Look at who the Coach is......Kevin Mays. Former Viera HC who went 1-1 vs Gonzaga in a home & away series with Gonzaga and Viera.

As for Dillard were not lookin over ANYONE were taking it 1 game at a time. But as a former player & fan to be in this possible position is unfamiliar and it feels great. 
 
after having so much history championships & tradition & to struggle in mediocrity for the past 18 years it’s been tough but after our bye week this week we have a chance to go UNDEFEATED (10-0 for the first time in SCHOOL HISTORY. last time we had 9 wins was in “89” we went on to lose to ely In the soul bowl but we won states that year. 
 
not only do Dillard have a chance to rewrite that wrong this year but we also have a few interesting  Potential matchups along the way; the rematch with Miami central have been talked about since last year ended & even more this year. But as things continue to finalize with these rankings we (Dillard) can be on a collision course with a undefeated Naples team. And if both teams win their next two games final game regular season & 1st round playoff games Naples will be coming in (10-0) & Dillard Will be (11-0) talk “game of the week” 
but as I stated we still have a long way to go before that game in possibly 3 weeks. Right now we will just continue to rest up heal up & get ready for a soul bowl game that is gonna do numbers the trash talk had been going on for weeks both schools are gonna tail gate & both teams will love nothing more then to crush the other especially ely to give us our first lost; but as a panther I’m loving every minute of all of this LETTTSSSSSS GOOOOOOO PANTHERS!!!!

Vero got 60 straight what's up

You are catching up to Rufus. He only has 30 wins in 9 weeks! 
Keep it up!  

Ole Fishspinners 7-3 in week 9 and now 21-9

Who are you? UCF?

A lot of people on this board assume that some of the teams with .500 or just a little better records or ranked outside the top 50 are somehow pushovers.   

I have heard a fair amount of negativity this year about the state of hs football in Florida.  No doubt some of our traditional powers may be underperforming.  And a few have downright crashed.  I would offer that the performance of a relative few (relative to the hundreds of programs in FL) does not make or break a season.  
There are a number of programs whose performance appears to be trending upward over the past 5 or so years.  I have listed some below.  I find this very exciting and encouraging.  Possibly we are simply seeing more parity today than we have in the recent past.  
Look at the parity in college football today.  It makes for exciting viewing.  I remember years ago when there was worry about some of the traditional NCAA powers faltering.  Who would have dreamed we would see some of the traditional doormats actually competing like they do today?.  Likewise, maybe we are at the start of a transition time in high school football and ultimately a changing of the guard.

6A North is pathetic. No excuses this year

From what I saw of Trinity and Lee this year I'm not that surprised especially after TCA beat Carol City
 
We played worst game by far all year at Lee last week and they barley escaped at home, we will win the rematch
 
I just hope Gainesville can upset Lee so they will have to come to Lake City because it's personal

When is the last time UF even CAME CLOSE to having the best 50 FL players on their roster
 
 
The best FL players are usually going to OOS schools which i believe you posted a thread last year about

What makes you think they should have man handled them? North Gwinnet is a top tier team in GA. I would expect them to make a legitimate run in 7a. Not sure where your logic is in this post. Actually from what I heard, North Gwinnet man handled Armwood. Numerous people have said that NG should have won by two touchdowns but gave up some BS plays that kept Armwood in it.

Did you quote the wrong post?

That's a fair point but there were a lot of teams ranked behind Columbia that I think are better. 

Armwood is a pretty good team no doubt. I just don’t trust them against anyone in their radar. 

The Lakeland/Armwood game should be pretty epic. I haven't had a chance to see Edgewater yet but I've seen STA, Lakeland, and Armwood in person this season. After the eye test, I have STA #1 followed by Lakeland then Armwood but it's really close IMO. I think anyone of those teams could beat each other on a given night. 

You would be correct.
Lake Wales is 14+ points better, and I would bet alot of money on that.

That's a fair point but there were a lot of teams ranked behind Columbia that I think are better. 

Time will tell. What I do know is that Lakeland has the talent to win again. I can't speak too much for Armwood, but regarding Edgewater, the team they have this year has many of the same faces as last year. They were juniors and sophomores then, this year they are seniors and juniors. Their QB is not as good an athlete as the kid they had last year, but he is a true QB unlike 2018 when they had an athlete at the position.
If this year's Lakeland team gets past Armwood and is playing as well as last year's did, then I believe they would beat Edgewater again. But if they are a little bit behind last year's team, Edgewater has a decent chance. 

I'm not counting Columbia out but I certainly wasn't buying their #3 ranking either. They probably have about as good a shot as any team in the North at making a trip to the finals. 

Max Preps is a joke in too many ways to discuss.
Dillard is easily top 4 in 6A and maybe higher.
Jax Lee is fringe top 10 and Columbia is not top 10 at all.

ColumbiaFan, You wanna talk about it? It is only halftime as I post this...

Next season I won't be late to the party!
