group he had last year. Three of the 4 were seniors and have graduated and they have a "new bunch". To the eye they all look the part; and he has about six to work with instead of four like he did last year. But it just seemed to me that the route running and passing were off. I expect as the season progresses,  it will improve. If it does, LM's offense will be like a well oiled machine and I can see a potential showdown with Venice in the state title game or semi finals. 

    It was 2007.  Osceola upended Lakeland twice that season for the district title, then in the playoffs.

    To @cribboy305 and @THIS_IS_DILLARD, enjoy your youth.  You haven't made it to the peak of the roller coaster yet.  Live in it and don't rush.  When that ride drops, it's fast and there's no goin' back.

    Side note.  Probably should've made a new post for this but I didn't want to do all of that lol. 

     

    's finally here. For 10 years or more, Álumni Associations from 7 schools (Central, Northwestern, Norland, Carol City, Edison, Jackson and Booker T) have fought to have our schools get compensated for our Athletic prowess. That day is finally here.
     Starting Thursday, the new 305 network will begin televising the games of the week starting with Edison vs American High. The Friday game will pit Mlami Central vs Lakeland. And the Saturday game will pit Palmetto vs Homestead. And get this, you pay absolutely nothing to stream these games. That's right, it's absolutely FREE,
     Download the free HBCU+ app, slide to the right and click on the 305+ icon. That's how the schools will benefit. The more views and impressions, the more the advertisers will pay the schools and the District,
     You will see replays, professional announcers, and more. While nothing beats attending the games in person, this is the next best thing. So log onto the new 305 network an get your popcorn ready,

    You should make that a separate post.  That's great info!  I just downloaded and for all those who read this message, it's legit!

    Carol City beat Lakeland 44-34 in 2015, and 38-7 in 2016. Bad nights in Bryant Stadium to be sure, and hats off to the Chiefs. Back in those seasons, Lakeland also suffered losses to Bartow, Kathleen and Viera. The 'Naughts weren't super powerful in those seasons. But, those games were played *before* school choice dramatically altered rosters starting with the 2017 season. Things haven't been the same since as Lakeland has raided other rosters every year other than the plague year.

    IF Lakeland's 2024 team is basically the same type of team as the 2015/16 teams, your pick would be reasonable. Like I said earlier, I can't see into the future. Maybe you're right and this Lakeland team will prove to be about the same as the 2015/16 teams, and thus vastly inferior to every non-2020 Lakeland team since.

    As for the backend of the defense, we shall see. That unit has 4* Ole Miss commit Keon Young, who plays 7-on-7 with several Central players/coaches; 3* West Virginia commit Sammy Etienne; 3* USF commit Gillis and a player (Kayvon McKinney) who has eight (8) interceptions in his last 28 quarters of football. Maybe they get torched Friday!

    The strength of the defense is speed and quickness. How good is the defense? I have a pretty strong hunch, but will wait to disclose this until Friday ;)

    Dang, I guess I should've scrolled down before replying to @THIS_IS_DILLARD :D

    I would say on the defensive end , especially maybe the corner back end. Haven’t seen Lakeland play lately. But I do knew a few years back when they were really really good they hosted Carol City in back to back years I believe and both years they couldn’t contain the speed of carol city and they were getting bombed all over the field. And if I’m not mistake. Carol city put over 40 both times
     

    I have nothing against Lakeland so I actually hope it’s a good game & if Lakeland was to win it would most def shock the nation. 
     

    you know your naughts so maybe you can educate me what do you guys bring in this year and if you guys were to win this weekend what area of your team do you believe would be the reason why. 

    2014 CC 44-34 Lakeland

    2015 CC 38-7 Lakeland.  Same season CC defeated LG 14-6 for the title
