My guess would be Gary Parris.

I just hope Vero Beach can get lined up and be competitive this year.

No one has mentioned what Ryan does OFF the field, in the classroom. Jankowski is an exceptional student as well. He will have no problem qualifying for any college who recruits him. Obviously, he has been tutored by his father (Coach J) who is known to be one of the finest High School QB coaches in the country. Like any good QB prospect, Ryan is the first on the practice field, and he is the last one off the practice field....everyday. He is doing everything he a supposed to do (and much more) to lead his team. Ryan has paid his dues...and waited his turn. He will surprise a lot of people this year.

Back in the day....this was always a huge game for VB. Hopefully, this old rivalry will rekindle.

Pahokee will always be competitive. "The Muck" will win their share of games...and that will never change.

Man....I hope we can just line up and be competitive.

I am hoping we can field a competitive team this year. The competition is very good.

We played Alisio Niguel (From California) at the Disney facility in the early 2000"s (can't remember the exact year) but we did beat them. The following year, our JV team played a Colorado team (on a Saturday) there as well. We also competed in a 7 on 7 tournament at Disney too. Nice facility, and a good experience for the kids, but no doubt I would rather play a regular home game.

Big numbers being quoted in here.

YEAH! What he said.

I just hope we can field a competitive team this year. Sure sounds like Venice will be good.

Maybe it was the early 90's. I have been around for awhile. The old Memorial Stadium was quite a place... reminds me of the iconic Citrus Bowl where we play.

I remember when we played a home and home series with Columbia back in the mid to late 80's. Vero's Coach Livings had a good relationship with the Columbia coach back then. I remember Columbia stadium as being sort of iconic...beautiful setting, tail gating, and great football. It was a long trip though....for both teams.

Wondering....did you have any input with Coach J. on the schedule this year?

Orlando Evan's for sure. I remember one year (late 80's) they had the largest offensive line in FOOTBALL....yes ALL of football. Saw the big boys myself when they played Vero Beach back in the day. Ft Lauderdale Dillard: man....those cats could play. Fast...Fast...Fast. Miami Southridge: Not sure if they belong here or not, but those Davis Brothers could really play back in the day. Not hearing much from them as much as we used to. Okeechobee: Could always hold their own against anyone. Big country boys could just beat you up.

Go to any opening day of youth league (or Freshman ) practice and watch the coaches. The HC will say to his group: 'Anyone who wants to be a wide receiver....go over to Coach so and so. Anyone who wants to be a running back....go over to Coach so and so... Anyone who wants to be a QB.....go over to Coach so and so. Anyone who wants to play defense....Go over to Coach so and so... The Offensive Linemen group rarely has anyone left, or it s by far the smallest group. I place the blame on the weight controlled football leagues around the country. The big kids often are too heavy to play youth league football, and many can't start playing until they are a Freshman in HS. By this time, it is often too late or the players are way behind the learning curve already. My experience says that the big boys really don't start coming into their own until their junior or senior years.

seems to be a lot of people with inside knowledge of a program, yet they are rarely seen on the practice field or meeting rooms.

Picking on? I am just looking to get his input on next year's schedule.

This transfer / recruiting stuff is ruining high school football.

FloridaTech.....wondering if you had any luck in meeting with Coach J to discuss next year's schedule?

Damn....thats funny. Tell your friend hello.

We may have an athlete or two put away.

On the contrary. I think Coach J would warmly welcome any outside ideas on how to make his team better. Its worth a try.

Florida Tech....you really need to help Coach J with this week's game plan.
