Brought a team down to Brian Piccolo that we thought was pretty salty—held 9/12 previous opponents to under 7 points. It was 35-0 before we knew what hit us. 
Taking the initial punch and finding a way to settle in, IMO, is the recipe for success with them at home.
Good luck to both teams—might have to take the trip down South for this one.

A couple notes from my end:
1. Disheartening to see that Vero’s three best players (Jacobs, Smith, Monds) were all at Ft. Pierce Westwood last year. This is not a knock on Lenny or the Vero Beach program—it happens everywhere. Just an overall assessment of the nature of high school football as a whole. Not the same game I grew up with. 
 
2. Sad to see Vero’s YouTube broadcast get kicked to the curb. I get it—if people are willing to pay $15/game, as an athletic department, you do it. That said, the YouTube broadcasts were quite enjoyable. While I’m sure the partnership with the FM radio station will be more professional, they will surely lose some of the fun-loving homer-like tendencies from the YouTube crew. Became a staple of my Friday night’s on the couch—it will be missed. 
 
Fun game last night. Thanks to the Brevard Sports Network for allowing us in.

If there is a criticism, offensively-speaking, I think it lies in needing more Bobby McMillan last night.
56, while active, played upfield all night, allowing himself to be incredibly susceptible to the trap game. Saw Lenny exploit this on a few occasions--just thought there was more to be had in this regard. 
But, decisions like this are why they pay Coach J the big bucks and I am an XDC. 
Couple of general notes about the Vero program:
1. Is there a better public school job in Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, or Broward County? I say no. 
2. Remain impressed with Vero's commitment to their YouTube broadcasts. While certainly an acquired taste, Todd Wood has grown on me over the years. 
A lot to be proud of in Vero Beach. 

So, what happens if my team has to enter quarantine a day before the first round of the playoffs? How about the day before the state championship? Forfeit? Push the entire bracket back two weeks?
Hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it.

Hey, @THIS_IS_DILLARD. You got some ‘splainin do, young man! 

Hey, @THIS_IS_DILLARD. You got some ‘splainin do, young man! 

This is the worst Chaminade team since 2015. And to be honest, that 2015 team might beat the outfit walking into the Citrus Bowl tonight.
That said, I have watched a ton of Vero since they began streaming their games on YouTube--this is also their worst team in recent memory. 
Vero needs to win a game like this. 
Excited to have a cold one and watch this one play out this evening. Good luck to both teams. 

From a streaming perspective, it looks to be a messy week. As always, if you see anything pop up, please reply so that I can add it to the list.

Losing track of what is really important here: there is absolutely NO WAY that Dillard trots out a DL that averages 6'6 400+. Pure and utter blasphemy. I legitimately belly-laughed when I read that. Absolutely no shot.   

And STA's kryptonite: Miramar. 4-3 against Miramar in the last seven years. I'm sure Harriott and company aren't too pleased with that.

@gatorman-uf, I watched the same game. IMO, there was not a single Division 1 football player on the field that night. I've seen a bunch of King's over the past few years. I really respect their HC--they are very well-coached on offense, and I think he does a really good job with what he has. But there is a reason those players don't have high-level offers: they are good high school players that play against below average South Florida competition. 
So addressing your initial question, no, I do not believe production on the football field means colleges should come and recruit. I think colleges understand the type of kid that is there. They understand the type of football that is being played in their conference. End of the day, a kid has to fit a profile, and the majority of kids at King's just don't fit it.
That said, I feel for these kids, and for that matter, all of the kids who get the short end of the stick in the recruiting game. All the holier than thou stuff you see from college coaches on Twitter is the furthest thing from the truth. Generally speaking, coaches need and recruit "dudes," and they could care less about what comes with it.

Anything I am missing, please post on the thread.
Good luck to all tonight!

There will be a four-screen setup at the XDC compound this evening. 
St. John's-Good Council, Heritage-Gibbons, Vero Beach-Treasure Coast, and the local game on CW, Seminole Ridge-Palm Beach Central. 
A little take-out, a few adult sodas, and some High School Football, NFL RedZone-style. Life will be good in a couple hours!
