Nulli Secundus

Guess I just am confused as how the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON on this board could have erred so badly in a game involving his own team.  Again, a loss is a loss but forecasting a victory and then losing that badly.  HMMMM.

If you wanted to watch 2 tremendous defensive teams you needed to be in Lakeland tonight.  Not sure what their mindset was as maybe they thought the first game was a fluke and they would just blow us out as they had the other 11 teams on their schedule but nothing could be further from the truth.  They continually hurt themselves (trash talking, etc.) drawing 5 Unsportsmanlike Penalties during the game.   We actually ran the ball against them better than I thought we would and though I don't know the stats may have outgained them overall.  Final score was 14-7 with them mounting one drive the entire game which was an impressive 16-17 play 89 yard drive for their first TD in the 3rd quarter tying the game.  Their second score was a 60 yard TD run by Tyler Williams which ended up being the margin of victory.   Outside that, we kept their running attack in check all night.   I believe we had 3 or 4 time consuming drives of our own getting into the red zone twice and coming up empty on interceptions.  Each of those picks it appeared that our QB and WR weren't on the same page as both times it was thrown directly to the defender with the WR nowhere in the area.   We just shot ourselves in the foot on a couple of plays which could have changed the outcome.  My hats off to our tremendous group of seniors that have given us 3 years of outstanding teams with hopes of a state title, but it just wasn't to be.  Good luck to Lakeland in the finals. 

I love unpredictable circumstances.  Naples losing shocked me.

As I had previously mentioned, the 4S region bracket we were in had the Kowboys playing competitive teams right out of the gate and every game has been entertaining.  Haven't missed any of them and don't plan to for any remaining.   We Are OSCEOLA!!

Congratulations on a great season.  The Tiger family left it all on the field.  Hopefully we'll meet again next year.  Thank you for honoring what you agreed to do.  Now change your screen name back.  It looks like someone hacked your damn account, lol.

Well I'm gonna take the ballsy move anyway
 
I've seen all the talk Lake Wales and Polk County been doing on Twitter and writing this in as a easy win for Lake Wales so I'm gonna prove just how confident I am in Columbia
 
Forget the original bet, I will put my Columbiafan moniker on this site on the line on Columbia beating Lake Wales because if I can't beat an overrated and overconfident Highlander team than I don't deserve to post with that name anymore on this site and I will gladly take the moniker with the most posts and likes in Florida HS Football.com history and walk into retirement
 
Lake Wales thinks they can end Columbia but we aren't some JV team, Columbia has 715 program wins on its back and if they think they will disrespect us and talk about how they gonna walk over Columbia they will learn the hard way what Lincoln, Escambia and Choctawhatchee have already learned this postseason

Columbia will be too much for Lake Wales.

Columbia fan's homerism got the best of him again. Great season by Columbia nonetheless.  

Columbia received a baptism tonight lol.

This game and season is done and I'm out

Go home with a loss Kowboys!

The best era was when it only went up to 5A right when they added another playoff round and started letting runners-up in the playoffs.

As long as we don't have to play Madison County! 

I’m excited about this game as I’m sure @ColumbiaHighFan2017class is also. It’s a double edge sword for me. I root for Polk county schools against the world all day, even if it is Lake Wales. However, I truly want to see the Tigers get another elusive state title, but not this year.

He only comes out of hiding to complain. Look for him to emerge some time in 2023. 

Should be fun this coming week.

Where's that @Floridaatlantic1guy who said Naples would cruise to a state title?
 
Columbia still alive 
 
Pine Forest gone
Rockledge gone
Naples gone

Well, at least 1 Pinellas team is guaranteed to make state semi-finals.  That's nothing to sneeze at.  Not yet any way, lol.

School Enrollment Numbers

Good question and I can't answer that.  Whatever Coach Johnson is doing, he is maintaining that philosophy.

@ColumbiaHighFan2017classWe obviously see things differently regarding Columbia/Lake Wales schedule, strength and everything in between.  Let's make this fun!  Here is my proposal:
If Lake Wales/Columbia meet and Lake Wales loses, I'll add ColumbiaHighFan2017class was right and the Great Columbia Tigers defeated an Overrated Lake Wales Highlanders Team to my signature.
If Lake Wales/Columbia meet and Columbia loses, you add Nulli was right and the Great Columbia Tigers lost to an overrated Lake Wales Highlanders Team in your signature.
If Lake Wales loses this week and Columbia wins, I'll add ColumbiaHighFan2017class was right and Lake Wales was so overrated that the Highlanders couldn't stay alive long enough to face the Mighty Columbia Tigers to my signature.
If Columbia loses this week and Lake Wales wins, you add Nulli was right and the Mighty Tigers were scared to face Lake Wales and chose to bow out a week early to your signature.
If both Columbia/Lake Wales lose this week, it's draw.
 
Also, feel free to change any winning message to your heart's desire.  Are you in?
