8K I wish.  Try 3-4K in most counties for head football coach

Unfortunately some of the best, most detailed coaches are currently at programs that don't have the athletes to compete for States. Some of the programs you see competing for States don't have the greatest coaches on their staff, they have great recruiters. They bring in enough kids every year to compete at a high level. 
As far as creativity in scheme is concerned...I don't necessarily agree with that. I saw some of everything this playoff season. Spread RPO offenses, power running schemes, Odd front defenses, Even front defenses, Cover-4 schemes, Cover-3 schemes, etc.
Football is a fad sport anyway. Every few years some new scheme becomes hot and everybody wants to run it. We've seen it in college and the NFL. The schemes are even less diverse on those levels than they are on High School.

I thought the entry fee for the playoffs was set by the FHSAA.  

First round results

That's what happens when you have a region that 2/3 of teams make the playoffs
 
Been saying for 2 years the small classes need to go to a North and South vs having 4 regions
 
 
Just not enough teams to justify 4 regions and no Districts

My money is on Escambia representing the north.  Not because they are a superteam or have the second coming of Emmitt Smith.  But more because I-10 is a loooooong road and that drive from Jax to P-Cola will suck the life out of you.  They are the top seed in the north and everyone has to go there.  Travel will definitely be a factor.

I didn't look into the specifics of that match-up or those teams, just pointing out the distinction between the two (cancellation v forfeiture).  Example, many games over the past couple years have been cancelled due to weather/hurricanes and not made up because they were not district games.  That doesn't affect a teams playoff chances (providing they still meet the minimum games criteria) but a forfeited game (used ineligible players, chose to end their season i.e. Gulf HS from this season, etc.) does affect each team's W/L record and therefore their RPI.

That was an exciting game.  I was coaching college that year up in Jacksonville.  Me and my wife drove down to Miami to watch.  Of course, I had just left coaching at Armwood after the prior season, so I had incentive to go.  

Don't know about the stats, but Tim Tebow and unheralded Justin Hickman from Armwood had a great QB battle in 2005.

One week left in the regular season.  All the districts have been decided.  Intrigue and anticipation are building!

I thought Randazzo had a couple of out-of-state wins earlier this season?
