Hey everyone including @DarterBlue2 and @nolebull813 Left a post here to help answer you all: Thanks!

Hey everyone... thank you for you understanding what is going on with me via what @nolebull813 has shared! A lot has been going on here and just to kind of give to you all simply: 1. Had to put down our cat before Helene. It was hard. 2. Before Milton, my truck hydroplaned turning onto the interstate on the on-ramp, and hit a semi that was illegally parked. Sadly FHP hit me with a ticket anyway. Lost my truck as it was totaled by insurance and even with negotiating still didn't get enough to get a replacement vehicle. 3. The website is struggling financially. I have been below water. I don't want to go into all the details for now, but changes are coming as I look for other work. Right now this is not even keeping the bills paid. Honestly, I have serious regrets about ever launching the app and listening to the person who told me I needed an app. You all have been fine coming to the forums and website without an app. I also should have never done away with the subscription service completely, but in this part, this is a blessing in disguise as there is a new way to do this without making it hard on everyone. Still I still have some financial constraints and will need some sponsors to get to Miami for the state championships this year. 4. The bright side is I have been continuing to do the live stream of shows on YouTube each week. Recently as of yesterday became a YouTube Partner Program and I have some options to explore using X (Twitter), and Facebook. I am also looking at some other options as well but don't want to reveal what my plan of action is going to be yet going forward after this season. That is all for now, but if you have questions or want to chat with me, leave a comment or send me a message on here. Thanks! Josh

I have a preseason series going that is highlighting 2024 Storylines To Follow that you can read up here: • New classifications will set tone (July 29) • How many defending state champions will be able to repeat? (July 30) • SSAA move to 10-game schedule (July 30) • FHSAA playoff power rankings will shift more toward MaxPrep Rankings (July 30) • Rural classification taking on new playoff format in test (August 1) • Where are the FHSAA State Championships going to be played at? (August 1) Also, make sure to download the new FloridaHSFootball.com App on your iOS (Apple) or Android device today! iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US

I am working on compiling schedules as we speak. I am using multiple resources (everything from Team Twitter accounts to even Hudl -- believe it or not I am finding full schedules there). I have some help in getting them compiled in to a master spreadsheet. I hope to get these posted quickly as possible.

KIPP is new and will be fielding a team for sure. Sarasota Christian and Old Plank are moving up from SSAA 8-Man to SSAA 11-Man Innovation in Orlando will be the newest public high school in the state. In 2026 Sounside in Gulf Breeze will open as the Soundside Hurricanes. First new school in Santa Rosa County in 25 years when Navarre opened in 2001.

First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here. I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along. Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions. -- Josh

As I am working on All-State Teams, I am also working on a Top 10 series rating the best players by position groups from the season for eight defined regions. To do this I am looking at a variety of data including stats, strength of schedule, and more. The only thing I do not factor in is recruiting rankings. This is about performance and production on the field. There will be some exceptions along the way with this. Is it perfect? No. However, it provides the opportunity for debate and talk.

Specially Fit Academy... some teams dropped them after concerns. But playing 4 games in 14 days is ridiculous and unhealthy especially if the games were not affected by weather.

Today the FHSAA Football Advisory Committee met in Gainesville and a lot of things were discussed with several action items heading to the Athletic Directors Advisory ommittee in a couple of weeks.

I took a stab at it and felt I did pretty well with this but even after putting some factors into my look into who were the Top 10 best prospects Nick Saban had in his 17 years at Alabama, even I was a little stunned, but then that is the name of the game for a lot of things these days.
