Osceola County is undefeated in the “postseason” this year!!!!

Some bowl games and independent games I wanted to highlight. Nov 8th bowl games St Cloud 45, Lake Region 6 Toho 49, Lake Howell 9 Nov 9th Specially Fit Academy 36, Life Christian,VA 20 Nov 9th West Oaks 60, Saints Academy 0 Sat Nov 11th North Port 19, Labelle 14

Josh just waits until after the games are played, to decide who to pick.

@Nulli Secundus please edit your picks by taking out the 1M and 1S games and replacing them with the 4 other ones that are in bold in the first post.

@Trelle @Joshua Wilson @KeemD321 @Perspective Last 4. Get your picks in by 5 Friday

They would have to beat STA to do that

Maybe. But maybe not!! The 2nd round should bring better matchups. These games might take a back seat. Or not who gives a $h!t

@Nulli Secundus @imjustafan2 @DarterBlue2 apologies for the mistake. I didn’t realize part of our playoffs don’t start until the following week. I was looking at them in bracket form. Not by date. I have put up 4 new games in bold in the first post to take place of the 1S and 1M games that are next week. Please go edit your posts to reflect the new selections. These are the new games Immokalee vs Gulf Coast Palm Harbor U vs Durant Southridge vs Hialeah Estero vs Hardee

Yeah I thinks it’s terrible that the classes are so watered down they can’t even start the playoffs until the following week. This state association is as incompetent as one organization can possibly get.

Wow, are you kidding me? What a low point. Such a disgrace.

Watch this one. This is way different

I just think it’s funny coaches spend 100’s of hours of teaching especially on defense to put a hurting on someone. Clean of course, but still the point of the lesson is to lay them them F out!!!! That’s why everyone celebrates brutally violent hits. Obviously not dirty hits. But if a coach has emotions booked over and he hits a kid on the pads or helmet I don’t see what the big deal is. I seen the hit. I didn’t think it was a fireable offense. I would have at least spoke to the kid and his parents first before making a decision. Not sure if they did that or not. You don’t ever want it to come to that but in this case someone punching a player wearing a helmet is not ideal but also not the end of the world

So you can’t smack someone across the head in frustration, but you can teach him for months and years to take his body and crash it into his opponents body like a heat seeking missile with reckless abandon trying to destroy him? ok

That’s funny. That’s the beauty of football. It allows people who have opposite world viewpoints come together and enjoy the game we all love

“After helping yourself with leftover thanksgiving Turkey Friday morning take a good look outside. Actually go outside. Smell the dew on the grass. Look left, look right. Take a great big breath. Exhale slowly. If playoff football is but a bicycles drive from where you dwell consider yourself lucky. You my friend are in a football hot spot. Do not take it for granted. There are millions of your fellow Floridians that do not have that luxury. They have moved onto other sports. The cleats have been hung up. Jerseys have been turned in. The tears from seniors realizing they will never play another down of football in their life have dried up. All of the lambs have been sacrificed. This is when the season actually starts. Enjoy it while you can”

Not all transfers are the same. A four star transferring for his senior year is not the same as a sophomore zero star transferring. It would appear that areas with real talent are being punished because the players are better. Because if 5 guys who aren’t rated transfer to a team and the team goes 4-6 no one bats an eye. But if 5 Division 1 guys transfer and they compete for state then it’s a problem.

Georgia has the multiplier rule in regards to kids that come from out of the boundary. Private schools get an enrollment multiplier, as well as public’s who have out of zone students.

Coach Rolle at MNW had one of the best halftime speeches ever. It was so good, It would get you banned from this message board for repeating it

So the system we are stuck with puts an embarrassing amount of bad teams in the playoffs. It’s disgusting and needs to change. So the first 2 rounds are used to do what the FHSAA should be doing which is weed out the bad ones from the good ones. So after the 2nd round, once all the teams that shouldn’t have qualified are gone, look around. How much football do you see still being played around you? If it’s little to none, then you most likely are in an area that doesn’t have quality football to begin with. And that’s ok. The point of the exercise is to observe this and understand it.

I’m on the side of tough love. The context is everything

@Beek This could be the Lord telling you that all you did at Poinciana is done, and your ministry and leadership is needed elsewhere. I have no doubt in my mind you will land on your feet somewhere that will greatly benefit from having you. Keep your head clear and make sure to stick with the high road because you don’t want anything coming back to bite you when emotions are at an all time high. Good luck with everything coach.

Florida went 38-45 this year in OOS games. A lot of bad FL teams participated, but there was some really good ones too. Out of the 45 losses, 16 didn’t make the playoffs, while 29 did. Two couldn’t make it being that they are independent. on the flip side, out of the 38 teams FL beat, 14 missed the playoffs, but 5 of the occurrences were against independent teams. Of the 24 teams who made the playoffs, 17 teams are entering the 1st round this week, while 7 teams have advanced to the 2nd round.
