    According to my cousin, whose daughter attends the Pahokee IB program, many parents are trying to get their kids to Pahokee because of the academics. As 561 said, Pahokee has had one of the best graduation rates in the county in the last 5 years and is a nationally ranked high school. However, this is something I didn't know! 561 Did you know that Pahokee was the overall state runner-up in robotics last year? When she told me this, I was like, wow, and neither the district nor the community pushed that out. I just moved to overpriced Tampa 5 months ago, and if that had happened here, it would have been a big deal for parents and this area of Tampa!

    The community knows about the accomplishments of the Pahokee Robotics program, it’s just the local media won’t cover it, even was the only school with a 100% graduation rate with no fanfare. We had 4 girls in middle school a few years ago that won the 4x400 junior national track meet

    When is Pahokee, Glades Central and Clewiston all gonna merge into “Muck City High School”??? :P

    That’ll NEVER happen because  Clewiston is in another county (Hendry). Something DRASTIC has to happen for Pahokee High and Glades Central to combine, because there’s to much tradition and history in both of those schools. The closest it came was Glades Central had to play their home games at Pahokee High be their schools/stadium was being built.

  3. Never heard of Palm Beach Christian Prep, they probably are a new football program, so that game might have a running clock.

    Santaluces is usually a 6-8 win team. They have some talented WRs, but the QB that led the county in yards and touchdowns graduated. D1 type guys usually transfer out, but they’re a solid team.

    Is Carlos Lammons a coach that the Pahokee alumni and community likes 

    Yes. He’s head of the City’s youth football program and 3 of their teams won their championship. His brother was a player that went to on to play at Pitt, and his father is a legend as a DC in Pahokee history. He’s OLD SCHOOL, so his approach doesn’t mesh with the new climate of coaching.

    Can you elaborate if possible on what happened to Glades Central and Pahokee. They used to beat everyone in Palm Beach and the Muck Bowl was always the game of the year

    Pahokee’s hospital and the state prison in Belle Glade both closed, so a lot of families moved to east to West Palm Beach (Wellington, Royal Palm, and Loxahatchee) for employment. So a lot of kids from the area are now playing for other schools. Nedric Boldin (Palm Beach Central, Boston College commit) is from Pahokee, Ricky Knight (Cardinal Newman, signed with FSU this spring) his family is from Pahokee, and Akeem Dent (Palm Beach Central, FSU, San Diego Chargers) is from Pahokee. That’s just a few from Pahokee, I know Glades Central has the same issue. 
     

    Another misconception, is that the schools on the coast provide better education, then the schools on the Muck (majority minority), but Pahokee High has had the highest graduation rates in PBC the last 5 years, with a 100% graduation rate this year. The choice program has allowed parents to send their kids to Seminole Ridge, Wellington, Royal Palm, and Palm Beach Central. 3 seasons ago Palm Beach Central had 6 starters on a 11 win team from Pahokee/Belle Glade

    Pahokee has hired their 3rd head coach in the last two years. Carlos Lammons, former player (graduated from PK, then played with Khalil Mack at Buffalo) will take over the program. I don’t know why the previous coach stepped down, but he still works at the school and I think he’s still the OL coach.

    The reference to Brissett reminds us that you don't have to have a cannon arm to make it at the highest level.  Brissett has earned over $50 million in the NFL by being a steady, reliable game manager when called on.  Also brings back memories of his stellar 2009 and 2010 teams at Dwyer (along with Matt Elam, Nick O'Leary, etc.).  Seems like there was about a 15-year period where Dwyer was right up there with the elite.  I guess Dwyer has kind of collapsed since Coach Daniels left, and probably not much chance of getting back, but would defer to the locals if I am off base in my assessment.

    Their top players usually transfer out, with Palm Beach Central or Cardinal Newman getting most of the top kids in West Palm. They had a good QB 2 years ago, but he transferred to Santaluces for his senior year and led the county in passing yards and TDS

    And lastly with the district classifications changing. Dillard new district foes atleast for the next two years are as following 

     

    *Northeast

    *Suncoast 

    *Boynton Beach 

    *Dr.Joaquin Garcia 

     

    never heard of that last school, I’m assuming they’re a new program. 
     

    but a district with no STA, GIBBONS, AHP, CHAMINADE, ELY, MIRAMAR, & ETC lets see if Dillard is still a above avg program & can run away with this district and be one of the top teams in broward. 
     

    or if they fell off even more from last year & this district will be a lot closer then most predict. Guess we will see. 

    Garcia opened last year in Lake Worth, they went 1-9. Should be an easy win for Dillard

    56-0.... The stream score is lagging! Pahokee gets revenge for 2015. Yes, next week will be a great game, but with the defensive coaching changes and finally being healthy, Pahokee looks like a different team.  The only team that comes close to Pahokee's team speed on Williston's schedule is Newberry, but Pahokee is faster. 

    Defense looks 100% better, I think the change was needed, especially with these run heavy/option teams we’ll see in the playoffs

    We wanted to go last night, but couldn't get away in time to get there in time to get a seat, so we settled for Boca Raton at Westwood. How is the seating situation at Glades Central and Pahokee, and do they have a fence where you can stand and watch? In addition, what's a good place to eat supper in both towns? We've eaten at Dixie Fried Chicken in Belle Glade before, but it's been a couple of years. 

    Seating is fine unless both teams are undefeated, then it’s standing room. There are usually food vendors at the game. There was Chick-fil-A, frozen icee, barbecue, and others so you could be full before leaving the game
