Finding good young quality men and women who are willing to put the time and effort in to be an official is huge problem right now in the state of Florida. There is a shortage of officials across all sports in high school. The problem is very acute in football however.

I know that there is a semi-pro team, the Magic City Bulls. The Bulls have Northwestern blue and gold colors and logo. I know that a lot of former Northwestern players play for the team, and the team owners are affiliated with the high school. I wonder if any former Central Rockets would be welcomed onto the team, and of so, would those players be comfortable wearing the Bulls blue and gold? lol
-
I get the feeling that there is a lot of mutual respect between Northwestern and Central players and fans.

credit to the youtuber who has posted a number of great games
Yes I know. Thanks to you for posting the video on this message board however.

OldSchoolLion, thank you very much for posting this game. I will never forget attending this game as a High School Senior with most of our football team. We were sitting on the Southeast side, and I remember very well the cockiness of the Seminole fans turning to nervousness as Daunte Culpepper lead the Knights down the field, especially his scramble on fourth and 17 I believe for a first down. Also, the joy when the Vanguard kicker missed the field goal at the end of the game. It was a great experience.

Some crap team from New Jersey apparently. Glen Ridge High
Glen Ridge, New Jersey is where the sexual assault of the mentally disabled teenager by several football players was covered up by the town powers-that-be. There was a movie starring Ally Sheedy and Eric Stoltz made about that incident.

I stand corrected. Thanks
No problem. I had heard from somewhere that that game was extremely well-officiated despite the 63-0 score.

Bolles has 2 such wins
2008 Bolles 70 Jones 6
2013 Bolles 63 Umatilla 0
OldSchoolLion, are you sure that the Bolles-Umatilla game was in 2013, not 2014?

I believe that I remember reading an interesting story about Alonzo Highsmith in Jimmy Johnson's autobiography. When Alonzo was very young, his parents enrolled him in the Florida Pre-Paid College program. Of course, when Highsmith received an athletic scholarship from U of M, he didn't need that money for collage anymore. His parents were refunded the money, and bought Alonzo a nice car. Now, the geniuses at the NCAA just had to get curious, and just had to investigate. Mr. and Mrs. Highsmith and U of M had to waste time and money defending themselves from this ridiculous "organization" and their fake manufactured outrage.

Was this when Dillard had Issac Bruce, and Frank Sanders? I know that the Panthers won the state title in 1989.
-
Thank you Dan in Daytona, and LakelandGator. I knew that it was a very important offensive player that Bolles lost, and that their game plan was really hampered because of it.

C'mon Jam. According to Dayton's Chamber of Commerce, it never gets cold in Daytona.
OldSchoolLion, you should know better then to listen to anything that the Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce, or anyone from Volusia County, tells you!

I remember attending this game on a bitterly cold Saturday Afternoon in December. This was the last year that the state title games were in Daytona Beach until this year. What an upset. I could be mistaken, but I believe that the Bolles FB was injured very early in this game, and didn't play anymore. I remember going home from this game and watching the VCR tape of the Bill Parcells Patriots coming back to beat the Dan Reeves Giants 23-22, which was being played the same time as this game.

Hope all is well Jam...
Yes, I am fine Dan. How are you?

Does anybody know what happened to Sean Alveshire? I remember that he used to host a highlight show with the top 10 teams from across the state in each classification.

No, the real shame is that you cannot take a ribbing about your school, laugh with all of us and let it pass. Instead, you feel compelled to debate to the death in this obsession to defend your old high school. Just as I am certain you will be compelled to comment on my words here and defend yourself. You always have to get the last word in. The shame is that this comes at the cost of taking the limelight away from Chiefland High and a great athlete of theirs...read the original post, in case you forgot.
Please spare us the "fan of the 90's" stuff. You talk as if you are an old-timer pinin' for the good 'ol days. You have no clue what it was like then other than hearsay and hint, hint, us old-timers have a bad habit of embellishing things from the good 'ol days, so you may not want to believe everything you hear. And if you want to be a real fan of the game, take some advice...you'll learn a lot more asking questions than talking and banging out defensive statements on your keyboard.
Not trying to be mean or hurtful with my words. If you are so passionate about defending a cause(which is wonderful), join the Armed Forces. You'll quickly forget about Lake City and realize how unimportant what high school we cheer for really is.
Great point OldSchoolLion. You, and so many other knowledgeable posters on this message board always make me look forward to checking out what great subject of Florida High School Football is going to be discussed next. Of course dealing with that poster acting like a child is never easy, but I appreciate your patience. I just don't think that you will ever be able to get though to him.

When I was still involved with coaching in 1998, the team that I was working with was getting to play Auburndale in a playoff game. Some members of our staff went to scout the Bloodhounds, as they were playing Winter Haven at Dennison Stadium in the last week of the regular season. I remember being very impressed with the stadium, and thinking that there were more impressive looking kids in the stands at Winter Haven then playing for the Blue Devils that night.

What about Wilber Marshall?

Seems like Palm Bay and Rockledge started dropping off when Cocoa started rising up. Anyone out there have any insights as to "why?" Prior to 2000, one never heard much about football in Cocoa.
Prior to Gerald Odom becoming the Head Coach at Cocoa in 2002, the Tigers had a heavy set man as Head Coach who would run all kinds of trick formations and weird plays instead of concentrating on being fundamentally sound. The High School Principal at that time also wouldn't back up any discipline for the kids so good coaches wouldn't consider coaching there even though the school always has athletes and potential. Rockledge and Cocoa have an rivalry and compete for players I believe. Dan Burke always had a good program at Palm Bay. The book on the Pirates was that the team ran about five plays from two different formations, but they still couldn't be stopped because they were fundamentally sound and had great personnel.

Yes, Jermaine Green played for the Washington State Cougars. He played in the Rose Bowl when WSU lost to Oklahoma.

OldSchoolLion, it is great to see that you are featuring Volusia County players in your Who is this Florida football legend series. I hope that you will continue that. Thank you.

They had a shotgun spread before Beach (don't remember 4 WR's sideline to sideline play after play) with Qb's Andre Roan and Pa'tel Troutman. Both were more dangerous as runners then passers. But I don't believe Yocum's system (outside of a special limited package) was the same. Even when he went to Spruce Creek and was successful, it was still a run first offense (fundamental roots brought from Oklahoma) . Beach's is a pass first go through a progression system. It came from Mumme early 90's Valdosta State. I'm open to a refreshing of my fading memory. Go for it Jam
Dan, Seabreeze used a four receiver-no tight end formation under Rocky Yocum. It might not have been the "spread" offense per se, but it was very close. When Coach Yocum got to Spruce Creek, the Hawks were a more multiple formation, motion, and shifts team that ran the ball more due to the personnel, (they were coming off of back-to back 0-10 seasons) and the fact that Jermaine Green was one of the RBs.
-
Dan, Seabreeze was running the four receiver-no tight end "spread" offense long before Marc Beach became the head coach. Rocky Yocum brought that offense to the Sandcrabs in the 1980's.

My comment was not an attempt to make such a comparison, badbird. You implied Florida is caving to political pressure about mascots because we have a "bunch of liberals." My point was simply that putting people who are sensitive about racial overtones and other touchy subjects into a box, ie liberal, conservative, etc is not very fair or even accurate. That is EXACTLY what people did back in the day and why some coaches were treated poorly by the press and fans.
Vince Lombardi was tough as nails. He supported gay players playing for him and even threatened to fire anyone on the spot for questioning their manhood. Think some folks back then didn't call him a "liberal" for taking such a position? The irony is that those people who looked beyond color, religion, and sexual orientation in the past were the bleeding heart liberals of their day..or so some claimed them to be. And thank God we had them around, or we may still be living in the Stone Ages with segregated football...which we had as little as 50 years ago.
Vince Lombardi's brother was gay. Also he had a gay RB on the team when he coached the Redskins, oops sorry GatormanUF, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM!, by the name of Ray McDonald. Politically, Vince Lombardi was a JFK Democrat, but one would have to wonder what the man would have thought of Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren. OldSchoolLion, if you think that any person who looks beyond another person's color, religion, and sexual orientation is a "bleeding heart liberal", you are mistaken.
Future of Broward publics bright?

These scrimmages are similar to the officiating clinics that the FHSAA used to request of officials to be able to officiate the playoffs. The scrimmages are a great help.
