    Legion37 got a reaction from OldSchoolLion in The Best FL HS Offense of Each Decade   
    I wouldn't trade the 2004 or 2005 Lakeland Offenses for anyone during the 2000's  QB's who could both run and pass, top notch running backs, and an O-line that was unmovable. 30-0 during that period with 2 different QB's - and while we "might" recruit we don't give free (or amazingly reduced) scholarships like STA. Now 2006 the QB was blah but still got the job done. 45-0!

    Yes.  Manatee is #5.  And STA is responsible for one of Manatee's home playoff losses, back in 2005.  Manatee returned the favor in 2009.  Manatee's last home playoff loss was last year against Venice.

    Oh and one final thing...I was not terribly surprised that someone at IMG was hip deep in the college SAT admission scandal. Not saying the school was but someone working at the school? ... No real surprise.

    Lakeland didn't lose at home last year they lost at Armwood. Lakeland isn't any of those teams.

    Legion37 reacted to Proseteye in Edgewater V IMG   
    I thought that Edgewater did a very credible job against IMG especially in the first half. We all have to realize that IMG has two separate teams. Their Offense and their Defense. None of their players go both ways. You could see that Edgewater players were dragging in the 4th quarter. Also IMG's OL is huge and overpowers most defenses even in the first quarter. So many Edgewater players went out with cramps or minor injuries. None of the IMG players went out with cramps. I noticed that IMG has cleaned up it's act from last week with very few penalties tonight. They will need that discipline when they start playing Ravenwood and Duncanville both away games.

    And for too many of those that are not necessarily fearful, they are motivated by other agendas.

    Mostly for those who are above the age of 65 with existing co-morbidity conditions (about 80% of all deaths attributed to Covid-19  in the US as of 9/2/2020). Other than those deaths, the pandemic hasn't come close to the annual death toll taken each year in the US by influenza (35,000) and automobile accidents (40,000), yet many people still won't get flu shots or call for schools to close down for the flu, and we still continue to drive our cars every day. Why isn't the media broadcasting those figures? Simple, it doesn't suit their agenda for 2020.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    After watching IMG make tons of mistakes and still crush Venice last night, Edgewater better be clicking on all cylinders. I don't think Edgewater has a chance. IMG can run and PASS (pass like a college team with college players) I wonder if IMG is allowing people in the stands (Venice certainly did) - might check this game out in 2 weeks.

    I will take Lakeland's 28 straight years in the playoffs, 6 state championships in those 28 years and a 60 game regular season winning streak as well as a 53 game winning streak over a few teams who can on occasion say...we beat Lakeland once or twice in our history. 
    Hillsborough isn't  cooking anything worth eating...

    Good for Edgewater. I can't see STA not winning however, but I was wrong about Armwood. But Armwood isn't STA. Good luck!
