    WOW! 561 I didn't know the school was trully being a school although I had family attend the IB program!! Top notch graduation rate!! I see why BG parents want there kids to go to Pahokee! Good Academics and Good Football is one hell of a self promoting selling point which is not usually the case in PBC. You might have good academics but bad football or vice versa but graduating up there with the likes of Suncoast and Jupiter and have a good football team DAMN PK! GO BLUUUUUUUUE DEVVVVVVVVVILS!!!!!!

    The current principal/administration has done a great job of improving the academic standing at the schools. They have one of the top robotics programs, they’re pushing more dual-enrollment (several kids have graduated high school as college juniors). The organization of the Pahokee program is better then Glades Central at this time

    Historical bad leadership in the city governments for not changing with society however while I was at the game, (I had to sit on GC side because PK Side was Packed, never get to a MUCK BOWL late!) I heard BG parents saying that they want their kids to go to Pahokee because of the education and atmosphere is better! I do understand because education is everything however after the game state road 715 was in chaos with kids fighting everywhere! 

    The last governor (can’t think of his name) closed the state prison in Belle Glade and that eliminated a lot of job. The Sugar industry and Railroad employs a lot of people in the Glades. It’s the people with degrees from the area that don’t have many employment opportunities in the area. 
     

    There are a lot of kids from Belle Glade that attends the IB Schools in Pahokee (Elementary, Middle/High) and Pahokee high has the highest graduation rate in Palm Beach County. The organization of the Belle Glade football program has hurt them, parents now send their kids to play for the Pahokee Pop Warner football teams (they are 1 win away from their Super Bowl). The Demps kid I posted earlier attended Pahokee before his JR and SR years.

    What changed tho ? The muck is still small & rural like it’s always been , so what happen to Gc after kalvin Johnson ? 

    Don’t know what happened. There team got worse after they played you guys during the pandemic season (2 years ago). It’s like all of their talent just left and the staff isn’t sure what they have. They have the top, senior WR in Palm Beach County in Semaj Demps (committed to Perdue or Miss St) and they can’t get him the ball (kid gets 3/4 touches a game). Didn’t have a touch outside of kick/punt return tonight. They have a good running back and he’s the reason they moved the ball tonight,

    They have a talent issue and the talent they do have, they aren’t utilizing and being put in positions to succeed

    I feel bad for Glades Central. They are a shadow of the program they used to be. 

    Me too, because the game wasn’t close at all. Pahokee has been in that position before. Hopefully they can find the right staff to rebuild the program and they have to start playing their best players both ways, because the drop of from their best players to the others is to big to overcome

    Man 7th graders vs 10th graders seems rough?  My kid is in 7th grade and plays OL in Pop Warner ball.  He's 180 lbs but holy shiznit he would get destroyed by some 200+ much stronger 10th grader.  I couldn't even imagine.  Of course I'm thinking about the OL/DL.  A really athletic skill position 7th grader would do just fine at high school JV level I would imagine.

    That’s been Pahokee’s JV team (7/8/9th graders) since forever and before they got a pop Warner league most people didn’t put on football pads until 7th grade

    Given how small that school is, how do they even have enough kids to field an 11-man team, especially given the transfers out?

    Varsity rosters are usually 30-40 kids and we’ve had some bigger or equal rosters to Delray-Atlantic, Dwyer, Palm Beach Gardens, Charlotte, and Palm Beach Lakes. Pahokee doesn’t have issues filling the varsity rosters for all sports, it’s the JV/Freshman rosters that we have issues filling. 
     

    Our JV, football roster is filled with majority of 7th/8th/9th graders and they are 6-0 right now. Freshman basketball is usually middle schoolers (6/7/8), JV basketball is 7th/8th/9th graders, and Varsity basketball is high school kids. Our girls JV teams are usually all middle-schoolers in all sports.

    I've always wondered how Pahokee is so good coming from such a small rural community?

    For a school that has about 400 kids, it’s amazing. And we’ve lost a lot of kids to other schools. Palm Beach Central has 3 starters that are from PK, one WR who’s committed to Central Michigan. Inlet Grove has 4 starters that are from PK with a WR committed to Illinois, and IMG has a OL (K. Harris) from PK who’s committed to UF. If we were able to keep all our kids (poor local economy) we would be scary

    Should’ve been a bigger margin of victory, but Pahokee has played down to their opponents the last few games. Hats off to the Charlotte team, they fought hard the entire game. 
     

    Offensively, PKs passing game led the scoring, with all 4 tds. The running game was somewhat held in check, but Charlotte just played Richard Young and Lehigh (14-19 loss) so they were up to the test against the run. Was a dominating defensive performance, Charlotte’s only TD came off a kickoff return.

    Clewiston backed out of their game with Pahokee (homecoming) on Oct. 21 because they need to makeup district games (hurricane Ian cancellations). Now Pahokee has 3 consecutive byes 10/14, 10/22, and 10/28 before the season finale against Glades Central (Muck Bowl). 
     

    This could be a blessing or curse, hopefully Pahokee can find a replacement game.
