Central already has about 7 transfers so far, so who knows what's going to happen over the summer. Offensively, they are VERY limited (going off how they played last year), but that was by design of the coaches (putting their best players/athletes on the defensive side of the ball), They remind me of the Atlantic teams...lights out defense and a boring/limited offense...This will probably be their best team EVER. Wish Pahokee and Central could've agreed to a game because that would've been A LOT of talent on the field..maybe even got ESPN or Saban to come watch a game.

Those were the best Olinemen last season and 2 got hurt the Madison game (LT and LG) so they moved the C to LT. And that was part of the offensive issues in the Madison game. All those guys were seniors.

PK will be better defensively this season. Last years game, alot of the defensive starters were making their second varsity start (games 2 and 3 were canvelled to Irma). QB and WR/TE is going to be the question this season.

PK lost 3 olinemen to graduation (all signed to play college ball). They have 2 backups that played alot last season. The top 3 backs return (#5, #9, and #24)but they have to find some pass catchers (which has never been a problem in the past).

Atlantic won once as Carver, but they haven’t won since merging to become Atlantic

Gotta find a QB, same as last season. #17 didn’t buy into the position until the Seminole Ridge game (game 8) and there’s rumors that he doesn’t want to play it this season (he’s being recruited to play dB)...must replace the WRs and TE, but the majority of the starters come back (minus 2 oline starters).

Are you saying they’re ducking tougher competition???

Congrats to Madison County on their championship

I know the score is 14-7 Blountstown. Is there a free stream for the game?

You Madison guys are some true HOMERS...I can admit that #1 was the real deal. Just like I gave #14 credit from Williston, but to say that #2 only caught 1 pass on #18 is crazy. Madison changed their defensive scheme in the second half, because #2 and #4 were killing your secondary. They went to 2 deep safeties and started playing zone defense. #2 was running by your secondary all night long, he fell down wide open on a post route and #18 celebrated like he made a pass break up... Sweep right, sweep left, and dive...Pahokee couldn’t stop it. That’s all Madison had to do (and did) all game. ...Congrats, Madison won, but I like to break down games and not just BLINDLY follow my team...I hope it’s a great final between Blountstown and Madison County...

Was #18 the one getting beat by #2 all night???

Why is Oxbridge in the North bracket, when they're 45 mins from Pahokee and a hour from Chaminade (who won the South bracket)????

Pahokee has under 500 students, so what class should they be in??? Madison plays alot of Tallahassee teams anyways so being in the North shouldn't be an issue for them. Its still disrespectful to only give them a 2 paragraph write up for a state semifinal game.

Yes. But we lost our 2 best lineman on the first possession to lower leg injuries. They couldn't drive, that's why they could pass-pro. Against another team, maybe they could run the ball, but not that night. Also, #5 has missed the entire playoffs with and ankle, but the coaches continued to try to run him when he wasn't healthy. That wasn't Madison, that was on the coaches for not adjusting and playing another person

I know. I was just pointing it out to the rest of the world.

This is all we get from our local paper..2 paragraphs http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/high-school/roundup-pahokee-falls-football-playoffs/DYgkEgQzVp7jw2O4IbimYO/

Looks like it’s the runners up (last years) Madison and Blountstown revenge..Congrats to both teams on advancing

This was a good game, no turnovers and the refs weren’t a major factor in the game...PK couldn’t run the ball, because their two best lineman got injured on the first possession (on consecutive plays). They returned, but limped all game. The coaches insisted on running Washington (#5), but he was still injured and reinjured his ankle on his first carry. Everyone in the stands was calling for the other backs to get some carries..Defensively, PK’s d-coordinator pulled a Charles Kelly (FSU) in the second quarter (when MC went on their 21-7 run). He played 2 down lineman (covering the guards) against a proficient running team and MC proceeded to run wild that quarter.

MC won the game in the second quarter (outscored PK 21-7). MC made more plays tonight. All of their TD runs came off a broken tackle in the backfield. PK had wide open WRs just fall down. MC was the better team tonight

21-10. MC at the end of 3. PK driving.
