Floridaatlantic1 Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 This is not that hard to understand. Fact 1- I know there are awesome amazing teams in Suburban. Some win state now like Venice and Madison. Osceola and Lakeland can play with anyone in the state or country not named IMG. In fact, these state powers will dominate the suburban championships year after year leading to the same suburb and metro champs every year. Fact 2- The main people who pushed for the metro suburban split said that the suburban schools ( not the ones listed above but the others cannot compete with Metro area because of ease of recruiting and the super privates in the cities. They used the 88% of state titles won by metro areas as the evidence that they cannot compete with metro and should be granted the split. This proves that the Metro divisions and side of the state football championship are the A team and the suburban is the B level. Even though some of their state champs could be a metro team, the suburb divisions are the minor leagues . Fact 3- No one who created this plan cared about any school in metro areas at all and did not even address the affect on the non super powers in those counties . these are all facts and I dont know why the suburb school people are so upset on here. You teams did not get screwed like the metro ones and you got your own little B league titles. It will be alot easier for you win you Bronze division title like club volleyball tournaments. The metro divisions are the Gold division ones. . gatorman-uf and JaxFootballGuy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee I wonder why You also refuse to say who your team is My guess is it's someone like Dillard who thinks STA is stealing all your players when your the ones out recruiting DFB kids since December and took more of their kids than STA and Cardinal Gibbons have combined and you don't want me to show your a liar when you claimed your school not out recruiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm wrong because all the big bad privates are cheating and schools like Riverside, Dillard, Miami Central, Miami Northwestern, Miami Killian, DFB, Sandalwood, Cocoa, Lakeland, etc never get any transfers or recruit Sureeeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisabledAccount Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 It's not like there was a thread on this board showing this Oh wait there was but I'm betting nobody bothered to actually tally up the transfers to publics and privates in that thread to see it was the publics out doing the most recruiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbird Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Duval - Who in this county are you scared of other than LEE your Daddy. This county other than private schools usually underperforms. Orange Another average county in terms of being elite. Good football not great. Apopka the best team and they get zero transfers Seminole Seminole HS lately but no one else has a title Hillsborough Armwood and Plant run is over. Average County Pinellas Terrible football Palm Beach Broward Miami-Dade So lets just say South Florida and the private schools dominate.

They are suburban. Lots of suburban schools can get transfers. This has nothing to do with being Metro. How many public Metro schools not in Miami have state titles lately? I bet the Suburban compared to them is very close. The issue is Miami and a hand full of private schools. Oh well I hope you enjoy your watered down B league.

We punished 5 counties for about 5 schools Jones gets transfers in orange county and I ain't scared of that wannabe powerhouse in Riverside, I dare them to play Columbia this year but they won't because they only play teams when they think they can win or when they get stuck in our district In Hillsborough I'm betting schools like gaither and TBT have gotten transfers but Hillsborough county is as bad as Duval county with the media tracking it so I normally can't get clear numbers on that county to chart it In Duval sandalwood and Riverside has gotten plenty of transfers as late but their coaching keeps them from ever doing anything with it, now Ed White getting a lot of kids but it's probably gonna end up same result because the coaching in Duval county is average at best outside of a few schools Just because teams waste the talent doesn't mean it's not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridaatlantic1 Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 You hit the nail right on the head badbird. South Floirda and the privates there win almost all the titles and the other 5 cities get to scrunch 8 divisions into 4 so they can have they bronze level championships. Funny part is they complain that the same teams win state every year. wait till you see the same thing in the suburban divisions as well. Who is beating cocoa ever .

Polk and Brevard county should have been considered metro especially if they called Seminole county metro but they probably knew including those counties would cause it to not pass in the final vote because that board is full of people looking to game the system for their local schools KeemD321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't tell me how great it is because those teams suck. What are they supposed to do? Do the same broken as shit system that has worked so well the past 20 years? Yeah because student enrollment totally means anything when a school can get 30 transfers and not even move classifications Real brilliant idea They need to move as far away from the old system as possible and quickly, they can always improve it later but too much change at once will scare the conservative mindset of those boards who vote on this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should do something where after a certain number of transfers (they could even set peramders depending on the size of the county for how much it takes before they get moved) they get thrown into an open division classification similar to how all the top teams in CA end up together most of the time But it's not just privates which is what I keep trying to get across to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Icaza Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 52 minutes ago, ColumbiaHighFan2017class said: I get that but my point was more because that poster is basically saying that the only real teams are the metros so because they beat a "suburban" Osceola and not Miami Dade Columbus their championship is devalued by the posters own logic Is there some teams in suburban that are Afraid to play good teams? Yes There are also metro teams who are afraid of playing tough teams But to say the suburban teams are a minor league like varsity to JV is disrespectful to the programs in these suburban classes who for YEARS have stepped up to face good metro teams This change was needed but it doesn't mean the entire state was scared but what are we supposed to do? Sit back and continue to let the blowouts in the finals continue forever because nothing was ever going to change and the state knew this "The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results" Understood and agree that the FHSAA is at least trying something different over the next couple of years to see if any improvement happens. Also agree as you rightfully have pointed out that they prefer doing it in small increments rather that a massive change where tweaking can be done as we go. The metro poster you are responding to is obviously affiliated with a school that perpetually hasn't experience much success and obviously this change doesn't help them. He makes illogical arguments like labeling "ALL" good programs as cheaters which is insulting, idiotic and hateful while looking for a solution that will just improve his teams chances of winning games. Useless to engage him in any kind of meaningful discussion. KeemD321 and DisabledAccount 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
