  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Check it out here: https://floridahsfootball.com/2024/01/11/the-top-10-best-prospects-nick-saban-recruited-from-the-sunshine-state-at-alabama/

     

  4. After running a survey for a while for coaches to complete and nearly 200 responses, I have published the results of that survey along with a separate article with dozens and dozens of quotes from coaches around the state expressing everything from disgust for the FHSAA to expressing happiness for the recent changes to the classifications.

    Below are the links to the stories to read: 

    PART I: Coaches are not on board with changes to classifications leaving them unhappy with the FHSAA - https://floridahsfootball.com/2024/01/04/survey-says-part-i-coaches-are-not-on-board-with-changes-to-classifications-leaving-them-unhappy-with-the-fhsaa/

    PART II: The best of the best in comments from coaches who completed our survey - https://floridahsfootball.com/2024/01/04/survey-says-part-ii-the-best-of-the-best-in-comments-from-coaches-who-completed-our-survey/

  5. The FHSAA Board of Directors has called a special meeting for today at 2 PM ET that will be live streamed virtually via YouTube by the FHSAA regarding the new classification policy that could determine the future of how all team sport classifications will look like in Florida.

    You can read more about the classification proposal as it is is proposed right by visiting this link: https://fhsaa.com/documents/2023/12/8/Classification_Task_Force_Proposal_BOD_Packet_December_12_2023.pdf

    In the leadup from 1:45 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. we will discuss what the proposal entails and set the table. At 2:00 p.m. we will tune in to the meeting with everyone else and we will provide our thoughts and commentary as we watch along. We will also take your questions and comments. After the meeting wraps up, we will continue our discussion and thoughts and analysis.

    Watch 'LIVE' on YouTube, Facebook and X (Twitter) starting at 1:45 PM ET on Tue. Dec. 12, 2023.

    2 weeks in row BT making that trip

    No joke...

    That trip to Navarre was 369 miles one-way or 738 miles round trip.

    To Niceville is 331 miles one-way or 662 miles round trip.

    When its all said and done, Bartram Trail will have traveled 1,400 miles in two weeks. Most playoff teams will not even come close to touching that mileage number.

    Think about this. Either Plant, Dr Phillips, Sumner or Durant will be in the STATE SEMI FINALS!!!!!!

    we have sunk to an all time low. Not knocking the teams because it’s not their fault, but these are not the type of teams indicative of the true strength of the state. Their are so many classes that all the good teams are too spread out 

    Disagree here with you NoleBull. It is good to see Plant and Dr. Phillips back to making a run of sorts. Sumner has been building up and Durant... come on now give them some credit.

    Just because a couple of names aren't traditionally the names we usually hear does not mean some of these can't be starting a path of their own, which they should be.

    Things cycle. That is a part of life... and football.

  10. Alright, so over the last 48-plus hours since the brackets were released a lot has changed with game dates and kickoff times being switched up a lot of schools. As such, I have been on top of that here.

    Also I have included direct links to buy tickets for each game that way you don't have to go searching to where buy tickets and live stream links to watch over 50 games on NFHS Network!
