    OldSchoolLion reacted to SPCjessica2004 in 3A, Week 3   
    Oldschool,

    I wasn't pointing you out btw:-) I actually received some messages from some friends in Broward who were a bit down on Chaminade's performance. As I recall last year Shaun Shivers called his team out on twitter after the American Heritage game for being selfish and then had a closed door, players only meeting. Shivers is very much missed because of his leadership- I also agree that as good as John Dunmore is (and make no mistake, he's special) he also is still a new kid on the block even though he was previously at Chaminade under a different coaching staff.

    There are some battles ahead for sure- American Heritage Plantation, Booker T, Uschool.  I tend to give Chaminade (as I would anybody who has been consistency successful over the past few years) the benefit of the doubt. I think the schedule eases up a bit over the next 2 weeks, let's see how the Lions adjust.  The AHP game is going to be huge for them.

    Don't get me wrong--I love going to games--but there are so many live streams that fans may be better served by staying at home.
    I could sit on my couch and enjoy an ice cold adult soda and watch Carol City/Columbus, AHP/Miramar, Wekiva/Winter Park, Manatee/Braden River, Lakeland/Apopka, and the local showcase on the CW Network. 
    Starting to become a little bit like NFL Sunday Ticket.

    These were some down years for PK...I think they went 3 or 4 years without winning more than 6 games...I think GC score 70+ one Muck Bowl during this time

    Phwww, the season is flying by quickly!  Let's look at my top 5 teams:

    1) Chaminade-Madonna: Defeated Muscle Shoals 28-21.   While many fans are a bit down on Chaminade for not winning by 50+,  I actually give credit to Chaminade for winning this one despite a 10am kickoff on a Saturday in another state. The Lions are just fine. This week the Lions have Ely coming to town. A scrappy but over matched team. Historically, Daemon Jones coached teams start slow and pick up by week 4.  That game against American Heritage Plantation is must see- TV!

    2) Clearwater Central Catholic: Up 35-6 against Sarasota Booker at the end of 3 quarters, the Marauders emptied the bench in anticipation of their rivalry game this upcoming Friday. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the Marauders run is that superstar RB Jerzhan Newton has only taken 2 snaps at running back all year.

    3) Florida High: The Seminoles started strong routing Blountstown. Huge test for the Seminoles this week as Madison County comes calling.

    4) American Heritage Delray: The Stallions continue to roll knocking off a talented Holy Trinity team 35-14. The schedule picks up this week vs Monsignor Pace.

    5) King's Academy: Lions score a good win over 5A John Carroll Catholic. A trip to Glades Day is up next.

    Other teams I'm keeping an eye on:

    Ocala Trinity Catholic: Don't look now, but the Celtics are 2-0 and have a favorable schedule coming up. The offense has been lights out. Watch out for the Celtics.
    Berkeley Prep: The Bucs were hammered by CCC is week 1, but bounced by knocking off Calvary Christian 14-7. Berkeley plays undefeated Cardinal Mooney this week.
    Benjamin School: 2-0 and getting ready to play LaSalle.
    Orlando TFA: First Academy is off to a hot start, but won't be challenged until they play Calvary in a few weeks.
    Ft. White: Despite week 1 loss, schedule looks good coming up for Indians.

    TOP GAMES FOR WEEK 3:

    GAME OF THE WEEK
    Clearwater Central Catholic @ Tampa Catholic

    The Marauders currently own a 15 game regular season winning streak. Their last loss was @ Tampa Catholic in 2016 when they drove the ball to the TC 1 yard line with 30 seconds remaining. TC made a goal line stand on 4 downs. CCC knocked off TC last year 25-0 in the regular season and 37-35 in rd1 of the playoffs.  CCC is currently ranked #1 in 3A in the Sportswriter Poll. The Marauders have traveled to Tampa Catholic twice as the #1 ranked team and lost both games (2013 and 2016).  Since 1998, CCC is 17-6 against TC but very few of those wins have come at TC. CCC has not won at TC since 2011.

    Jess's pick:  If the game was played in Clearwater- I would pick CCC without question, but it's not. The Crusaders are lead by a pair of 3 star running backs (Jalen Bussey, Caleb Tate), the biggest average offensive line in all of 3A, a speedy defense that has only given up 6 points this year and some big names on the coaching staff.  TC has wanted a piece of CCC for a year- expect a huge crowd, fireworks and a big win for the home team that will turn Tampa Catholic back into a 3A power. Tampa Catholic is where CCC winning streaks and lofty rankings go to die.

    Tampa Catholic 28, CCC 24

    Madison County vs Florida High

    The stakes are high at Florida High (See what I did there?). After an impressive win over Blountstown- the stakes get higher this week as FSU School hosts Madison County.

    Jess's pick:  Florida High is still my pick to get to Orlando and represent 3A north, but Madison County is simply too much.

    Madison County: 35, Florida High 21

    Actually Pahokee and Atlantic met in 2015 in a kickoff classic in Delray Beach. Atlantic squeeked out a  7-0 win. But that was after 3 Pahokee touchdowns were called back for penalties.
    Expect another classic 1A vs 8A show down.

    From what I saw with both FSU and Miami was a lack of fundamentals not lack of athleticism.  Poor tackling, penalties,  not blocking, really bad special teams play, etcetera.  This reflects on coaching.

    OldSchoolLion reacted to nolebull813 in Plant vs Armwood (top rivalry in Hillsborough County)   
    Usually a rivalry is built naturally. The only teams in town. Like when Hillsborough and Plant were the only 2 teams in the city for a while. 2 neighboring Counties when they are the only show in town. (Think Hardee/Desoto) Or when a new school opens up close by. Like when Armwood opened to relieve Brandon High. Did you know that Armwood used to have maroon in their school colors and uniforms to pay homage to Brandon? 
    But Plant vs Armwood is a unique rivalry for the fact the rivalry was established solely on the two teams rising to the top of the County and being the number 1 and 2 teams for the past decade and a half. I think since 2003 until 2017 either Plant or Armwood has been the number 1 team (except 2010). 
    This rivalry is built on competition. The two teams year in and year out battle for bragging rights. Sometimes to advance in the playoffs. But whoever won this game was crowned Hillsborough County Champs (unofficially. Lol.)
    i cant think of any rivalry (maybe STA vs Lakeland in the playoffs and finals) that was created just from competitiveness.

    Yeah I didn't post it to belittle the program. Exactly the opposite. I highlighted the fact that historically they have had a long stretch of futility, so to start 2-0 is a remarkable feat given the past results. 
    I hope if they win 5 games this year and miss the playoffs they reward the kids with a bowl game. I will keep an eye out on it and help any way I can in helping it happen

    That's in 26 years. 2 years out of the 26 they went 4-6 and 5-5 which means they won 13 games in 20 years!!! That's insane 
    also during those 26 years they lost 229 games!
