    The top 10 posters will be seeded, and then the top 8 posters after the 1st round will move on to the 2nd round, and we will keep cutting off the bottom 2 until there are 2 posters left for the state championship games. In the case of a tie, the higher seed advances. These are the seeds. Please let me know if you intend on playing.

  9. Most Current FHSAA Rankings

    You are judging every public school based on Tampa 

    Plenty of publics in Orlando, Jacksonville, Polk, Brevard, Broward, Palm Beach, Dade and a few other counties get a lot of transfers every year but you refuse to accept it because it doesn't fit your argument

    Just because most these public schools got average coaching and manage to waste talent doesn't mean they aren't actively recruiting but it's because people like you will never actually do the research and you just blame the privates 

    You only claim it's an exception because most the media aren't as honest as SFL so Central looks like an exception but it's far more common and you come on here with some ridiculous justification that teams are only recruiting to keep up with private schools and even when I list specific teams that combat this bogus theory you just ignore it and repeat the same thing in the next topic

    You probably would make a great politician because you can fit the states agenda of playing oblivious and blaming someone else to get what you want for your party because when chaos exists you can swoop in and pretend to have the solution which keeps you in power but it's just the classic big promises to get elected only to under deliver

    STA clearly has built-in advantages as a private school, but they are also pulling talent from arguably the most fertile recruiting ground in the country in South Florida. That isn't something that can be taken lightly. The Metro/Suburban split was so close to solving this imbalance. Without a transfer rule, put all of the "cheaters" in one or 2 classifications and let them duke it out amongst themselves. Then build a system around the rest that would foster competitive matchups in the postseason. The FHSAA still needs to:

    Take Chaminade out of 1M, where they will slaughter perpetually. 

    Maybe have Cocoa and Naples swap classifications. Cocoa will slaughter 2S while Naples will have a lot of trouble, even in a strong year, winning 3S against Mainland, Lake City Columbia, Lake Wales, and Rockledge. 

    4m and 4S are pretty balanced classifications.

    3M is hard to say. Homestead, Dillard, and perhaps even Blanche Ely could compete with STA in strong years, but the north side of the bracket is really good. It's just tough that one of those teams have to go through STA to win a championship. 

    Madison County has no business being in 1R. 

    So, there's still some work to do. But metro/suburban was a step in the right direction.

    At this point you’re just trolling because glades central has never even in their kelvin benjamin days put 50+ on us. 
     

    dillard & glade central has always had good competitive matchups. They beat us by double digit sometimes & vice versa. With Dillard having the latest double digit victory in 2020 that ruined glades central undefeated season. But all of that is neither here or there I’m just focused on ely this Friday that’s it. 

    Dillard needs rest after that brutal stretch. Did they have off practice today?

    Sadly, TC brought its basic singe wing and a hybrid spread and VB had no answer. After facing the basic single wing for several years, VB has not figured out how to stop it as they got hit with counters time after time. Now VB faces the possibility of DeLand in the first round. If you can't stop TC, then you will have a tall order stopping RD. That and VB having no offense at all in the second half did you in. 

    Wanted to see Vero win and thought they would have enough offense to do it after watching them play Martin County. Having 2 losses to two tough opponents, (might?) help them in the playoffs, but I think Deland would have to be favored over them on merit if that is their round 1 opponent.

    Burn & bury the tape never have I ever been so embarrassed and disgusted. 3 pick 6s & a safety in the first 4 min of the game.

     

    no energy no effort str8 quit. From the coaches to the players! I get it it was our 3rd game in 8 days but dammit atleast fight & give it your all. I knew we was the underdogs and I never predicted a win but DAM! Really??
     

     

    fans didn’t show up to late, band didn’t come until after the 3rd qt when the game was already a running clock , just the overall energy of this game was off from the opening tip to the point I wanted to cry bra cuz I was so upset. With that said congrats to the raiders and goodnight. 

    Don’t pack your bags just yet. You have to take one game at a time. Yes, it was terrible, but it’s in the past now. Here’s the deal:

    You’re probably going to see STA again. Have the past 10 days been miserable, yes. 3 games in 8 days is not sustainable. Your coach needs to give the team the weekend plus Monday off of practice to try to recover from this brutal stretch. Dillard will eventually see better days. 

  17. EXCLUSIVE: FHSAA Classification Task Force Committee proposes changes to classification system to help address competitive balance

    open enrollment and transfers for academic reasons is not the problem here.  Its recruiting and transfers for athletic reasons. Since our state association has zero power to rule them ineligible and even if they did, the state and courts would overturn it, we need to promote and demote. Period

    The goal of the Metro/Suburban split was to break up schools like Madison County, STA, Miami Central, CMD, etc. Who were monopolizing state championships by playing schools that just couldn't compete with them without getting 10+ high level athletic transfers per year. 2M is almost a perfect representation of this. If the state doesn't want to do something about nonstop athletic transfers, then this is the next best thing, though it certainly isn't perfect.

    The problem is that there still isn't enough parity because of how the classes are set up. Cocoa will steamroll 2S without any trouble at all. Daytona Mainland probably steamrolls 3S this year. Chaminade will break scoring records in 1M. Madison County will crush 1R with that stupid enrollment loophole. 1S isn't so good either.

    So, the FHSAA has some things to sort out. It's at least good that they acknowledge that there is a problem; that's the first step in coming up with a solution. We will see how the open classification works if that's what the FHSAA decides to do next year.

    I pray that even in possible defeat that we’re able to keep the game competitive. With everything we’ve lost ; on paper this should be a running clock for the raiders but the amount of growth I’ve seen in this over the course of this season has me so dam proud to be a panther & if we can go toe to toe with another national ranked opp on the road it just goes to the growth girth and overall will power of this team. 
     

    & going into the playoffs Dillard would be a force for anyone they play. Which is crazy because after losing a head coach & over 30 transfers making the playoffs was far from a guarantee.

    But who's to say that Dillard won't start getting transfers again next year? Dillard is having a winning season in spite of all the tumult. Kids in neighboring schools will surely look at these results and say, "hey, I want to be a part of that!" Especially if Dillard wins a couple of playoff games and keeps the STA game respectable? Gosh.  And just like that, Dillard will be a destination school once again.

    Dillard could not possibly have a worse scenario in front of them. They just played 2 games in 4 days and it's about to be 3 in 8. We talked about it on Scorestream. With the district championship on the line, playing STA @ Brian Piccolo on a short week of rest is just a recipe for disaster. And beyond that, it's clear from what happened in the Cocoa game that you won't get a fair shake with STA's officiating crew anyhow. STA by 17 or more. Just focus on trying to get healthy for the playoffs and seeing these guys again in a potential rematch with (hopefully) more rest.

    They are independent and lost their game with Labelle due to weather. They are having a makeup bowl game after the season. Labelle is 6-2 right now. 

    They will eventually rejoin. Need a few more years to continue building but it's clear that the players are finally buying in to what North Port football is selling. This is by far the best team they have ever fielded in their collective school history. Coach Belser should be immensely proud of what he has done.

    Note - this was a really hard week to top games. So some of these are random matchups but I figured they would be hard choices for a pick ‘em. 
     

     

    Sanford Seminole vs Lake Mary

    Tampa Bay Tech vs Armwood 

    Eau Gallie vs Rockledge 

    Zephyrhills vs Cypress Creek

    Colonial vs Orlando University 

    Hagerty vs Spruce Creek

    Tarpon Springs vs North Port

    Godby vs Gadsden County 

    Zephyrhills Christian vs Northside Christian

    Naples Community vs First Baptist 

    Keep an eye on North Port. They just achieved their first winning season in school history and now have a chance to win 6 games in a season for the first time ever. First-year head coach Garon Belser has them moving full steam ahead in the right direction. A few years from now they could be in conversations to win a district championship, and maybe even a playoff game!
