Correct. They wouldn’t make playoffs anyway, the schedule is too weak.

Baseball, soccer, cross country (especially girls), wrestling, and softball would all take major hits to it.

LBV is going to struggle to develop a community. I know exactly where that is (have rented a house there many times) and it’s a transient area.

Why’d so many players opt out? I thought that was odd as much schools/coaches didn’t have that happen

I still think they beat MadCo but you are correct. They’ll lose half their starters to those two programs

What a start to the season. Could lose the KOC and weeks 1-3. I think you’ll go 2-2 and then win out from there. Edgewater and CG as the teams to beat you.

Great guy and great company.

Very solid schedule

They return a good team and hired a good coach. I thought quite a few FPC kids would transfer but with the hire? I doubt it.

I would not have TCA that high nor would I have Niceville either. I believe this is the weakest the north has been in quite some time and do not see any top 20 overall teams as of right. Potentially TCA, Niceville, BT, and Bolles could make it in but I do not think it’s likely. TCA will win state but that’s because 2A is not particularly strong. They lost a lot of talent to graduation and didn’t add any playmaker transfers.

I’d rank Dillard, just off the top of my head, around 20 right now. A team good enough to win a state title but not accomplished enough to be favorites. I think they’ll benefit well in the transfer portal as well

Where has Carol City gone?

Yes if they sweep or go 2-1, then they have a good argument. I’d favor Columbia over Lee and TCA right now

What team do you think ends up being the best? I wish we could see Bolles/TCA vs BT

That Pine Forest team is one of the finest in FL history

7A is going to be super competitive this year. Lake Gibson/Lakeland/Edgewater all in region 2, Armwood & Manatee in region 3, and Dillard & STA in region 4 I think we see LG vs STA in the title game. Edgewater and Dillard will be the party crashers

Yulee/West Nassau have been benefiting from North Jax parents who don’t want their kids in DCPS. There’s a lot of movement in the area that people from outside don’t realize.

Bolles has much better academics than any of the schools you listed and UC is the same distance from Nassau.

Why not? Bolles has always had kids from Nassau. I bet we will also see some transfer up to Camden with Herron there, which was a big key for them winning titles.

I hear Rush Propst is available

Getting kids from Nassau and St John’s would definitely be the way for them to really get good. Bolles doesn’t seem willing to lower academic standards and as a result, they’ll never get a lot of DCPS kids

Completely agree

So people are saying that we should have high school sports where coaches are legally allowed to recruit players from another school? Can they provide transportation/housing if necessary?

They lost the Thomas kid to Creekside, who always manages to get 4-5 kids a year, but I think they’ll add about half of those kids. They should be the favorites to win a title if they get those kids.

Haven’t heard much. Lee has been the talk of the town. Raines is pretty consistent in the teams they have so I’m expecting a good season from them. Best teams in area should be Bolles, TCA, BT, Lee, and Raines/Baker County.
