THAT S--T WAS FUNNY

This aint your daddy's Brandon wrestling team anymore. Brandon has fallen off the globe from what they were when we were in HS. But now you have top teams like South Dade, Lake Gibson, Somerset Academy, and Tampa Jesuit that pretty much dominate the sport in the state of florida. Somerset is a school that takes full advantage of the situation that I explained earlier. They also have a lot of kids that go there and wrestle in grades 6 through 8th and then transfer to South Dade for freshman year or stay at Somerset. They even had a kid the past few years that would play football for Western HS and wrestle for Somerset. It is what it is....The system is F'ed and there aint no going back.

This system is bad in Florida HS wrestling as well. kids will take home school classes on the computer and wrestle for a school 3 hours away. They find places close to home to train at and then on the weekends they drive to whatever tournament that school is participating at that weekend and wear their singlet.

Plant was rolling in the mid to late 2000's. The turnaround that Coach Weiner was able to operate was pretty great.

Good thing he rescued those 7 kids from Timber Creek. The Avalon community is a scary place. So poverty stricken over there.

The dudes name is Steven Moffett. Been around for a while (winter park, leesburg, TFA). Runs the 7v7 team 24K. Recruits kids from there and though various trainers and street agents around CFLA.

Game film is and always will be the most effective way to get seen. The eye in the sky don't lie. College coaches visiting the school also has a huge impact in recruiting. Top programs have university after university visiting and getting to know the coaches and players. Hard to find out about a kid's grades, practice habits, classroom behavior, weight room habits, home life, etc.... at a camp with 300 or more kids. I can't count how many times I've been at practice when a college coach asked about a kid that he hasn't heard of yet but may have seen listed on the prospect list that the HC game him before practice. Happens all the time.

Sounds like Polk county being Polk county

The championship game cant be the first time you see talent and speed like in dade and boward. If you know your team is capable of making a run, its a pretty good idea to schedule a banger or two from that region if you can. If you got a tough team you got to do the things like scheduling tough to give your kids the best chance possible.

In some cases when a really successful program goes through a HC change along with new assistants, it may take a few years before you start seeing things start to chip away.

DId all the kids have helmets for the game or did they have to borrow a few from Da' Gib?

Or away uni's

Makes sense. Thanks for looking that stuff up.

Windermere HS had a varsity team and was part of a district when the school first opened in 2017. Also, Innovation HS is in its first year of existence and the girls soccer team won districts and made a playoff run this year.

I was joking. Heck I even put LOL at the end.

This crime is directly correlated to the low coaching pay in the state of Forida. Pay the coaches more and they won't steal their own s--t. LOL

This is a clear example of a school trying to match broward and dade county's formula. That s--t dont work in central florida because coaches tell on each other. There is an unwritten code down south that counties north just have a hard time comprehending. TFA did too much too quick.

Only two things that get you fired as a coach in florida....one of them is messing with $, and the other is what this shit head did.

Where was he at before Bartow? Can't find anything on google because it is flooded with articles about the arrest.

The SHARKS are circling

You think Dade would have figured it out by now. Thats a lot of years of trial and error just to have the same result.

Good to see perennial Tennessee power Baylor taking a big chance playing a top S FLA school. WTF

Go Jambun...GO!!!!!!

What if this is a ploy to get to transfers and promise more exposure. Street agents are hard at work, "if you come to manatee you will get some great film going against Bosco". Potential transfer, "jeez mr street agent, that sounds great. I will tell my mom and dad to put in for school choice". And then they proceed to lose by 50 with no highlights. SMH
