    The Seminole/Rockledge game was marred by fighting from the coin toss where one of the best players on the field was ejected from the game because punches were thrown by both teams, to the final whistle. When it was all over, there must have been a combined total of over 400 yards in penalties. I don't think you can say a lot about either team from this game.
    Maybe, an enterprising boxing or MMA manager/promoter, could find some talent  based on what went down.

    Venice Indian will b fine. Lotta games vs good teams to rise back up. 305 usually full of excuses BUT when 32 penalties are called against ANY team, there’s some Home cooking somewhere. A reffing crew is LOOKING hard for penalties…….Aquinas QB is their weak link. Indecisive, small, no downfield game. Stop the run & your chances get really good for a win!!!
    AHP surprised me! Solid game. 
    Broward did well vs the country…..
    Most of what I thought I knew going into week 1, showed me I don’t know much………..

    That is 100% correct. Usually, it's just human error; occasionally, it's bias whether recognized by the official or not; very rarely, it's an intentional effort to impact the result; but in each and everyone of these cases, it's what makes us as a species, "human".
    In the case of our resident referee, I would hate for him to be in charge of the crew that officiates one of my teams games because he's arrogant beyond belief, believing that his calls are always and forever correct; in short, denying his own humanity.

    You literally ask everyone to give examples of poor officiating when they mention bad calls. He went through and broke them all down and actually agreed with more calls than most other people have, now you’re taking issue with it?! He NEVER rated the officials, simply stated his opinions on the calls. You are known for asking why people don’t agree with calls or what happened, he gave it to you and instead of breaking down the calls yourself your attacking him. YOU have given ZERO input on the officiating, only questioning people instead on this and other threads. Get over yourself, refs are human and screw up.

    My recap:
    Quarter 1
    TD called back on Vero 1st series was legit - definitely motion / illegal shift on Vero
    Holding call  on MNW at 7:46 on 2nd drive looked legit - moved Vero to MNW 11
    A few obvious jumps/offsides on Vero - 3 in one possession
    Close call  around 6 min mark on a potential fumble ruled as incomplete pass - looked like right decision.
    Lots of jumps overall, nothing seemed particularly out of order or one sided.
    One questionable no-call PI on MNW around 5min mark. Looked like interference to me and from the commentators. 
    Running into the kicker call on Bulls was legit. Defensive holding on Bulls soon after inconclusive due to being out of frame. Was 2nd defensive holding call on MNW DBs
    Commentators seemed to think Bulls' DLine was leaning into neutral zone and not called
    Vero Final Drive, late hit called against Bulls was legit - put Vero at the 3 and led to 1st score.
    No overtly problematic calls Q1 as far as video showed. Some missed/uneven calls but nothing that would change the 6-0 outcome of the quarter. I can't tell about the two sideline warnings on MNW because both were out of frame.
     
    Quarter 2
    Personal foul against Vero for pulling helmet off Bull on a tackle WAS questionable. This call allowed MNW possession for a long drive that might have ended in a punt but ended in a score. Subsequent delay of game and illegal formation calls against bulls looked legit.
    1st and goal for Bulls and sideline warning becomes penalty. Obviously this is third call against Bulls. Assume it was legit, but out of frame. Bulls score anyway: Bulls 7, Indians 6
    Next possession, unsportsmanlike conduct called on MNW, late flag. No one seemed to know who it was on.
    End of that series, pooch kick returned by Bulls for TD. Same offiicial throws flag just prior to returner entering endzone. Commentator initially agreed because he saw Vero player fall in front of MNW player at the spot of the flag - called it a "silly foul" to block the guy in the back like that after the returner had clearly beaten him.
    Slow motion clearly showed that wasn't a block in the back. So 2nd commentator seemed to pivot in his comment away from this ruling and said, "must have been an illegal block" . So clearly commentators missed it, camera didn't show it. So the play was either out of frame (irrelevant to the play) or potentially a bad call.
    Holding call on MNW was obvious
    False start call on MNW punt actually helped them pinning Vero inside own 10.
    Holding call at 3min mark on Vero legit according to commentators.
    Roughing the passer on MNW QB was obvious. officials debated ball placement because it was a completion. Ball eventually placed correctly. Next play, Bulls score with 7 seconds left.
    two separate delay of game calls on both sides evened out
    Halftime: Bulls 13, Indians 6 
    3rd quarter
    Offsides called on Vero to start kickoff looked right (camera was zoomed in, but you could see helmet on botom of screen looked past line, but commentators complained).
    1st series, Bulls jump, legit
    MNW illegal procedure call hard to tell.
    Personal foul (late hit) on Vero looked legit. Set up MNW inside Vero red zone
    Bulls TD at 9:45 - flag thrown for holding #79 for MNW did indeed look to hold, saw Vero Dlineman #76 complain, had left arm under leg and turned sideways. So good call, even though QB had already rolled out.
    MNW flagged for intentional grounding. Very late call. Momentum shifts back to Vero at this point.
    MNW punt: Block in back on Vero Beach was apparent on the video, but commentators initially called confidently that MNW had illegal block. Didn't see it.
    Very late flag (personal foul) against MNW - commentators seemed to be confused as to what it was for. Speculated that it was sideline warning again.
    Vero commentator questioned where official placed ball after forward momentum by Bulls QB, but replay showed placement was correct.
    Just prior to Vero score, MNW charged with 2 consecutive 12-men on the field calls. Legit. Just bad coaching there. Personal foul on Bulls during Vero TD is earned. Ejection because it was helmet to helmet and QB was already in end zone by 5 yards. Game tied at 13 w 3 min left in quarter
    Last 20 seconds MNW called on some  defensive holding call that was unidentifiable by both the commentators and the camera.
    4th quarter
    1st series, #5 MNW safety called for personal foul with late flag. questionable. safety was falling, helmets contacted, but could have easily been a no call.
    Next play defensive PI on Bulls, brings Indians to 1st and goal inside the Bulls 10. good call.
    Bulls with 103 yard pick 6 TD. Holding call negates it. No camera angle on it. Commentators didn't see it either. Block was clearly no where near the play. Camera showed Bulls DB got a jump and beat all but two of his blockers. So block, if legit, was out of the play. I can see some concern here.
    A couple plays later, Bulls false start. Close but good call.
    Next play, big TD called back on Bulls 3 and 14. Flag was thrown earlier in backfield on screen play. Illegal procedure. Didn't see it, but probably legit. You can see frustration kicking in on Bull's side.
    Penalty #30 on Bulls pins them inside their own 5.
    Punt return for Vero flagged twice: illegal block on Vero, late hit on Bulls. 1st call good, late hit ok, commentator aid hit was 5 yards out of bounds, but camera showed it was closer than that and momentum forced. Could have been a no call. On same play, it appeared that the Vero receiver's knee touched the turf at the point of reception. Referees took a while to make the call. Penalties should have been of setting. 
    eventually, zebras rule "knee was down" - then two dead ball fouls followed. Took several minutes to resume play.
    Big run by Vero, holding call made. No evident on camera. Veros still maintain drive.
    Bulls called for CB lining up in neutral zone
    Bulled flagged late for Personal Foul in endzone (facemask). Could not see on camera but official was right there. Eventually called of setting penalties. Serious lack of discipline. Before next play, MNW calls timeout.
    3rd and 1 inside the 5, MNW gets flagged for their THIRD 12-men on the field call. No excuses here. Vero 1st down at the Bulls 3 yard line. Two plays inside of the 3 and no score. Commentators are beside themselves. TD on 3rd down. Missed PAT with 2:25 in game
    ensuing kickoff, obvious fair catch violation on Vero.
    Bulls miss last best chance to win with open dropped ball by #2. Would have been TD.
    Before next snap, MNW coaches called for being on field. Not visible but probably legit. - It was the 4th overall. Officials' decision took far too long to call.
    Final 19-13
    Overall, one score negated for Indians, 4 called back for Bulls. 2 of them were questionable, 2 weren't. Clearly, MNW is undiciplined, both on the field and on the sideline. But also clear, MNW has more talent overall. If they can get some discipline they are still looking as a contender come playoff time.

    I was there and it wasn't one thing that beat us but a combination of them.  RB Elijah Hickson and HB Hayden Dekle didn't dress due to injury, OL was flat, poor QB play, all which led to no sustain offense.  Field position in the first quarter was played entirely on our side of the 50 constantly putting our defense in difficulty, too many penalties, too many missed tackle opportunities and everything else that could possibly go wrong.  TC initial possession started at midfield and only had to travel 25 yards to score after 2 offside penalties, plus another 15 yard variety keeping all the early momentum on their side.  Their second score was more of the same which translated to a 14-0 first quarter lead.  Yes, they got away with a lot of holding but we needed to overcome that as we are seldom on the positive side of penalties.   Despite the poor start, our defense held them scoreless the remainer of the game; final TD by them was fumble return. Their defense is good, but not in the same league as Apopka's.  Most of the damage last night was self-inflicted, weaknesses were exposed that I hope the coaches adjust going forward.  Overall, not a very well-played game as neither team looked top 25 in this state. Not our night.  It happens.

    I will fully admit that this game was the last pick I made and it took me the longest time to decide who to pick.  If the game were being played at Norland (or even at a neutral site), I would have picked Norland.   But I'm assuming (perhaps I'm wrong) that Lakeland's new coach will get some of that home-coooking that Castle used to get - maybe the servings won't be quite as big, but it'll be just enough to tilt the scales in favor of the Dreadnoughts.

    In my world, neither of the reasons you give would sway me as a parent to allow my child to transfer.  Granted, one may call those reasons "Legitimate".  As a parent, I would be more compelled to make the move for the following reasons:  Academics, Safer/Better school environment, Playing time/Exposure and even poorly run program; probably a couple of others that don't readily come to mind.   We have lost a few excellent players the past couple of years and in their situation it was a good decision.

    Perspective reacted to Longtime Observer in Norland @ Lakeland   
    If you'd like to watch live for free, there are two options. One is here, and the other will require a direct message as it is "underground". I hope the first link is of good quality, but I can't say as this will be the first broadcast seen at that link.
    As for the game, I really have no idea how it will go. I know Norland is loaded, and is talking state title even as they share a district with the Central Rockets. Lakeland has a lot of talent as well, but much of it is unproven.
    Lakeland will probably use a variety of offensive formations, including both spread and power/under center stuff. The QB is a Power 5 recruit at the moment, but did not demonstrate this against Armwood. Lakeland may have been holding back, we don't know. The defense prefers to use a small DL, but the guys are quick and tenacious and hard to keep blocked. Teams will definitely try to pound the rock on them. It remains to be seen how well they'll hold up. The back seven/eight is very good and blazing fast. 
    Norland appears loaded throughout. The QB Yapoor makes it all go, accounting for over 4,000 yards-including 500 in a playoff game vs. Central last year- as a sophomore. He's a true dual-threat QB. If he gets confused by coverages, he's going to take off and run. He's a very strong runner, and will be tough to bring down as he's built like a power running back. The defense has a pair of twins who are all fast pass rushers. If they get an offense in a must-pass situation, they'll get a ton of turnovers off of pass rush and a great secondary.
    For Lakeland to win, they'll have to do what they did often under Bill Castle: have superior schemes that keep the opponent off-balance. Castle isn't the head coach anymore, so we'll see how the rest of the staff does in scouting and game-planning. Shockingly, it appears highly unlikely there will be any sort of weather delay. If Norland's OL controls the LOS, Norland will win the ball game. If Lakeland's light, but fast DL can be disruptive, the 'Naughts have a great shot.

    Perspective got a reaction from Ray Icaza in Viera Coach Fired After Hazing Incident   
    https://www.fox13news.com/news/land-o-lakes-high-school-football-team-suspended-following-allegations-of-locker-room-fight
    I gotta say, from my perspective, the situations at Viera and Land O Lakes are very different.   Per the linked article, the LOL situation involved a locker room fight between two freshman players on the JV team.  The article also mentioned that some of the players in the locker room whipped out their phones and started recording the fight.   Wow, there's a shocker. 
    Per the article:  "On Tuesday, the district chose to cancel all games and practices indefinitely while they investigate the situation, meaning the JV and varsity's season kick off games against River Ridge High School this week, won't be happening."  That, in my opinion, is an overreaction by the District.   Unless there is significantly more to this story, this matter should have been handled internally by the coaches -- suspending the two JV players involved in the fight, if necessary, and perhaps a "team conditioning penalty" for stupidity (taking/sharing the videos).   Suspending varsity activities (causing the cancellation of a game) is way too excessive.

    Depends on the teams, the hype, if there is a rivalry, what's at stake etc. Generally, Florida's atmosphere is not the same as Texas or GA. California I'm not sold on. You only see the top few teams, so who really knows. I've been to some games at Plant and Lakeland that absolutely have big time atmospheres, attendance, importance, etc. But generally speaking, no, our atmospheres are not the same. But if you look at Texas and Georgia, they are more community schools. A state full of Apopkas, Lakelands, Columbias, Nicevilles, etc etc
