Well, the much-anticipated matchup is finally here. Venice vs Manatee! Venice, 4-2 after rough losses to Armwood and Cocoa. Manatee, and perfect 6-0 record heading into the game with strong wins over IMG Varsity, Lake Minneola, Port Charlotte, and Braden River. Who wins this one in the race to secure home field throughout the playoffs? I'm rolling with the green team! GO INDIANS!

While the hurricanes is undefeated the schedule they’ve had vs the schedule the Indians has had thus far is NIGHT & DAY. 
 
while I do expect manatee to come out aggressive & full of adrenaline, I expect in the end when the dust settles for Venice to win by a score of 42-14

You've oversold Manatee all year IMO. I think Venice wins comfortably.

You aint lying with statement. I blame twitter....I mean X

I am glad you see that. 

I wasn't talking about Maxpreps. Though I don't necessarily like them, they have the rankings mostly correct in my eyes so I can't complain about them. On the other hand...
The FHSAA's take is more than laughable. Take a look at the Power Rankings on the FHSAA site. It is pure garbage from start to finish. No Miami Central in the top 5? Cocoa behind STA? St. Augustine a top 5 team in Florida? Norland at number 9 behind Edgewater and St. Augustine? Lakeland, the 52nd best team in the state?  Venice, the 76th best team in Florida? Bradford ahead of Sanford Seminole? HAHA, NO! Plenty of people on this board have pointed to the flaws with Maxpreps, but I do usually like and agree with their rankings, for better or worse. 

It's a, "me-first," world, no doubt. Seemingly, nobody around my age cares about the big picture anymore. I blame it on the rampant proliferation of social media, which in turn has created a massive consumerist society in which we never feel gratified by material possessions anymore. Everyone wants to be the next big thing or buy what they see on the TV screen. We're losing our attention spans and seeing a rise in mental illness as a result. 

Everyone see's it, my personal observation is that is seems like many are less concerned with winning a game and more concerned with producing dynamic content for their recruiting tapes if that makes sense.

These polls are ridiculous.
Chaminade, Miami Central, Norland, Cocoa, and AHP are the top 5 teams in Florida with little argument based on what has happened on the field.

No, I think Columbus is a slight favorite. But I believe any of: Sanford, Lake Mary, Olympia, Apopka, Palm Beach Central, and possibly Sumner and/or Mandarin would give Columbus a close game by the time the semis and final roll around.
I see this Columbus team as being about the same as last year's in terms of quality, albeit with slightly different strengths and weaknesses. Last year, Both Ocoee and Apopka gave Columbus all it could handle in the semis and final. For the life of me, I don't see why this year will be any different. 

A dozen years ago or so, FCP was one of the area's best. Today, they are a shell of their former selves. 

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 

What will determine that is how quickly they strike against FPC, I warned them that Brian Piccolo would take their soul, week later Cocoa finished it.... 

Norland would have played a way better game against Bosco & would have smashed cocoa, That lakeland game was Game uno. Lot of teams had alot to iron out but from then out they’ve dismantled everything. You can have the debate of sos all you like but Quality of the actual team matters more imo. STA looks okay this season but it’s literally all behind their name. They haven’t played anybody fr & when they did we seen what happened. Both times at home. But the season progresses so we’ll see how things play out

Actually you can even go back to the spring game against Palm Bay Heritage, they just haven't been looking right this year, FPC dominated one qt while Palm Bay and Jensen Beach both shutout FPC @ FPC

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! 
 
 
 

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.

What’s crazy is that it was police’s everywhere. Even parked on the field near the end zone on the track and all over the school & parking lot. Smh 

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.
