THAT S--T WAS FUNNY

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

As a coach, I would take that all day as long as 2 out of the 3 road games are against a south Florida power and a good school from anywhere else including out of state. Two tough road games as well as a few tough home games would be efficient for getting ready for the post season. Why travel 3 extra games just to blow teams out when you can do the same thing at home. And you already know the gate $ is always going to be good at Venice.

Must be a new "street agent" pipeline up there in the big bend area.

Yeah but like you said an extra game or two gets a good player on a bad team a chance to get noticed.

Thats actually what your going to get with this new D team playoffs. Anywhere from one to five more games for the athletes to get the opportunity to get noticed by colleges. You might have to get through a 2-8 team in the first round but then you will have a few more rounds against opponents with the same record and ability. We all know why this will pass and be around for a while....FHSAA wants the $.

Dr. D your right, I forgot all about that while I read through this thread. Going to be crazy if that passes. I think the bottom tier teams in the upper classes will be all in. Gives the cellar dwellers a chance to hang a banner.

Winter Haven has had some success recently, especially in basketball the last two years. But this year they are atrocious in both sports.

Gibbs has always struggled. They did have a little success when Shaun King played for them. By success I mean their record was above .500.

Texas has independent school districts. There might be only one high school in a particular district with their own school board and superintendent dedicated to that one high school. It would be like PHU being governed by people that only have PHU's educational and athletic interest at heart. Mix in some oil money and you have those amazing facilities and community backing.

FIT (Family in transition) is the term used in most school districts.

Don't hold your breath

I miss the Sunshine Network

Yeah now a days if you dont make the playoffs you are probably not very good.

No one mentioning how @SFLFBFan got the documents of the accused. It looked like it came straight from the guidance department. Now I know why he deleted it. Kinda crazy

Well obviously he is back after a years hiatus. I didnt mean to wake his slumber. My bad

When it comes to officials...dude is shady. I would never trust him if he was working a game I was at.

"Guess who's back! Back Again!! Shady's back tell a friend!!!"

Your 4 year eligibility clock starts when you enroll as a freshman. Some parents know this rule and are holding their kids back in the 8th grade. But you gotta be careful because the player will be ineligible their senior year if they turn 19 before July 1st.

I could see a certain official that used to post on here pulling that ego stuff.

A Semi Final at Niceville is a tough place to play.

I just watched the replay on YouTube. Palmetto does a great job broadcasting their games. It was awesome! They had drone footage, knowledgeable commentators, a sideline reporter, and the "Stranger Things" them in the beginning was great.

The old system was good because it was easy to figure out who you would have in each round. But two great teams that were state final caliber would often meet in the second round. Dade county had this happen just about every year that system was in place. I remember back in 2017 when Dr. Phillips played Osceola in the second round. DP won on a last second TD. Moving forward DP was not challenged at all and won a state title. That DP and Osceola game was for the state championship, too bad it happened in the second round. That Osceola team had 3 d lineman that went on to start on 3 different teams in the ACC along with a bunch of other D1 players. But their season ended too soon.

I used to get the NFHS rule book for free but not no more. I know in the 2021 manual it stated that an ineligible man downfield foul resulted in a 5 yard penalty and replay of the down. I figured that was still the rule because I have seen it a few times this year and that was always the result.
