  2. Niceville vs North Miami Beach (Final 42-6 N'ville, w/ summary)

    in The Huddle

    Posted

    NMB just didn't have enough players regardless of how athletic they may be.  They were gassed early on a warm night playing both ways.  Niceville QB got to see his first actual game action which was a good thing.  First year as a QB, played safety as a sophomore last year.  Has potential to be good, good size, athletic, but still suffering a bit of a bad ankle.  Good learning experience.  Hope the NMB players had fun at a packed Eagles stadium.

    You guys take the cake for high school football nuttiness.  I now live in NC and as near as I can tell we don't have anything like Florida high school football crazies up here, and I mean football crazies in the best possible way, believe me.  I don't calculate RPI but I do listen to Niceville on-line every Friday even though I'm not there any more.

     

  6. Niceville vs Edgewater vs 7 man crew

    The refereeing crew in the Niceville Edgewater game were just bad.  Not favoring either team just bad.  Refs, like children, should be seen and not heard.  They should not impact the game.  The most blatant were the pass interference flag that got picked up and the penalty on the punt with no flag and no sign.  It was a blatant pass interference.  If they threw the flag something happened so why did it get picked up.  I have no clue what happened on the punt, they just marked off 15 yards against Niceville with no explanation which then lead to an Edgewater score after they had been stopped. I think the biggest impact was the frustration it caused the players.  Good luck to Edgewater, and I mean that.

    Large crowds will be coming from Niceville for the game.  I know visitor side seating is very limited at Edgewater which is one reason most of the band isn’t coming.  Can seating be added for Friday night?  They do that at Niceville for bigger games and there is quite a bit of seating at our stadium.

    I think the edge would have to go to Edgewater just because of the travel issue.   If Edgewater were coming to Niceville then we would have the edge and Niceville is a very hard place to come to and play.  Loud and raucous.  Niceville went to Tally to play Chiles and that is their only long travel trip this year.

    I have no clue what their plans will be but that would be a big expense to stay the night prior.  It still is amazing that there is a region that extends from Escambia county all the way to Orlando.  That is over 500 miles end to end.  FHSAA can't do better than that?

    In Niceville last night it was in the 40s with a very strong north wind.  Did not effect the crowd any and most stayed till the end despite the lopsided score.  The Fleming kids looked cold on the sidelines (I stood at the rail on the visitors side) as they were on the more unprotected from the wind side of the stadium.  It felt much colder than the temp.

    You think money (gate receipts, hotels, etc.) does not play an important role in site determination? If so, you are incredibly naive. 

    It plays a huge part but that doesn’t drive hosting in one location.   I’ve seen the crowds that south/ central Florida teams bring to Orlando for the state championship game.  Embarrassing small crowds considering the closeness.   Why should the burden of travel be placed on certain sections of the state year in an year out?   Gate receipts isn’t the answer.  If I had my choice panhandle would compete with Alabama or Georgia schools.  Birmingham and Montgomery are much easier travel locations.

    Tallahassee has a football stadium bigger than Orlando.  UWF plays its games in downtown Pensacola.  If you don’t want college stadiums there are other large municipal stadiums that have the capacity, and I’ve seen the crowds which would fit in many high school stadiums easily.  There are more hotels in the panhandle.  We have basketball courts at FSU, UWF, NWFSC where they host a Thanksgiving weekend College tournament broadcast nationally.  We have baseball stadiums at all those schools as well as in all the cities.   There isn’t a single sport that could not be hosted in the panhandle at a venue equal to or better than a south Florida site.  It could be done and should be done, at least for no other reason than to get people out of south Florida to show them another part of their state that isn’t like the rest of Florida.  If a sport is hosted in Ft Myers then it should also be hosted in the panhandle the next year.
