I don’t rank IMG and CAI just because neither team is a Florida high school team in the very sense of the definition. IMG has a majority of OOS players and CAI has a majority of Canadian and European players. They just play in Florida. If I was ranking them, I would have IMG 4th, and CAI 10th respectively

I know its just a crap shoot in the preseason. Some teams are placed on elite level of play in recent years. Some placed on hype. And some placed on the infusion of transfers. Obviously things will shake up right out of the gate.

Bartow up to their old senanigans again. They do that once every decade when they have a pretty good team
Fights, alumni refs, drunk fans cussing and trying to intimidate opposing fans.
Let's see what happens when they have to play on the road. 

let go of ya nuts, its all good. one thing bout them bulls we always bounce back & its good to get hit in da mouth first that way only way is up.

CAI 35-33
Chaminade 37-12

Thanks Doctor D. You always know just what to say! 

The new FHSAA Bylaws resulting from HB 225 now allow a school to be a member "by sport", as opposed to "full membership".  So a school can be a member of another organization (SSAA) for certain sports, and compete in the FHSAA in other sports, at their choosing.  

Pahokee and Glades Central..... They are only 10 miles apart and would have a population of around 1700 students.

Nolebull, I try to be as transparent (wow, I just realized that's a pretty interesting word in light of some of the issues we've been reading about . . . ) as possible with my sources.   In this case, I saw an article on Yahoo that came from Insider.  I have absolutely no idea in the world which side of the ideology spectrum Insider is on.  As for Yahoo, they link articles and videos from CNN and FOX on a regular basis, so they seem to be fairly neutral.   But, unless the article was wrong, Orange County School Board was already being proactive and requiring parents to fill out a form if their child could/wanted to be called by a name other than their given legal name.  But, neither the article nor the link to the Orange County action mentioned anything at all about athletics and/or coaches.  So, I just wanted to put the issue out there to see if and how it might impact high school coaches. 
All that said, the most interesting thing that I learned from your post is that the football team is using an app called "BAND" to communicate.   I guess that's a better name than "DramaClub." 

Just for that. MNW in a laugher

Sounds like Poinciana should build a dome stadium. UCF and USF can play a neutral site game there 

When we beat them no excuses we'll beat Plant too

I will tell you this, they get a slew of kids to the next level so if you play them chances are it is going to be in front of a decent amount of college scouts. 
 
That’s what I told the teams in Pasco. You gotta go and find some quality opponents in Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando. Because you’re doing your kids a disservice by not getting them any exposure at all. If a college scout is coming to the Tampa area, they aren’t wasting their time. They are gonna go where the most talent is. So you gotta schedule the teams with the most studs so they come see your players too. 
 
Lance McCullers was a pitcher at Jesuit, who plays for the Houston Astros, and I remember going to one of his high school games. When he pitched about 30 guys behind home plate had radar guns to test the pitch speed. Whenever the opponent pitched, they did the same thing. The opponent got free exposure to all the college scouts because they were all there for McClullers but got to stay for him. 

If Vero beats Northwestern they will be………….

There’s a huge difference. All of their players are coming from Canada and Europe with the exception of a very few. Their whole operation is based on international players. Hence Clearwater Academy International. 
 
A lot of players who come down are physically gifted but still raw to the game of American football because they haven’t been exposed to it at the same level kids here have. I highly doubt the little league football programs in Canada, Germany and Italy are operating like they do here if they even have them. 
 
This team doesn’t hide who they are. They operate this way, and the coaches and AD’s who feel comfortable schedule them do, and the ones who don’t, don’t.

This is to stop all the transgender nonsense. No fake names. And an old school coach won’t have any problem with this. And a new school coach who is concerned can literally ask the question one time and get all the parents permission in one day. There is an app called BAND that allows the coach to communicate with the parents and players all at once. It’s where we get all the info every step of the way. (My middle son is entering high school and plays JV)
So he can can simply ask with one question for every parent to consent if they choose to allow nicknames. It would be easy as ever. 
 
also, the publications bringing this up are on the opposite end of the ideology spectrum as our governor so I highly doubt they are giving you the info in an unbiased and objective way. You might have to peel the onion back alot more to formulate a credible opinion

Clearwater Academy has a formula of allowing kids from mainly Canada and in part Europe to come board and play American football. Coach Chinchar started a few years back as an 8 man team, and has grown into a quality football program who is pumping kids to the next level and beyond. And they might not have had that opportunity if not for CAI. They don’t compete in the FHSAA so they don’t have the same restrictions. Teams know exactly what they are getting when they play them. They are not IMG in terms of level of play. Lakeland beat them by 35 two years ago. 
 
I have met their head coach numerous times in person and have corresponded with him for years over text and email. He’s a good dude and does right by his players 

Hey I always have likable posts!!!
