As requested, I have pinned this thread. Got a couple of more changes coming to report of in a moment.

Probably after the regional finals this week once we know which teams are left in the final four. Usually look at the matchups that could draw well vs. those that might not.

My new goal this year... to have information that is worth reading for you all with the Coaches Moving Van.

Appreciate that! Must have went up late this afternoon as I was getting ready for the Buchholz/Ponte Vedra game.

Want to thank @gatorman-uf for the thread he initially started. Going forward for this off-season this will be the official thread in updating when updates are made to the THE ORIGINAL 2024 COACHES MOVING VAN! So far you can find that there are 19 coaching changes with insightful information here: https://floridahsfootball.com/2023/11/17/the-2024-original-florida-coaches-moving-van-keeping-track-of-floridas-high-school-football-coaching-changes/ Also included with the insight info is the number of changes, percentage of schools with changes so far, and coaching records and tenure for each position. Feel free to add replies and more to this as we move along here!

I caught your drift there... LOL

Something I knew for a while, but was told to keep quiet on is official now! Bally Sports Florida (previously known as FOX Sports Florida) will air state championship football games again. MORE: https://floridahsfootball.com/2023/11/16/bally-sports-florida-to-air-all-nine-fhsaa-football-state-championship-games/

Here is all the regional semifinal pairings along with links to purchase games for any playoff game in the state along with links to watch dozens of games live on NFHS Network. https://floridahsfootball.com/2023/11/15/fhsaa-regional-semifinal-playoff-pairings-in-the-2023-state-series/ You can also check things out on the Playoff Central page here: https://floridahsfootball.com/playoffs/ PLAYOFF BRACKET LINKS: 4M 3M 2M 1M 4S 3S 2S 1S 1R

And that wouldn't have solved any issues. As @Perspective said, it is just a really big region.

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.

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.

Nipping this thread for now... will have The Original Coaches Moving Van going next week and will have an official going forward. Thank you all for understanding!

I will just drop these here... no questions asked... MIC DROP! LOL @nolebull813

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!

HEY ENOUGH... ALL OF YOU! Why are you all trashing the SSAA for providing the schools that want an alternative to the FHSAA state series? A lot of those programs are thankful they don't have to go up against the powerhouse teams where they would stand no chance on a weekly basis.

The latest Florida Top 25, Classification & SSAA rankings are out! You can check them out here: https://floridahsfootball.com/2023/10/24/joshua-wilsons-fhsf-florida-top-25-classification-rankings-week-10/

The SSAA has released their playoff brackets with the playoffs starting here in Week 10. More info and brackets here: https://floridahsfootball.com/2023/10/21/ssaa-releases-2023-playoff-brackets-heading-into-postseason/

So just briefly... Buchholz and Bartram Trail is usually a great matchup any time these two teams hit the field together. Last night... Buchholz is showing flashes they could win Class 4S this year... Bartram Trail I think still makes the playoffs, but they got a lot of work to do after the 44-7 thumping last night. Oh and Doug Johnson's kid (yes that Doug Johnson of Florida Gators great)... Trace Johnson is a heck of a quarterback with now 8 starts under his belt as a sophomore. Worth watching him over the next few years. Going to be a top prospect not just in Florida, but nationally.

I second that message!
