    Mashburns got a reaction from BrowardHandicapper in Transfer Season 2018   
    I disagree, Oxbridge loss another Lineman in Derrick Wells to Atlantic if they stay the way they are they will not have enough kids up front to keep the Richardson kid clean with only 2 lineman I believe coming back from last year team, they will have to ask probably kids that play backer for them to also help out on the DL and OL. I do agree they have some talent still there but they will need some kids to enroll either this spring or summer to compete at a level we are use to seeing.

    Even though he is a senior C.J Smith has transferred from Oxbridge to Palm Beach Lakes and will be signing his Letter of Intent at Palm Beach Lakes High School (from the post). Again this the third kid since the start of 2018 to leave Oxbridge, I don't know what direction the school is going with the football program but the pull it once had is diminishing in Palm Beach County. By their numbers being low in the spring it will be tough for them to keep the kids they have their in the fold. I hope the school do not turn their backs on the success the program has had in this short period of time.

    Probably Top to bottom 8a maybe over 6a but that top few in 6a can compete nationally and do just find I can't say that for 8a.

    Did not take that into consideration but you are right when it comes to the foundation of sustaining success I know here in Palm Beach Oxbridge would have been in a better position if they would have kept Doug Socha and the same for American Heritage when both programs let him go you can see the programs fading. Heritage trying to get back to those days and Oxbridge just don't have the same attraction it once did a few years ago I mean that program has lost more division 1 talent to other local schools than anyone I can remember recently.

    That is the atmosphere of high school athletics now, even at the collegiate level a kid could be a 0-3 star athlete by which ever recruiting service but some how get an Alabama offer and become 5 star over night? I understand they trust the evaluation of the Alabama staff in judging 5 star talent but over night a kid can jump between 2,3 and sometimes 4 stars? I think the same thing goes for High School speaking of STA, some colleges feel if STA bring you in then you must be legit and also STA I'm sure has loads of connections at the college level that they can speak to before a kid even steps a foot on their campus which gives them the ability to make promises that they more times than not probably come through on because year in and year out they actually sign 10 plus kids every year and their kids do pretty well at the next level. After not winning state last season i think most knew that STA will be very aggressive at bringing kids in....

    Oxbridge will not be able to compete with schools like Dwyer in the Transfer season, Oxbridge admissions is pretty tight grip when it comes to who they let in espicially in the months most kids make their moves (Jan-May) I can't remember kid transferring into Oxbridge between that time because of their admissions process. So don't expect any movement there with that program they will pretty much sit back and do their best to keep their current kids there over the past couple of years they have loss over 10 players to other programs and I mean really good players. Expect them to bring in a few around June or July. Dwyer will be super aggressive like always because of the down year Palm Beach Gardens had they may gain a few from them as well as Palm Beach Lakes because of there down year as well but I don't see them getting a bunch of transfers but I do se them getting more 9th grade kids than usual because of the three issues I mentioned (Oxbridge in take process, Gardens and Lakes down year) majority of the Riviera beach kids will probably go to Dwyer. Don't expect the Elam kid to go any where I think the success and attention he is getting playing at the low level its no need to go to a public school at this point and I definitely don't see him enrolling into Oxbridge. Look for Atlantic to gain with the issues at American Heritage and the firing of coach Davis at Boca High but over the next couple of months should be interesting where kids move to.

    It sucks but this the generation or climate of high school sports today. Really look at the examples they have in front of them, college football this year over 5 or 6 coaches left their programs to join another one which they feel is better I'm guessing. But when kids leave programs to join another they get rewarded so that sends the wrong message that the grass is greener. The Aydin kid that left Atlantic and transferred to Deerfield Beach got offered by Ohio State the very next day so whats that saying to the other kids that are trying to be loyal to their program? C.M last season had 10 plus transfers and won state with that team. Saint Thomas has 10 plus every year and are ranked in the country and playing games far as Las Vegas, so I think it's plenty of variables that contribute to what we see going on now in High School football.

    Park Vista and Atlantic should be a good one, I think Pahokee game wouldn't be close, My choice will be between Oxbridge and MCC or Western and Palm Beach Central

    1. Atlantic will have a tough one versus Plantation this Friday, Atlantic probably the deepest team in the Region for as athletes concern but I don't know how well they prepare the kids to be successful so this can come down to coaching but I'm not to sure about this one but I have to go with the home team here Atlantic by 3
    2. Seminole Ridge and Palm Beach Central this was a very close game early in the season 8-3 with Palm Beach Central winning it in the last second of this game, I look for this one to come down again to a very tough defensive battle I think any team that comes out this game will give Deerfield a very tough game the following week but this game could go any way here but I will take the home field advantage team here Central 13-7
    3. Park Vista is a team that has been scraping all season playing lower competition in the county because of scheduling but this is a very well coached team with veterans players that majority was apart of the 10-0 team last season, look for this team to give Miramar a battle for 4 quarters but in the end I have Miramar winning this one 27-17
    7a
    1. Dwyer if the right Dwyer team shows up this Friday Dwyer should win this one by plus 10 but if this Dwyer team which has been inconsistent all season don't come out the right way this one can go down to the wire and potentially lose round 1 but I have dwyer winning this one 24-14
    2. Forest Hill has accomplished a great goal just getting into the post season the first time in like 30 years or so and to be honest I think round 1 is where it ends for this Cinderella season West Broward  35-14
    4a
    1. Glades Central and University played earlier in the season with University winning that one like 13-7, since then GC has been on fire losing to only Oxbridge and Pahokee but if GC can establish its passing attack I believe GC can put up some points on this university team but I don't know how well they will do stopping the run this game against a very gun run game university presents ...I'm taking University 28-24
    3a
    1. Oxbridge over Kings 49-7.....lol I mean it's nothing to talk about to be honest I don't think Kings should be in the playoffs especially playing these caliber opponents 
    1a
    1. Pahokee will sweep through the playoffs until 3rd round or so when they face Madison County but until then look for Pahokee to run through every other opponent

    I honestly like this new system which many not seeing it that way at this point, everyone is finding a problem with the system but I feel the new point system gives you full control over your destiny sort of speak. The last system we had will only have two coming out a specific district which was crazy if you were in a top heavy district. I look at the Carol City, Northwestern, and Miami Central district with the old system only two had the possibility of getting in but with the new system all three can possibly get in.

    Locally I really don't see any snubs on the week 10 projected playoff picture. The teams that's on the outside looking in has created that by bad or not so good play and scheduling.
    Starting at the Top 8a- Palm Beach Central, Atlantic, Park Vista and Seminole Ridge are all in and they all deserve to be at this point. Boca Raton on the outside looking in but they have a chance this Friday to put themselves in with a win over Atlantic so they control their destiny.
    7a- Both Dwyer and Forest Hill are in at this point which again I think both deserve to be in. Will either make some noise in 7a? No they won't but based off the region they both deserve to be in. But we all know STA will be out out that region.
    6a- Boynton Beach is the only possible and by no means they deserve to be in a playoff picture I don't think they won a game
    5a- Suncoast only has I believe one loss on the season possible 2 but again yes they deserve to be in and at this point they are. Now again they won;t make any noise in the playoffs but deserve to be there and again we all know AHP will be coming out of that region so it don't matter to much of who make it into that region.
    4a- Glades Central is the first potential argument here, at this point GC just outside the playoff entry but if they win out they should be in with wins over Newman and Pahokee which both are either Cat 1 or 2 wins so they control their fate. This a team that came on late and starting to pick it up but they started slow with a 35-0 loss to Oxbridge that would have helped them their with a win but that win would have been tough for most teams, and this where I agree with most that teams should be rewarded more points for playing a tougher schedule than beating 0-10 teams. 
    3a- Both Kings Academy and Oxbridge deserve to be in with American Heritage and Newman on the outside. Based of schedule Newman is a Cat 1 or 2 team but eye contact will show you that a loss to suncoast in a rout like by at lease 20 or 30 points will tell you they do not deserve to be in a tough 3a region which we assume Oxbridge will becoming out of facing CM in state. American Heritage had a great opportunity last week versus Glades Central to clinch a spot or at least close the gap but they loss head to head and this a team that has tons of talent similar to Palm Beach Gardens who most thought will make a run for a state championship.
    To be honest I think Booker T got the wrong end of the stick but name another team that you think was snub that WILL MAKE NOISE IN THE PLAYOFF? Booker T yes they would have but name another
    I think most people who are bashing the system not taking a look at how those teams got to this point...
    Not to many teams out their that's legit snub

    Palm Beach Central and MCC- I think this PBC team will be a sleeper throughout this year I think they will pull out another impressive win this week by at least 14 
    Big win for Oxbridge last night even though flanagan down winning by 60 points is still pretty good
