So now we have many three team districts which favors those schools tremendously. They only have to win two game to win district. Then they have a better chance at playoffs because they don’t have guaranteed losses by teams that don’t have to play each other.   Dumb system that marginalizes half the state programs

So they miss a team completely.  Typical FHSAA move.  They would fu** up a wet dream.

I wonder who else got missed?

How many teams will still cry and try and change to an easier district based on travel :blink:

Well before this even came out Poinciana told the Orlando Sentinel they were going Independent again.

They missed Sebastian River and it appears that the commitment form was never filled out.

I would guess Sebastian River will go independent, if you’re going by school size, they would be in the same district as Treasure Coast, Fort Pierce Central, Centennial, Martin County and Vero Beach. Sebastian make it clear last season they do not intend on playing Vero again despite their intra county rivalry.

If they are going independent put them on the independent list.  So now we are up to 3 schools they left off.  Sebastian and Liberty.  Why put out a list that doesn't include every team?  Don't you think it's important to get it right the first time?  How hard is it to double check the list and make sure you have all the schools and if the schools didn't fill it out send an email or make a call.  They missed teams last time they did this also.  I know Lake Minneola wasn't on the list last time.  It just shows complete lack of organization.  Don't rush out a half assed list.

Probably my favorite district.  
1M-6

-Chaminade    
-St. John Paul 0-8 last year   
-Somerset Key who folded the program last 2 years because not enough guys       
-Avant Garde: trying to recruit, but come on.     
-Westminster Academy who just came back from independent a few years ago because of promise of no districts.

Going to be a real grind for Chaminade. None of those games will be within 40. IF Somerset fields a team, that is the type of game kids get hurt in.

Chaminade-madonna will win automatically.  No games played.  50 at the half if they are.

Poor Dunedin got put into a district with Berkley Prep, Calvary Christian and Clearwater.  They are one year removed from rebooting their program while independent and now have to deal with two private schools and Clearwater?  Jesus.

Only team I can see who would have a legit gripe on travel is probably key west but the problem is there is no easy answer for where to put them 

 

Everyone else isn't in any worse a spot that what Columbia, St Augustine and Lincoln had when they shared a district in late 90s (for reference it's over 3 1/2-4 hours between St Augustine and Lincoln) so these teams get me with the travel complaint crap 

I don't see why they don't switch Columbia and Clay. Clay is a lot closer to the teams in Columbia's district.

It would also mean we would pass every one of those schools in our current district on our way to playing St Augustine

We have weeks 1,2,6,9,10,11

open.

I wish we could play y’all again! Lol we need our rematch because it was a great game 

We need a week 11. I’ll tell Peacock about Trinity as soon as I can and we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. That 2019 game is one I don’t think I’ll forget as long as I live! The offensive coordinators loved it, but I think the defensive coordinators were scratching their heads a few times! Lol

I would be really cussing up a storm if we didn't have the power rankings for playoffs to help sort that out. I can live with this knowing the power rankings can help this scenario. 

Unless they haven't changed the district winner a guaranteed 1-4 seeding you should still be cussing. Hypothetically a 1-9 ( 1-1 with district tie break rules) team could be a #4 regional seed. Three team districts are a clown show and an embarrassment highlighting the ineptitude of the FHSAA !

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
