For everyone unaware... the annual Spring Game list can be found here: https://floridahsfootball.com/2019/04/10/2019-spring-football-games-jamborees-list/ There are a ton of great games list along with a few big jamborees. Discuss away!

St. Thomas Aquinas is subject to random audits until June 30, 2021... so yes they likely would have to show proof. I will have to look up the state statute itself to hopefully give better clarity of who gets the money. Again all of this stuff is state law, not FHSAA's own rules.

To clarify a few things... yes someone did turn in STA... what the FHSAA does is this when that happens... they present the allegation to the school and at that moment they are given one of two options... either they recognize the violation of the allegation which allows them to self-report at that time or they can deny it. Denying it can actually be even more costly for a school if it is proven that a violation has been committed. Yes it is confusing someone turns them in and a self-report happens, but the FHSAA is trying to allow the schools to be forthcoming before going down the avenue of really throwing the book at anyone.

This is a good question. I don't think the FHSAA gets the money. I believe the school district or in this case the Archdiocese over St. Thomas Aquinas gets to keep the money and put it to use.

SportsNut beat me to post my own tweet... the rumors were, in fact, true on this.

Here is the big news of the day! Share your thoughts on this news.

UPDATE The 2019 Coaches Moving Van is updated as of yesterday, but I do have changes to insert for Clewiston and Cypress Creek (Orlando) soon. I have also added a section for new articles on coaching news going forward on the same page (some new functions I am finally using with the revamps I have been making). https://floridahsfootball.com/coaching/2019-coaches-moving-van/ McKinley Rolle named next head coach at Dwyer: https://floridahsfootball.com/2019/03/29/mckinley-rolle-named-the-next-head-coach-at-dwyer/ Billy Clark steps down at Palm Beach Gardens to pursue educational administrative role: https://floridahsfootball.com/2019/03/29/billy-clark-steps-down-at-palm-beach-gardens-to-pursue-educational-administrative-role/ COACHES MOVING VAN NOTEBOOK: Nease hires Collin Drafts: Yeomans stepping down at Franklin County: https://floridahsfootball.com/2019/03/29/coaches-moving-van-notebook-nease-hires-collin-drafts-yeomans-stepping-down-at-franklin-county/

Which Cypress Creek was this for? Orlando or Wesley Chapel. Going to have to be clearer in the future as some of the new schools are taking names already used... making things even more fun.

LOL! Well, I was thinking more in the lines of beyond just the message board.

All-State Football teams are rolling out this week (sorry everyone, this is why I have been sorta MIA on here...these things take some serious time and dedication). All-Florida - Large Schools (Friday) All-Florida - Small Schools (Friday) Class 8A (Thursday) Class 7A (Thursday) Class 6A (Wednesday) Class 5A (Wednesday) Class 4A (Tuesday) Class 3A (Tuesday) Class 2A Class 1A

I have been slammed with All-State... one of me and thousands of you all.

It was not sneaky. It was put through the committees and I was at each of these meetings and discussed at length.

That requires a change in the policies and that is a two-year process. My understanding is that football will likely go to 7 classes starting in 2021. However, looking at the regions we got now, it will be tougher for a bad Rutheford team to make the playoffs in 4A-Region 1 with Bolles now back in Class 4A for example. Same goes with Region 1 in Class 3A with Trinity Christian back in that classification. It is going to balance out. Also, the other problem we had is that we had not had a full reclassification in four years until just now, so now with teams in their proper classification that will also help as well.

Everyone, I have the numbers sitting here, just have to type it out over the next day or so, but it will give you all an idea of what things would have looked like. Situations you all mentioned would have never happens under this and the right teams would have been in as well as the teams that should have been in that didn’t make it. RPI is used in many other states (Iowa, Colorado, Washington [Basketball for now] .... just to name a few). The system make sense. Grant it there is a lot of math here but at the end of the day no 8-2 team will be sitting at home under this formula (Chamberlain, Sanford Seminole). The FHSAA has moved into the 21st Century here and it is going to show this season just how nicely it will work.

The RPI for football with the FHSAA is now official, starting this fall. RPI formula is as the following: Team Winning Percentage: 35% Opponents Winning Percentage: 35% Opponents' Opponents Winning Percentage: 30% RPI Formula RPI=WP%*0.35+OWP*0.35+OPWP%*0.30

I didn't make fun of you... I was talking about being excited about that schedule! HUGE DIFFERENCE!

This is going to be a great game right here folks... Week 5 -- September 20 in Valdosta

Gosh not the entire schedule, but this is getting me giddy about the 2019 season already and it is just Day 4 of the New Year... OH MY!!!!

All went independent except Hollywood Hills which likely will be a 6A or 7A team.

And that they are doing!

Here are all the game stories from yesterday that I wrote...

Here are recaps from the two games yesterday:
