WhoopWhoop!!

Let me preface this by saying, I’m not attacking you (sometimes you’re a little over the top defensive). Jesse, most folks recognize Madison is an extremely talented program. They just are pointing out they don’t believe Madison should be with 1A.

I though Florida High was a private school. If I’m wrong, no worries, but I didn’t think they fell into Leon County Schools.

Played with his little brother, Eric.

Howie D and Wade!

I’m from there (grew up there played there), but I’m in the panhandle now.

As a DeLand grad, excited about the possible resurgence and praying the gold helmets come back.

OP, I understand where you’re coming from, however, football is a game of discipline. If it’s not a rule, then all of sudden OL coaches are coaching move or flinch when the DL comes into the neutral zone, or have your center snap it out of cadence to catch them in the neutral zone. If somehow an offsides call is called, then we are counting on referees to make a judgement call. And I think we can all agree that the less times FHSAA officials are asked to make a judgement call, the better.

You mind providing examples?

Damn, that's sad. He was a good guy, very genuine.

Seeing how this season is rolling, no offense, but I would say St Augustine is better than both Mainland and Columbia. I’ve always respected both but it seems like Columbia and Mainland ain’t the normal Columbia and Mainland. Not saying they aren’t good, I’m just saying it doesn’t look like they are the teams they’ve had in the past. St Augustine win over Escambia this weekend was impressive.

Yeah, that drive for Gulf Breeze is a haul to Daytona, and currently, Santa Rosa County has a policy of no overnight trips due to COVID. Curious if county allows them to leave on Thursday or have to drive that 7 plus hour trip on Friday. In recent years, I would agree on Navarre over Niceville, but this year I don’t think Navarre has the cats to stay with Niceville. I’ll go ahead and say Niceville wins that by 2 to 3 scores.

Snoop Minnis

As a DeLand kid growing up, I respect him as a coach. I was 1-1 vs him, and remember him at weightlifting meets as well. I also know some of my former coaches worked with him and spoke highly of him. Yeah, he made a mistake, but let’s try and be bigger than his mistakes and also realize some of us live in glass houses.

Good point

No, I completely hear you and understand that different situations are occurring. We started back with workouts in pods of kids. Within a month we’ve had 3 coaches and over 10 kids test positive, and we are shut down again. But unfortunately I know how folks in my area are, and if the green light says go, we will be back at it. I get kids and some schools will get together, but I find it hard when medical professionals give a recommendation and it’s ignored. I probably ranted a little more than I tend to due to that meeting forcing me to get into my liquor storage.
