More likely someone entered the wrong Providence as they played Providence from Jacksonville last year and they had a two-year deal.

I didn't even realize that Hillsborough County was getting ready to open ANOTHER high school... I am glad I went back through this thread. All five of these schools you have named will have football as they are relief schools for existing schools. Morgan will be JV only this year and then next year (2026) have varsity. Legacy will have Varsity in 2025 as I have one team already with a varsity game on the schedule for them.

Just added East Bay and Dunedin to the list... Coming over the next couple of days on schedule analysis: Ocoee Chaminade-Madonna Father Lopez Hardee Lely Lakeland

Back to doing more 2025 Schedule Analysis as we get spring football started and trying to do as many teams as I can a day. With 600 schools, there is a lot to cover in such a short amount of time. You will need a Premium Season Ticket Membership ($59.99/year) or a Season Ticket Membership ($39.99/year) to view these breakdowns as they go just beyond posting a simple schedule. This looks at the workings of the schedule with thoughts and analysis from yours truly. There is also a 24-Hour Ticket which you can view select articles for just $4.99. Right now, there is a promotion running on the Premium Season Ticket for 25% off through May 24 with code SPRING25. Here are the teams I have done a 2025 Schedule Analysis for: Beachside Clearwater Central Catholic Dunedin East Bay Jones Matanzas Manatee Middleburg Venice

Hello Everyone! Yesterday, I launched The Florida Power Rankings Index with girls flag football getting the first run of the system. Over the last three-plus years, it has been a labor of love trying to figure out a system that would work, something that could emulate what the great Joe Pinkos had for many years with tackle football and girls' flag football. I miss Joe greatly, and I feel I have succeeded at this point with what has been launched. So far, based on Flag Football games Monday and Tuesday that have been reported, the system was 107-27 with predictions with a correct percentage at 79.9% As such, I have scaled this for both sports and I am excited to see the full effort come about for football this fall. And yes, some of the content is going to require a PREMIUM Season Ticke Subscription (the highest level)... here is what to know what will be free and what will require a subscription. The Florida Power Rankings Index will have a permanent home on FloridaHSFootball.com right here at this link: https://floridahsfootball.com/the-florida-power-rankings-index/ Here is the release below: If you all have any questions or comments, please feel free to share those thoughts below:

HELLO EVERYONE! I know it has been a while since I posted here, but I have some updates—and this is actually good news! 1. I am in the midst of girls' flag football season, which, as you might know (unless you have been sleeping under a rock), has been taking off across the country, Florida has been the leader of the sport since the late 1990s, when Palm Beach County launched it as a club sport, and it has only grown since and is on the verge of becoming a Division I sport. I've been generating more content this season than any other platform for girls' flag football in Florida, and I am pretty proud of it. Also, my partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jaguars PREP helps bring even more focus to what is going on with the sport. 2. I dumped the app... yeah, please, no one ever suggested to me having an app again. First, they are a money pit, and unless you have a dedicated digital team, it really can bog you down it became my Achilles heel. Second, they don't bring the revenue they promise unless you have millions of fans (maybe I am exaggerating some, but you get the point, right?). Third, there are some other things I want to say, but I won't but always trust your gut. Being circled and talked to by someone on the outside was the worst. 3. Dumping the app leads to this point: I should have never gotten rid of subscriptions, but I did launch the app, and honestly, that helped the site. Well, the subscriptions are back (in a bit different format), and so far, it has been a great thing in the first month! So, as far as the subscriptions go there are two different levels, both charged on a yearly basis: • Premium Season Ticket - $59.99 • Season Ticket - $39.99 You can view more about what each level entails here: https://floridahsfootball.com/membership-levels/ Yes, there is an unlock 24-hour ticket, but not everything will get that, requiring one of the two levels mentioned above. So why is there no monthly option? Honestly, it costs more to maintain a monthly option because of the potential of having to track people down if they have a failure with a credit card on payments. Having a yearly option only for both levels give me a streamlined process of who is going to renew once a year and which month, and it is easier to track down. The 24-hour ticket also doesn't require me to do much and allows people access to select content without creating too much hassle. 4. New content is going up almost daily—yes, there is a lot of content on both sides. The tackle and flag are going up almost daily, including history content! I will create a new post with content to check out, and I might create a weekly thread of published content so you all can check it out! 5. Sponsorships are now Partnerships. I took a hard look and realized this might have been one of my biggest downsides. I want to partner with those and have partnerships with companies and businesses that believe in the power of high school athletics as we do. Ultimately, it is already working, as the Florida Coaches Coalition approached me a few weeks ago after some controversy stirred up on the socials, and I ultimately landed a multi-year deal with them. This is not the last, and I have some pretty ambitious plans to grow this. You can see more here: https://floridahsfootball.com/partnerships/ | You can also view our Partnerships Media Kit here: https://floridahsfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-Florida-HS-Football-Partnerships-Media-Kit.pdf 6. Live Shows—We're Working on getting those back on and might even reformulate what we do. I would like some insight into whether you all like the regional shows or would rather see one statewide show that has different things for the different regions. You can leave me your thoughts in the comments. 7. Additional Writers and Internships - I have already brought on Christopher Lyke, the original Founder, and Editor-In-Chief of TexasHSFootball.com, before he sold it almost a decade ago. I have been friends with Chris for a long time, and he will do exceedingly well helping us out. As a matter of fact, Chris is the one who helped us get the forum software we have now years ago, and it has been great! As for internships, applications are opened and accepted on a rolling basis, so if you know anyone at the high school or college level looking for exposure, please send them over to this link: https://floridahsfootball.com/inside/internships/ I think that is all I have for the moment. Feel free to ask questions! Thanks!

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
