Kenny Holmes- Vero Beach c/o 1992, now on staff at FIU.

From what I heard, this was setup by the Treasure Coast officials association as a training session for the officials. The two schools involved were asked due to the type of offense vs defense schemes run would provide better training for their officials on their placement etc and the scrimmage was scripted by the TCOA strictly for that purpose. I don’t think Vero nor Jensen had much input into the format, and as such will still be able to play their previously scheduled Spring games.

He is heading into his senior season, first year as a presumed starter

Per the fundraising cards the players are selling, this is Vero’s schedule for next year: 8/16 KOC @ Sebastian River 8/23 American Heritage Delray 8/30 Ft Lauderdale 9/6 Venice 9/13 Lake Minneola 9/20 Merritt Island 9/27 Centennial 10/4 BYE 10/11 @ Treasure Coast 10/18 Chaminade Madonna 10/25 @ Fort Pierce Central 11/1 Viera

Vero@TC 10/11

At least FT Pierce Central and Treasure Coast, both are district games and were played in Vero last season. If Sebastian is the KOC, it will be played in Sebastian as that game was played in Vero last season also.

I would guess the KOC game is going to be Sebastian since the 11/1 game is Viera (which is the final regular season game,) for years they played this game as a KOC-AKA “Dollars for Scholars game,” and they must keep the county rivalry alive. Beside the obvious district games, that leaves only one game open, which I am guessing will be Ft Lauderdale or Wellington again, but that’s purely a guess...

Add Lake Minneola to Vero’s schedule on 9/13 at Vero...

I don’t see Venice losing to Vero this year, Vero is replacing 31 seniors, many of whom were starters. After what happened last season, I doubt Peacock lets his guys look past Vero and they’ll get payback at Vero’s Citrus Bowl. I do think they will lose to IMG and St Francis though.

They’re playing Centennial on 9/27, Cen-10’s full schedule is out on MaxPreps, see below: 8/167:00p @ Astronaut Preview Game 8/237:00p Westwood Preview Game 8/307:00p @ Viera Preview Game 9/67:00p Apopka Preview Game 9/137:00p Lake Placid Preview Game 9/197:00p Sebastian River Preview Game 9/277:00p @ Vero Beach Preview Game 10/47:00p @ Lakeland Preview Game 10/117:00p @ Central Preview Game 10/257:00p Treasure Coast Preview Game 11/17:00p @ Port St. Lucie Preview Game If you have corrections for the CHS football schedule please contact support.

I think both schools are Adidas schools in terms of their contracted jersey supplier

Indian River: St Edwards (Private) Masters Academy (private-8 man)

Billy Livings-Vero Beach, took over in 1980, won state title in 1981.

Their schedule was pretty good this season including games against 7 teams which made the playoffs. But of course those teams weren’t the type of teams you mentioned. Even though it’s a rivalry game, I think Vero should drop the final game against Sebastian River from the schedule for a while until Sebastian can field a competitive team consistently in this series. Playing them and the usual first round cupcake, it seems as though Vero is playing down to their competition, and in the second round (which is when the “real” playoffs start) they get handled.

You are correct, Treasure Coast is very big and physical, and neither Vero nor Centennial have the physicality that they do. But Treasure Coast was beaten by both of them this season, so maybe both can matchup with DP also.

Due to an incident during the game against Champagnat, FP Westwood may have as many as 12 players suspended against AH Plantation this Friday, their nearly impossible task just became pretty much impossible. https://www.tcpalm.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2018/11/05/tcn-110-tcn-1105-westwood-fb-5-westwood-fb/1893432002/

The difference is Vero would have either one at home, I’d rather see DP than Centennial again because it’s tough to beat the same team twice in a year and Centennial should have beat Vero the first time. To be honest, I’m glad it’s potentially Centennial in round two rather than Treasure Coast, they’re a matchup nightmare for Vero.

Hopefully they did, they’re very talented

Centennial’s only meaningful road game away from the treasure coast area this season was at Bishop Moore and the got handled, see my post above, unless they improve, they may be in over their heads. They are the better team I think, but they have not made it to the playoffs in 8 years and a two hour bus ride and the “stage” of the playoffs may be too much.

Wekiva vs Columbus for 8A title (Wekiva winning)

Centennial should beat DP, but their last time taking a 2+ hour bus ride didn’t end well, they were woefully unprepared at Bishop Moore and laid an egg. Playing in the playoffs for the first time in 8 years on the road against the defending state champs may be over their heads. Treasure Coast should be better prepared due to their tough schedule and they have proven they can hang with most teams on the road (they upset Osceola two years ago at Osceola in the first round.)

I don’t think anyone on region 2 can catch Vero, but Wekiva could catch and pass Vero in the North for the semis ( if either made it that far)

They have a 1.34 point lead over Wekiva right now, but you’re right Pahokee’s last two losses hurt them, and it doesn’t help that Wellington has Atlantic this week and Pahokee has the Muck bowl. Centennial, Ft Lauderdale should win, TC has Palm Bay so that is an uncertainty. The win over Venice is what is keeping them ahead at the moment. Hopefully Venice can close it out against Manatee.

All the food is on the home side now via the food trucks, the Math club still runs the concession areas, but there isn’t food there any more, just drinks and candy. All the food trucks are on the home side now, but it’s a short walk over there and the Vero fans tend to be very nice and are accommodating. Definately better than most places I’ve been.

Local TcPalm article breaking down each game of the 1981 Vero Beach season- interesting read. Some familiar faces still there as state ranked teams, some have since dropped off the radar. https://www.tcpalm.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2018/10/25/road-no-1-vero-beachs-game-game-run-class-4-state-title/1697667002/
