    I was really sad to my Noles lose on the last play of the game. Why didn't he drop back eight players to defend the goal line? Notre Dame, friends in high places, yea it shows God has a sense of Humor ranking ND in the top ten.

    Because their coaches suck! Not crap like Taggert coaches, but they still suck!

    B-Dale, to have a shot, has to force some turnovers. STA is too talented on both sides for B-Dale to think they will match them score for score or stop for stop. They will need at least 3 turnovers to have a shot and have to play mistake free. Tall task.

    This sounds like the prediction of every team that has played ST Thomas in the playoffs the last 10 years. LOl So little changes, but the occasional upset does happen!

    Eau Gallie benefitted slightly from the transfers and players they already had. But again that Brevard schedule and Covid didn't help. Their game against Rockledge was cancelled as well

    I would say more than slightly, TJ Johnson started at RB transfer from Viera. Stud won game against Viera by himself. Very under-rated. They also got starter DE Julius Barfield , D1 talent, from Viera. Never really bought in to Barfield as he takes way too many plays off. 

    Nine starters left Viera this summer when I believe coaching staff decided to change culture. Lots of malcontents hit the road, sadly their talent went with them. Coaches thought team played much better and together but lost most of their top talent, and it does take talent to play at the top levels. Along with those Eau Gallie guys- Housey twins(starters at CB,WR)went with Bryce Norton to Rockledge. Bad move when your team leader leaves but Norton didn't even start this year at QB for Rockledge, waste of talent. Another huge loss for Viera was WR Davis Mallinger who starred for Cocoa this year.

    Lots of talent mentioned here spread out to the three top teams in the county. At Viera this would of been a very talented and Senior laden team that would of given Edgewater a respectable game. Viera has been getting used to developing local talent, never relied on transfers, but took a big step back this season with all those that transferred out.

    Viera was right there with Cocoa until last season, now Rockledge is clearly a step above them also.  Looks like they are trending in the wrong direction.     

  4. Lots of talk about the transfers in to Lakeland this offseason. Adding to a program that was loaded last year just makes these results seem expected. Lakeland might only be challenged by STA this entire season. The rest of us can just wait patiently around for that game to happen in November.

    How is Merritt island this year?

    They destroyed Gateway on the road 42-12 so impressive start. QB Denaburg must be younger brother of Mason stud looked impressive last week in KOC. I would think they might be most improved team in Brevard. 

  6. You are being too gracious with Viera. Commentator said over 100 yards in penalties in first half and not sure if all were accepted by Cocoa. Most were execution penalties, just not ready to play the game. What, 4-5 penalties on first drive of game. They had 2-3 first downs, moved the ball and ended up punting from where they started. Commentator said Viera scored on the back of the endzone catch that was called incomplete( feed didn't show viewers endzone), that plus terrible time management at end of half-Viera could have been up 17-10.  Thought Viera and Norton would miss USF Atkins and it showed. Norton, scrambling till he could find Atkins last year, was too much of their offense.  Cocoa is Cocoa again and should fight for state, Viera defense improved from last year  but offense has a lot to clean up not sure if season is long enough to do it.    

  7. Cat Scratch, Titusville for the win? They and Bayside have been fighting for the worst team in Brevard for the last three years. Finding a Head Coach 2 weeks before the season starts can't be a good sign of the program turning the corner.

    The FL teams playing Gonzaga this year will have to deal with this guy and an o-line reported to be "one of the strongest in the nation."

    Not sure if that was the freshman that played against Viera at QB two years ago but that position alone cost them the game. Gonzaga lost a lot of senior talent the year before and were not ready to play that game so early in the season. Even talented programs need a few games for key freshmen to  gain needed experience.

    Also missing DE A.J. Thomas who was a RB/DL at Bartow as a Soph.

    I don't mind talented players targeting good programs they want to end up at. But, I don't like all of the transferring around from one public school in a city to another. It's a bad trend. I'm actually glad Brenden Gant stayed at Kathleen this year. He obviously would have helped Lakeland. And, I'm sure he's pals with some of the players and they probably hoped he'd come over. 

    That said, it is entirely widespread now. At present, I don't think it is fair to get mad at any schools benefiting from this trend. Lakeland's last three playoff opponents all had several high profile players who had previously played elsewhere. What needs to happen is the trend of the best players deciding to join forces and thus deplete the other teams needs to become unfashionable. Heap praise on those like Gant who stay put.

    This has been the problem in Brevard County for a decade. Cocoa up until this year had double digit transfers-in every year. For a program that only lists 35 or so players, were talking a third of roster. It changed with Head Coach Wilkerson leaving this year and the result was the worst defense the Cocoa program has had in at least a dozen years. Rockledge players stayed home and the school had its best team in years. We will see what happens this next off-season, hopefully everyone  stays or transfers don't all go to one program.

     Not fully on thread here but, Space Coast HS,  first 3-0 start since 2005.

    2017 were 3-7.

    2016 were 2-8.

    2015 were 5-4. 

    2014 -2013 

    2012 were 1-8.

    2011 were 3-6.

    2010 were 5-6.  

    2009 were 3-8.

     

    Space Coast definitely improved, lots of Astronaut High transfers. Doubt that will hold up to a strong Rockledge team this week. Raiders have the best player in Brevard County, Ladarius Tennison, a hard running RB and flies all over the field on Defense.

    I don't see it. How did they let Fort Dort come back and steal that game from them? 

    Viera about to be 0-3. Osceola is a pretty physical team. I got the Kowboys!

    Can't argue this point. Viera has to have quality QB play to have success, and although QB has talent, he is just a sophomore and too inexperienced. Schedule has been really tough working against him with first 4 games on the road against strong competition. They will play another close game and probably come up short. As season goes on and if QB matures, who knows? Should still win district, and play-offs will all be about match-ups.
