Y'all are sleeping on Madison County. Everyone else trash I like MadCo big. Miami Central scared to play dem Cowboys. Next year they can beat Mater Dei I'm tellen you. MadCo best team in America

Treasure Coast is still as good as advertised. Their brutal schedule has caught up to them and their bye week could not have come at a better time. They will be just fine.

Wrong abbreviation. lol

Norland beats BTW by around 14. Cocoa wins a shootout against Sanford Seminole. Florida High finds a way to beat CD. Miami Palmetto flattens lowly Edison. Bishop Verot keeps the good times rolling with a victory over Jesuit. Venice pumps the brakes on Manatee's 6-0 start in a thrilling game. Sumter dumps overrated Zephyrhills. AHP cruises over Western. PBC gets a very hard-fought victory over Benjamin to stay undefeated. Calvary Christian: fans will be chewing their fingernails all night, but they beat Titusville in a very tight defensive slugfest to end their 6-0 start!

At most Venice games, especially where a big rival comes to town (Riverview, Manatee, Miami Northwestern, Cocoa, etc,) there is always at least one guard with an automatic rifle standing on the opposing sideline. This has been a good deterrent for gun violence at our home games. Every stadium should have this.

I'm sorry bro. I saw on Scorestream you said someone brought guns in. That's awful. Hope there was no shooting and that everyone stayed safe. It's a sick world.

Treasure Coast got beaten up by Cocoa only because they have played a brutal schedule and couldn't sustain it. They desperately needed a bye week and now they finally have it to try to win their district. Vero Beach needed a game like 2 weeks ago against Sanford Seminole, where you get beat by a better team and learn from your mistakes. Obviously, losing by 25 points at home hurts but there's a lot more to learn from a loss than going undefeated every year. Vero is better from just playing that game and it will help them come playoff time if they hope to make it out of their region. Benjamin is a pretty good football team. They beat CAI earlier this year. Jensen Beach losing that game isn't the end of the world.

Riverview did a great job of limiting possessions and running the ball, keeping Venice's offense off of the field. They had 2 weeks to prepare for that game, so knew going in to expect a war. They will see Venice again in the playoffs!

My question is, if Manatee makes it to round 4 and their opponent happens to be Buccholz, where would they play? For the sake of argument, let's assume that they both go into that game undefeated. Does strength of schedule only then become a factor? Does the record of their opponents, or even the records of the opponents of their opponents, come into play? What if Manatee beats Venice and goes undefeated, and Buccholz finishes with 1 loss on the regular season, but because Venice lost 3 regular season games and Buccholz' 1 loss was to a "superior opponent," they get home field anyway? My head hurts thinking about all of this, LOL. But this lack of transparency is nauseating and really harms the credibility of the FHSAA, however much of that remains.

Winning percentage seems to be more important than strength of schedule, right? So, let's say for example in 4S: by every subjective measure, Manatee has played a considerably worse schedule than Venice. Let's say Manatee has a great night 9 days from now and beats Venice on their own field (a real possibility.) This could potentially leave Manatee, (and possibly Buccholz,) as the only 2 teams in 4S who are undefeated. If this is the case, that potentially leaves: Treasure Coast, Lakeland, Kissimmee Osceola, Bartram Trail, Vero Beach, and Deland with no possibility of hosting the state-semifinal game if Manatee and Buccholz both make it all the way to round 4 of the playoffs, even though all of the other state-hopeful teams in 4S that I listed have played much more challenging schedules and will finish with at least 1 loss on the regular season. This doesn't seem fair at all. Manatee and Buccholz must be very pleased with the way this looks on paper.

Hope to see Cocoa play Venice and STA (at home!) again, next year. Venice vs Cocoa on ESPN would be a great money-maker for both schools!

Anyone outside the top 30 in Florida would lose by 35+ to Chaminade or Central

Cocoa should be top 15 nationally

Thankfully, the only way out is up. Osceola needs to put this miserable start behind them, win their district, and get healthy for the playoffs, where anything could happen.

What in the world is going on in Kissimmee? If you had told me 6 months ago that The Kowboys would start 0-5, I would have split my sides laughing. But now…

Yet another horrible decision by the FHSAA. South Florida teams now have to travel 8-9 hours for the state championship when they basically have a stadium in their back yard. What a sick joke. They will never learn.

Ask him how many wins Glades Central has against Cocoa in the postseason!

Is there any hope that Melendez could return for the playoffs?

Correction: They will *never* live it down. If Cocoa wins that game (as they rightfully should have,) you start to make Bishop Gorman/Mater Dei sweat a little bit in the chase for the national championship. This will forever be a black mark against the FHSAA, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Kissimmee Osceola has had a multitude of untimely injuries to deal with. They are better than their 0-4 record indicates. Bleeding has to stop eventually, it does here. Osceola wins this one.

Sanford Seminole is just a better team than Vero Beach. Assuming that they don't get the Northwestern treatment, they should win by 10-14 points. Treasure Coast will lose to STA but have nothing to hang their heads over. I have a feeling that some, "outside forces," won't let them win if the game is close anyhow. Lake City Columbia continues to head in the wrong direction. They have a fairly young team this year. They will see improvement next season. Apopka slows Edgewater's offense and pulls the upset at home.

But almost your entire team are freshman and sophomores. Imagine how good they will be a year from now, or even 2 years from now? This year is just an aberration.
