    To recap: you follow up the statement "...I will NEVER answer to someone like you."...by asking me to answer you. Go fuck yourself.

    You've been offered numerous examples, both in writing and in the form of the full game with a specific time offered. The embarrassment grows worse the longer you try to defend it while refusing to watch it.

    My man, if you are short on time skip the first 1 hr, 40 minutes and go to 1:41:00 (1st fumble) where I , your friend, after 7 minutes turned the TV off. The Venice TD at 1:47:20 in slow motion with the camera standing behind the Official on the goal line says it all. It's the culmination of the ineptitude and or criminality, up to that point, of the striped shirted crew. If by chance you view the complete game, tell us all here ( at The Huddle ) if Venice received unfair treatment over  St. Frances from your limited television view with replays. Thank You.

    Ask around your buddies who've officiated and caught the game. I'm quite sure they will agree with all of us commenting in this thread. I'll look to see if I can find some clips of the worst calls.

    Bottom line: Both teams wanted to run the ball, and understood the LOS was going to be key. Lakeland could run the ball; Osceola could not. 
    The other fun fact is that, unless Buchholz takes one of us out, there will be another rematch. There's not much use in speculating further about what might/could/should have been given that fact. And it's possible both teams played with that in the back of their minds. The playoff rematch matters more. The team with more firepower not yet seen will have an advantage.
    Future seasons look bright for both teams.

    No, though Harrison had been performing very close to that level.

    No doubt, if Lakeland is simply unable to call for a fair catch on the pooches, and can't field those, they'll have plenty of trouble in a rematch, too. And if the DBs who were out remain out, that's also a problem. Harrison scored two TDs last week and played zero plays this week. If he tore an ACL or something, Lakeland will be hurt. Ditto Dontay Joyner and Twan Wilson. 
    I give credit to Osceola for playing much tougher than they seemed to last season. Last season, they seemed like a bunch of really nice guys. Tonight, as I said, they looked like the team that was going to get all of the 50/50 balls. Jakeem Jackson took two balls that should have been inconsequential for scores. He simply made the plays.

    Lakeland wins 25-22. Osceola battled, and appeared more battle tested in general. Lakeland probably should have won by more, but fumbled two kickoffs and gave up a couple of improbable big plays to Jakeem Jackson. Three of Lakeland's best DBs never saw the field. Maybe the basketball player that recently came out beat them all out. Seems unlikely though.
    While I think a full Lakeland wins more decisively in a rematch, I have to give credit to the Kowboys for battling. And I'm quite disappointed to see Lakeland squander such WR talent. Pleuss looked rather horrible. Perhaps Castle's scheme has messed him up. Perhaps Osceola was in his head due to some things shared on this board. Perhaps he's just not that good. I think Castle's approach to offense is generally bad for modern passing QBs. 
    I hope the experience makes Lakeland better. But, tonight, it seemed Osceola had the "clutch" quotient. Lakeland is fortunate to escape with a win.

    Have to agree with Skyway, had it not been for the officials this game would have been 48-3 rout.  On a single "TD Drive" if you can call it that, the penalties that kept the drive alive were minor in comparison with two fumble recoveries by SFA that the officials ruled they weren't; the second one just before the receiver crossed the goal line and fumbled it through the back of the endzone for a touchback.  Even the announcers had to point out the truth as it was self-evident.  The number of penalty yards accumulated by SFA may have been called for, but Venice OL can be seen holding on virtually every pass play and weren't called once for it.   Look at their schedule, it pays to stay at home.

    Live, on national TV tonight, the officials demonstrated how bad the officiating crisis is at the moment.  It was a profound embarrassment for the officiating profession. That is, of course, assuming it was not a matter of full-blown, corrupt, cheating that we watched tonight.

    Too much to comment in depth on now. Other than the usual exploitation of the awful offsides rule by Venice, there were several absolutely egregious calls against SFA. A Venice WR was running completely upright, was stripped of the ball...and then the play was called down. Several false starts by Venice weren't called. It was as bad as I can remember. And that's saying a lot given how bad the officiating often is in Florida.

    Weather forecast as of now has thunderstorm probability of a high of 68% (at 4pm) to a low of 38% through the 9:00 hour. 64% chance for the 7:00 hour. So, still a tossup, but looks like a chance for the game to be played after some delay. I gather there's increased urgency to get the game in. So, hopefully it won't be too fucked up by the weather.
    I can't get a good enough read on the game to make a pick. After this game, I'll be able to make picks for the rest of Lakeland's games.

    With the spineless pansies we have "managing" college and prep football now, look for this kind of thing to be the next big trend. We're going to see more of this.

    I understand your thinking, but that doesn't seem to be the vibe in Tampa right now.  That said, I'm a little surprised the family didn't make arrangements for the kid to finish out the school semester and the football season - living with another family, if necessary (which I believe would be OK since Jesuit is a private school and what district he lives in is irrelevant). 
    Yes, there are some rumors that he was about to lose his starting job (cannot confirm or deny those rumors), but there are several teams in the Tampa Bay area that could use a good QB.  It seems a little odd that the family would just pick up and move across the state, taking the kid with them, in the middle of the season, even if the kid had been told he was being benched.  Seriously, think of the costs associated with that decision -- selling a house, buying a new house, moving across the state, forfeiting any tuition they paid for Jesuit, etc. 
    For what it's worth, if I were ever in that position, I'd want to know that I'd be transferring into a good situation where I had assurances that I'd be able to play right away.   That means I'd need to know the new school's situation, the new school's coach and be reasonably confident that I'd be able to play this season at the new school.  I don't think that last item is something that you can get cleared/approved in advance by the FHSAA or whoever else has a say in that determination.

    Taking the games away from unruly fans makes sense. But, perhaps leaders can think of ways to ensure a better, more accountable crowd is present. Maybe require an ID to enter, and a scan of IDs for all who are unruly, followed by a ban, arrests etc. The "community" is not a thing. What you have are a handful of knuckleheads ruining it for everyone.

    30+ years ago, you'd figure this was just odd timing, and maybe bad luck for Jesuit. Now, with the increased specialization, traveling 7v7 teams, and building of super teams through unchecked transfers, the timing is highly suspicious. It's been a rough few games for the Jesuit offense, and they just were beaten soundly a few days ago. I have a hunch the Knight family was unhappy, perhaps because some on the team were unhappy with Knight. Just a guess...

    I’ve been following CAI since they were in 8 man. I have helped them get games over the years. I have Coach Chinchar’s cell and have spoke to him multiple times and went to a few of their games at Skyway back in the day and also Bishop McLaughlins field. and never had to pay. He just waved me in. Lol. So I am plenty familiar with CAI. They have great front line talent but depth has always been an issue. They are usually huge on the lines with Canadian and European kids, but they are still a little green to American football and it shows against the elite teams. They have really impressed so far with all the losses to graduation. The game against Lakeland is gonna be epic and with the way they rolled in their first 2 games I can see it being really competitive if everyone stays healthy

    Cheerleaders?   Bands?   Media?  JV players? 
    If I were the King, I'd be more inclined to at least allow parents/siblings of kids . . . perhaps 4 tickets for each player.  And perhaps a condition that for every 100 fans, the school has to pay for one deputy.   And add security checks to get in. 
    So, what's going to happen on game night?   Will there be a large crowd of people just outside the stadium?  If so, won't that create just as many problems/risks?  
    I understand the "tough love" approach and the "risk adverse" approach, but high school football just ain't the same without fans/cheerleaders/bands, etc.
