I'm Feeling you brother. Cocoa never plays Merritt Island anymore... Fans get nutz after the game. Had a group of 16 year olds trying to get me fired up after they lost to Cocoa several years back. I had to just ignore them and keep walking to my car. I know they just wanted take their frustration out on anyone that was from the other school.
Ya'll know the FHSAA ranking isn't a true ranking this early in the season even though 4 or 5 games have been played.
Have to say that Nole's rankings have a better understanding of where the teams should be regardless of classifications.
I know this was posted before but here it is again for those that missed the FHSAA's rankings.

Just my 2 cents. The Venice team I watched play Cocoa should be in the semis at the very least... They are a good program. I do know that the competition is tough in that class though. Lots of "what ifs" are going to happen along the path to the playoffs. I honestly think Venice could win 4S if they can keep the penalties to a minimum. They have the horses on both sides of the ball.
Buchholz prolly going to tally from the north side. Really though, it is up to every team and coach to to win the game. Can't let the road woes get to your team before the game even starts. Have to go into their house like you're the landlords and jack up the rent.
No matter what your schedule is you better win you district first and foremost. The crappy teams will probably be washed out before semi finals or total chaos will rule when it comes to scheduling in the next few years.
Have to say that some of the rankings really make no sense. You have no wins and a similar strength of schedule ranked over a team that has no losses and a higher SOS. I think Jam was poking fun at the FHSAA cause they clearly are not using pure numbers... It may be that they are using the human factor as another variable.
I'm just messing with you muckboy... Glade Central has all my respect and they will be back again eventually.
Rockledge took Cocoa to the woodshed a few time so there is no disrespect there when the Rock pulls a win over other teams.
