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

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.

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.

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

      DiLLARD HIGH 2024 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day.    but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided.    and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other.    I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year.    if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater.

      I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

      Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

      There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic
