I think the biggest misconception is people think just because kids transfer to a school there has to be recruiting involved and that’s not always the case. In the high concentrated areas like Dade and Broward it’s easy to transfer because there are so many schools in a small area plus all the kids know who the hot hand is. Miami Central doesn’t need to recruit some kid who is good on a bad team. The kid already knows who Miami Central/MNW/BookerT etc is.

Yeah. The crazy thing is coaches in Georgia are accusing them of recruiting. You might see something come out at some point before the season and you’ll remember ole Nolebull was the first on top of it. Lol.

Haha no you don’t go from laughing stock homecoming team who doesn’t know how to play football at the varsity level losing to 1-win teams to beating state champions, dominating all the best teams around you and marching to the state title with ease almost winning it in one year. That does not happen. Tift County GA won 3 games in 2 years in (2022-23). They went 3-17. And 2 of those 3 wins were against Gadsden County!!! Fast forward to 2024, Tift County is the same exact team, going 2-8, this time instead of beating Gadsden like they normally do, Gadsden blows the doors off them 45-7. You don’t change that dramatically in one season organically. It seems as if you choosing to ignore it because they are a rural public. SMH.

Not sure. It’s not about them getting transfers. It’s the accusation of recruiting. You can’t compare a bunch of kids in a high concentrated metropolis going to a school they know has what they want in terms of coaching, championship opportunities and getting more looks for colleges with other schools who are having coaches and runners contact kids from other teams to entice them to come to your team. 2 completely different things

Gadsden County heading to play at East St Louis, a midwestern powerhouse. Gadsden Co better tread lightly this offseason because teams up in the Tally area are snitching about them recruiting. Wouldn’t be surprised if something comes out on them soon. I mean you don’t go from laughing stock homecoming opponent to championship level power in one season without some funny business going on

West Boca using the success from this past year to dip their toe into the out of state circuit. They are hosting Bergen Catholic the 4 time defending state champ for week 3 apart of the Adodas Football Classic.

Please post them if you run across any. The state doesn’t provide any info of any kind in regards to schedules, and we don’t know who people are playing until you show up at the game. Lol. Here’s Beachside https://x.com/Beachside_FB/status/1882927671082140014?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1882927671082140014|twgr^909a540f61bbe7c2cd147032aaf6728fb4ab12d7|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fhigh-school%2Fflorida%2Fflorida-high-school-football-beachside-announces-2025-schedule-01jjhca0zn4t&mx=2

I said so you’re telling me some scumbags from 6 hours away steal all your money that you badly need to help your athletic department stay afloat and give the kids in your area who don’t have much to begin with a normal athletic experience? He said yes sir. Lol. These athletic associations are like foreign dictators.

Yeah it’s crazy. I was a 1A Virginia High School playoff game and they had no track, and beat up grass and outdated bleachers. It’s in the middle of nowhere and there isn’t a lot of money. The team normally isn’t good for 1A Virginia standards but this year was magical and they made it all the way to the state semi finals. They got to host all 3 playoff games. I was at the semi finals and I was talking to a police officer and I said all this money from the playoff gates should help alot for any upgrades you need. He said the state takes EVERY SINGLE PENNY from the gate!!!! He said all they get is the concession money. Thats pure evil if you ask me.

The fake rural tournament was an embarrassment. This is getting out of hand so bad I wish the FHSAA would just fold and someone starts a new association with ambitions to make the competition fierce and the envy of the country. 5 classes of bad ass playoff gauntlets, and the rest of the teams who can’t keep up can go independent or to the SSAA and the like.

Orlando had an independent conference as well. Windermere University Colonial East River Cypress Creek Lake Buena Vista Oak Ridge Innovation This was the Orlando Independent Conference

Heartland Champ vs GMSC champ I like it

The most realistic area would be Miami-Dade because they already have it. They have an independent conference. Most of the schools are over 2,000 I believe but they are not football schools. 10 teams (Greater Miami South Conference) Coral Reef Mourning Hialeah Gardens Reagan Sunset Ferguson Varela Braddock HML Coral Park

North and South. (North Bracket) Fort Meade Frostproof Discovery Mulberry Lake Region Hardee Desoto (South Bracket) Moore Haven Lake Placid Avon Park Clewiston Lemon Bay Labelle Okeechobee You play the other 6 teams in your bracket, and 4 teams from the other bracket. The following year you play the other 3 plus one of the others you played in the first year and that would rotate every cycle.

I got 14 teams and their enrollment. The numbers could be a little off but not by much Moore Haven 311 Fort Meade 419 Frostproof 617 Lake Placid 807 Discovery 811 Avon Park 925 Clewiston 981 Desoto 1263 Hardee 1339 Lemon Bay 1350 Mulberry 1402 Labelle 1421 Lake Region 1553 Okeechobee 1745

I like the idea. If you get 12-20 or so teams and play a championship, I think the winner would feel validated. Heck the rural class has 34 teams and they crown a champion. If the Heartland can get somewhere close to that it would seem like a legit championship

In the 70’s they left the SWC and joined the Coral Coast Conference Point is they have been apart of a conference for decades. This Heartland Conference is nothing new, and is actually a throwback to all these decades ago.

1954-1969 Hardee was in the “Southwest Florida Conference” 8 teams Plant City Bartow Desoto Hardee Lake Wales Haines City Winter Haven Pasco Auburndale Kathleen There is more than 8 because teams came and gone over the years

Back in the day before playoffs mainly, there was nothing but conferences throughout the state. in 1952 and 1953 Hardee was part of the 11 team “South Florida Conference” it was….. Hardee Desoto Jesuit Manatee Tarpon Springs Winter Haven Clearwater Plant City Sarasota Fort Myers Bartow

I like the idea. With 500 plus teams it would be easy to come up with it. Right now the SSAA has an embarrassment of a playoff bracket. It’s so bad that I would like the adults who came up with the travesty to explain it to me with a straight face. In 2023 they had 10 brackets with one being 3 total teams. An 0-8 team got a bye and. 2-7 team beat a 1-8 team for the right to play the 0-8 team in the “championship” That is disgusting. I’m glad the SSAA is taking as many teams as possible who have no business competing for a real title, but they are making a mockery of the sport. I do like your idea though.

Steve Howard leaves Ida Baker to be the HC at East Lee County Ida Baker hires Cullen O Brien to replace him

Andy Siegel is at North Bay Haven
