I'm Fort Myers High... went to school there long before you were born. Our county has built so many schools it caused our talent pool to drop. In '92 we had the # 1 ranked player in the nation and our team was ranked # 6 by USA today. Ended up getting beat by STA two years in a row in the semis. Never been to a state final. '98-'02 always a top tier team with 32 straight regular season wins until Naples beat us down there. We can't claim to use the new term " elite " unless we're talking about girls basketball lol.. 3 straight state championships until your Panthers beat us in Lakeland last season. FM has the fourth most wins in football in the state. We are in our 100th season.. kinda cool.

I wouldn't think so. Doubt you'll have much of a crowd cross the Alley lol. Good luck and hope to see you in Lauderdale the next week.

Running clock for Dillard. Lely had some nice teams in the late 80's and made the state championship game in '87. Then the power shifted to Barron Collier in the early 90's. When coach Kramer arrived in '99 at Naples High, it's been all Golden Eagles and Immokalee coming out of Collier County.

Darter you might have posted on the wrong thread? Age? I'm just a few years behind you... see u in Daytona

Very impressive despite playoff loses. Congratulations to Vero.

heading up there. Best game I can find for an hour drive. FM is on a bye week. Any good places to get a room, hopefully on the beach?.

Not much love for SWF but we have produced some great players. Too many schools to compete for a state championship. Heads up. Watch out for this kid. Richard Young is only 14 and is capable of playing with any Florida powers. FYI

Last word I received is that the games are not going to be played in Lee County. Hope it was wrong. Pre-season games are important to the coaching staffs to get the kids in the right position and open up with a good effort when it counts.. Sad

Deion no doubt.

Haines City: Derwin James ( FSU, Chargers )

Fort Myers: Jammi German (UM, Falcons, Browns ) North Fort Myers: Prime Time. No more info needed

The '91 Noles were the first team Fort Myers beat in the state playoffs. Won up there 24-15 and at home the following year 30-7. Despite popular belief, FM had some nasty teams in the '90's.

Magic Benton MNW and the U.

I don't know him that well but have never heard a bad word said about him. It's hard to say who is going to build a winning program in this area. No loyalty at all. Fort Myers will always be decent because of coaching. Not " elite " as most posters use the term. I think we were at the Armwood/Dwyer game in '10 when South Fort Myers lost to Norland in the semi-final at Traz. South was a highly recruited team with Sammy Watkins and Dallas Crawford who could have played elsewhere. I have no shame in bringing up the state championship trophies at Fort Myers. 3 straight girls basketball championships, and probably a good shot this year. Our '10 boys state basketball championship was special. Back to back Floyd E Lay top sports program in 6A. Not ashamed to be a grad of that school, not to mention I was the valedictorian my senior year. Rock solid 1.5 gpa summer school session B. Look forward to seeing you in Daytona.

Too many schools Darter. Simple as that.

Hard to say, Cjm04. So many transfers and way too many schools. Wish our School Board would just enlarge existing schools instead of wasting money and opening new ones. Fort Myers, Oasis, ECS, could be a two playoff win team. Dunbar could join the group along with North and Lehigh despite their brutal schedule. Will get u some better info in a few weeks.

The only signature win ECS has had in my memory is when they beat Glades Day years ago. They would have no chance of beating the larger schools in SWF.. in the past. Maybe this year will be different. Far from the best program in Lee County.

has hit another home run with the transfer of Immokalee High School qb RJ Rosales. In another post, I mentioned that Evangelical has a chance of being a top 10 if not better 2A team this year. Should be interesting to see how this turns out. Rosales is only one of many players who will suit up the Sentinels who came from another SWFL team this year.

Earnest is now the coach at Evangelical Christian in Fort Myers. And the transfers are rolling in. Should be a decent 2A team.

I didn't get an answer. Never do in a spring game. LW scored on a 55 yard td pass. Neither team showed much offense. Always like Polk teams. Wish we would schedule a game or two every year. Have to play the garbage around here tho. Good luck to the Naughts

Hope Lake Wales is that good. Fort Myers tees it up with them in an hour. Only for a half.

" Take the ground" Sprague was a cool guy. Delivered papers before school and had a T-shirt shop in the Mall ( South Gate ) off 41. Good friend of our coach, Sam Sirianni.

Estero '98 won four on the road before losing in the final.

Geesh Laz. toleu I would land safely.

Going to start out with the 4A final on Thursday, 7PM. Good to go for the rest of the games. Just holler.
