Andrew Thomas was the Dixie County offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator under longtime Dixie County and now retired head coach Brent Wilkerson from 2001 to 2010 before taking over at Trenton in 2011 and winning state titles in 2013 and 2015 while compiling a impressive record of 60-5 over his 5 years at the school

I plan on coming out to check out the Celtics a few times this year. Specifically the game against North Florida Christian on September 20th since that is Vanguard's bye week

From what I have been hearing Vanguard is pretty loaded up and should have another deep run in them this year. Finally got a true QB this year in rising Sophomore to be Steve Curry. Trevonte Rucker and Leonard Manuel out at WR should make for big numbers for Curry this year and a stable of RBs. Fleming Island transfer Dewayne McBride should have a big year back their and the defense was very young last year so they're still pretty much intact

Trinity Catholic Also got Big time offensive lineman Miller Lewis in for next season via transfer from vanguard. Kid is massive with his share of Big D1 offers as well. Andrew Thomas is building up the foundation over there and should have the Celtics back up at an elite level very soon

North Marion has the athletes to keep it close with TC for awhile. Winning the game is likely not going to happen but I think they can make this a better game than a lot of people think..... Dunnellon on the other hand is tough to say. But think Raines rolls pretty handily against them

I Think North Marion Can Very Well Win That Game As Well. Nature Coast isn't That Great Either. They Got Very Lucky in beating a Down Baker County Team. If The Colts can go in their with the right gameplan and play like they did last week than I like their chances. North Marion has a really solid Football team

Yeah they're hosting a big US Soccer World Cup Concacaf U-20 Qualifying tournament there over the next month. Preparation started last Saturday on the fields over there so they had to move the game to Manatee

This Game has indeed been cancelled. COF decided last week not to make the trip. Game was scheduled to be played at St Stephens Episcopal Saturday Afternoon at 1:00

Chisholm I believe they have moved him to the defensive side of the ball and Curry is still there. He has been getting a lot of reps in blowout games but as a Freshman he's still very inexperienced. By next fall he should really be ready to take over the QB position full time so they can move Rucker back to his primary position at WR. And the backfield is pretty deep as well. They got Senior Kimo Clarke that came over from Lake Weir that was Committed to Arkansas but recently backed off that pledge. Senior Glover Cook who just came back from injury a couple weeks ago and is Committed to Missouri and also have 2 very promising Sophomores in Tevin Williams and Mykel Randall that get a bulk of the carries as well. Mykels Brother Tyrell Randall is a Freshman RB that gets some time and is going to be really good too. All 5 RBs are really quick but those 2 Sophomores are already way beyond their years. Young team as well. The future definitely looks bright for some years ahead

I think this might be the Knights best chance to Finally get back to a state Final. It obviously looks like it is going to come down to them and Armwood out of the North. If the Knights get them at home I like their chances in that game. But I honestly think the QB position might come back to bite Vanguard eventually but I hope not. Travonte Rucker is very inaccurate a lot because of course he isn't a QB to begin with as he's one of the top WR prospects in the country in the 2021 class. But no experience at the position after the QB last year graduated forced them to put Rucker in because of his skill set. North Marion is the best team they have played all year and Rucker struggled big time in that game as I was their and seen it for myself. He might have improved since then but from what I hear he is still very inconsistent. He will need to show a lot of improvement over the long haul for the Knights to have a chance to do something special. Defense on the other hand is deep. Extremely fast and very physical. They really got some ball hawks in that secondary but the D-Line is definitely the strength of the team. They're one of the best if not the best I have seen Vanguard have since the 90s

Carol City Lakeland Northwestern American Heritage Atlantic St Johns Plant Columbia Dixie County Navarre

Carol City Venice Chaminade Lee Cocoa Armwood Clay Dr Phillips STA Cardinal Gibbons

I think an undefeated Regular season as well. But Braden River will be a tough game and Palmetto isn't going to be easy this year either. They have a really good defense coming back that is going to keep them in about every game

Likely going to be in Lakeland Friday Night. Kathleen vs Vanguard. The Knights won this game 38-0 in Ocala last year. So I'm sure Kathleen will be out to try and return the favor. Hopefully my Knights bring their A game this Friday

That should be a good one
