Looked like this was a rough weekend for some big names. American Heritage 41 Venice 26 Cardinal Gibbons 17 STA 10 (these guys need to play more often) Jones 31 Edgewater 13 Did I miss any? A weekend that makes High School Football great! And just for full disclosure Lakeland got it's butt kicked again Bloomingdale 39 LHS 14

Venice is certainly an excellent team, very few smash Lakeland at Lakeland like that. Good luck to them the rest of the way.

Hard to gauge Lakeland this year, the 2 weeks did them no favor. Look forward to the game.

Is STA playing football? What is their record?

Is STA even playing football?

42-7 IMG Glad I didn't go (or really wasn't allowed too) IMG's games are dull to start with, no real fans, cheerleaders from another school, a pep band with no allegiance to the school, no pizzazz. Add in that most of their games are like this...blowouts... No doubt you see some quality players who all will be playing on Saturday's but... Imagine I would have been bored by halftime.

Fearful men abound.

As of right now IMG isn't allowing anyone to attend the game from off campus. Would have liked to checked the game out in person.

Agreed, we have sold a bill of goods as to how bad this illness is. For some it is deadly, no doubt, for the vast majority it is not! We have become fearful men. Lakeland should be playing football and dealing with 1 case that statistically is unlikely to do anything of note.

My girls are starting week 4 in Manatee County - no issues of note despite the media's attempts to say otherwise.. The schools need to be opened fully and we need to not be fearful men. It's dragged out here (assuming that's true) because we have freedom and my rights don't end simply because some will suffer injury or loss. Lakeland should be playing football.

Lakeland High School just announced a covid 19 issue and will be shutting down for 2 weeks. Canceling games with George Jenkins and Plant City.

Play a game in Plant City and you'll see. Hillsborough county has plenty of issues as well.

Where is Lakeland ranked?

Defending officiating is a pointless exercise. Home cooking is prevalent enough that it doesn't go away year in and year out. And commentators have eyes too. I agree most officials could care less about who wins the game but until it is ALL officials (which it will never be) then missed calls, bad calls and sometimes missed and bad calls purposely made will be part of the game!

To whom?
