Bring back these rivalries

[Corey_Davis]

With the new playoff format being discussed and teams allowed to schedule any 10 games, what are some old rivalries you want to see come back that might be on hiatus for various reasons.

 

Here in Jax, a few that come to mind

 

Bolles vs Trinity

Bolles vs UC

Bolles vs Bishop Kenny

Bishop Kenny vs Episcopal

Ed White vs Lee

Ed White vs Westside

Lee vs Paxon

Orange Park vs Westside

Oakleaf vs Middleburg

Baker County vs Columbia

Orange Park vs Columbia

Clay vs Keystone Heights

The only real reason Columbia stopped those games was either other team not wanting it or bc of wanting to play up in classes, but if baker or orange park will get major competitive like round 3 or 4 then I can see it happening, I remember when it was Danny green coaching his last few years at orange park and we won the last 2 meetings that he faced us in his coaching career

Columbia and Raines and ribault was good one or potentially Columbia vs ed white or st Augustine but one that I might like is Columbia vs mainland

[DisabledAccount]

Columbia vs Valdosta is one I defently hope will be back soon 😉

[tampa1]

Lounds. Is better than valdosta

Do

[Corey_Davis]

Valdosta and Columbia use to be a annual mark your calendar battle every year though.

[DisabledAccount]

@Tampa if it was bout talent level we would put colquit but I mention Valdosta for rivalry reasons

yeah most defently, it would be awesome to bring that game back

[tampa1]

If it is about rivalry you should play Riboult, no?

[DisabledAccount]

Been a while since we played them but we have no history with colquit but we do with Valdosta which was main reason for me saying Valdosta insted of colquit

[tampa1]

who Ribault?

[DisabledAccount]

Yeah it been a while. I think in 80s last time we played

[tampa1]

who do you play out of Duval?

Bolls?

[DisabledAccount]

We have a history with Bolles Raines and ribault but Bolles is only active one we play currently of those 3

[Hwy17]

I hope the new coach at Hardee will have the balls to put Palmetto back on the schedule.

Lakeland/Manatee

 

Could be one of the biggest regular season games in the state, if they would put it on the schedule. A lot of history there.

[DisabledAccount]

I would like for us to schedule a series with lakeland, we played twice back in the day like 80 so years ago, would be neat to do it again

 

And manatee would be a cool team to add to our resume by playing

[gwdrum75]

In Lakeland's case, I think it is a county (i.e. $$$$) issue. I really wish they would go out and play some of better competition. Games against teams like George Jenkins and Haines City are ok for local bragging rights, but they do not do anything to prepare you for your ultimate goal....a state championship. I'm glad they at least have a team like Carol City on the schedule again this year. That will be a good test.

[Captain Morgan]

Lakeland used to go test itself back in the hey day. Now it seems they are more about getting regular season wins then really testing themselves. But maybe they realize that they aren't an elite top tier team anymore and it just isn't worth it. Either way I could understand. I mean if you know you are a 2nd or 3rd round team I would rather go 11-1 then 8-4. I see it both ways.

[gwdrum75]

Viera is the perfect example from last year. Played a ridiculous schedule and ended up 6-4. But that gave them the tests they needed to get through the playoffs to the Championship game (and get trounced by STA).

They losing their beat player but I still kinda hope we get another shot at them

Some of the old Big 10 teams should play. I'm shocked Hillsborough and St Pete don't play. That is an ancient rivalry dating back to the teens.

 

Plant, Lakeland, Clearwater, Edison, St Pete, Jefferson, Mia Jackson, REL, Plant City, Gainesville, Fort Myers and Jax Jackson all called the Big 10 home at some point.

 

Imagine how awesome it would be to have like a 4 game super event with these 8 teams that still are surviving members.

 

Plant vs Lakeland

 

Gainesville vs Fort Myers

 

Hillsborough vs St Pete

 

Miami Jackson vs Jacksonville Jackson

 

Etc

[DisabledAccount]

Now that is interesting, have Miami Jackson and Jacksonville Jackson played that often?

[nolebull813]

Not sure, but I can't see why some of these teams close to each other don't play.

 

Plant and Hillsborough still play. I bet Edison and Miami play.

 

Jax Jackson and Robert E Lee are big rivals as well.

 

Not sure who else still plays

[DisabledAccount]

I thought plant and Lakeland did play yearly?
