Hey everyone! I know I haven't been on here much lately with a lot going on behind the scenes and some exciting announcements to come soon! Tonight around Midnight Eastern, the server is going to be going offline for about 30 minutes to an hour for a server upgrade. At the end of last season during the playoffs, the website started to experience some slowdowns with the amount of traffic coming on to the website. With the season approaching, I knew I needed to do something to increase the memory load on the server and thus tonight, I am having the memory doubled on the server to handle the anticipated load of traffic that is going to potentially come with some of the announcements that are about to come soon. I will be back with you all with more things soon!

And now I see the post about the player cards that are being sold that have Chaminade-Madonna on the schedule... so I am trying to figure out what schedule is correct and is this GCTE even playing Vero Beach as this school is showing... I think @LAZ is right... something doesn't seem right. Why would Vero Beach even entertain playing a first-year school given the fact this would hurt their RPI for the playoffs? It doesn't make sense.

@LAZ This is an 11-man program... I think Vero was supposed to schedule Chaminade-Madonna on October 18th, but has since been replaced with Grant Career & Technical (GCTE). I am looking at Chaminade's schedule right now on their school site and they have Western on their schedule for that date. So there is that.

I recently in the last month launched a new podcast, the FloridaHSFootball.com Podcast. I will start to post the Episodes here as we go along. Please feel free to leave suggestions of people who I should bring on to the podcast and topics to discuss. Open to ideas beyond my own!

Love those details... man Lion love this stuff... this has me giddy about what we have talked about behind the scenes.

Woodham, I believe it is... I heard West Florida was eventually supposed to move into the old Woodham campus, but they use the stadium now for football, soccer, etc.

Thanks to everyone who has shown support here. First, no legal action has been threatened, but I have to nip it in the bud before it does become an issue and in this day and age, someone can screenshot things in a matter of seconds after something is posted. Just the world in which we live in these days. Second, I am open to Free Speech, but there comes a limit with things. The thing involving STA is a gray subject area dealing with the law and how one might interpret it. As Proseteye mentioned, I would be in a potential lose-lose no matter which way something of that nature was to swing if someone came calling for my head. Right now, what I make doing this is barely keeping things above water. Things are slowly improving, but this has been something I don't want to walk away from having this message board or more importantly the overall FloridaHSFootball.com website where a majority of the content is posted at because I have to dissolve all the assets (which truthfully is not very much) I do have to pay for a lawyer. Something I would have no interest in doing. Nevermind I would likely lose all the gains I have made on my health and wellness in the last year (yeah I have lost over 65 pounds and dropped some pants sizes in the process... will have to change out my profile photo soon) if something like this were to happen. So just wanted to share these thoughts at the moment.

Unfortunately, in this sue happy world, it is better to err on the side of caution, but still, in a case of something of this magnitude, anyone on here needs to approach me and talk to me about it before just going ahead with it.

Recently a controversial topic regarding a sensitive topic involving a text message was posted and I didn’t catch on to it until just a little bit ago. Apparently, you all are seeking to get me in to potential legal trouble by going this direction and something I will not tolerate. If I had a bucket full of money I might let it hang around, but the entire FloridaHSFootball.com operation is pretty much a one-man show and this my livelihood. This is not a hobby and I don’t make no where I should be making for a decent living. I really could be (and should be) charging for these forums to help cover the costs each month to keep the website and forums running (this stuff is not cheap folks!!!!!) but I don’t because I want this to be an open community for the best sport in the best state in the nation! Point blank, I pour my heart and soul into this not because I have to but because I want to because I believe in this! The lights on this website and forums can easily go dark tomorrow if it had to but that is a direction I do not seek nor do I ever want to seek out or have to take. I know this may come off brash, but I have no choice but to put my foot down on something this sensitive. Call me a party pooper all you want but I can’t afford to have something be filed against me because you all decided to post something controversial instead messaging me on here or sending me an email to clear it first. Read the rules of the forum for a quick refresher on things. Any questions, message me! If you want to help out the cause with things around here to make sure things keep going and we continue to use this great open community, consider a donation via PayPal. If you want to donate but can’t do PayPal, message me and I will gladly send you the mailing address and company info to make a check out to. PayPal link: https://www.paypal.me/floridahsfootball
