Vero Beach at Rockledge is cancelled

Vero is very young this year, they have freshman starting at many key positions, so unless they mature greatly by seasons end, they shouldn’t be a factor come regional time.

Vero is in rebuild mode this season after last years rather disappointing season, while they do have some D1 prospects sprinkled on both sides of the ball, they certainly don’t have them at the quantity needed to compete with teams at Venice’s level. They are probably a playoff team with a 2-3 round exit again. As others have mentioned, unless something happens internally, I just don’t see anyone out there to challenge Venice.

Vero’s offense struggled the entire game, the lone score came on a scoop and score via a fumble. White showed the characteristics of a presumed first year starter. His ability is there no doubt, he’ll just need to settle into the starting role. West Boca was much more effective- leaning on their 4* running back Javian Mallory, can see them having another good year. They would have probably won the game had it gone a little longer.

KOC: 8/16 Palm Beach Gardens

The current administration and Coach Perry have made it clear they don’t intend on playing Vero anymore while they’re in charge. It’s a shame because it’s a natural rivalry (the only two public high schools in the county.) Sebastian is finally back in the fhsaa after a couple years in the ssac. They are trying to rebuild the program after struggling just to get enough kids just to field a team, getting embarrassed by Vero would probably not help those efforts. They won’t win their district (Jensen beach is the probable favorite I would think) but it’s a step in the right direction.

Still wondering who will be the KOC opponent.

Doesn’t surprise me, Vero always schedules tougher opponents at home usually, I’m actually surprised they were able to convince 2 Dade county teams to come here after last years debacle with Northwestern.

I doubt they are, Vero just usually pony up’s the $$$ and hosts them, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 4 Brevard County schools are home/away though…

No worries, I can’t figure out how to post a link including the photo as you do instead of just a link, would probably prevent duplicates, I’m not too tech savvy…
