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.

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.

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 !

    • This looks like a legit move to me, not team shopping. 
    • But that's a lot of time & money moving back and forth.  Think about the time it takes to prepare a house to sell it.  Or if it's an apartment, then you have to break the lease and most apartments make you pay in full.  Then the next apartment won't approve you cause you broke a lease. So the REASON for moving is because of work, or just to play on a good team?  
    • I've found I get into fewer arguments when I answer my own questions.  
    • From my perspective, sounds like you answered all your own questions. 
    • I do not know the Knight family, but from what I understand, the move last year from Tampa to the Space Coast was prompted by a job situation with the father (transfer/promotion/new position . . . something like that).  Yes, there was speculation that he might lose his job to the kid who was a freshman last year, but to my knowledge, that had not yet happened.  So, it remains speculation.  Similarly, the move back to the Tampa Bay area also has been prompted by the father's job situation (another transfer/promotion/new position . . . something like that).  Early in my career, I worked with a bunch of bankers and such moves were not unusual in that industry.  I don't know what line of work the father is in, or even if he has been staying with the same company.  But I have known plenty of people who move away from an area (like Tampa Bay) only to decide the grass wasn't really greener elsewhere, and that they miss their friends, family, church, etc., so they return.  Sometimes it would take 4-5 years; sometimes a year.  Anyone on this board who has a son who has played sports would understand this:  if your family had to move, you would look for the best opportunity for your son to succeed at his new school.  You would balance out quality of school, the success/tradition of the particular athletic program your son wants to be involved with, etc.  From an outsider's standpoint, that's how Luke Knight ended up at Merritt Island last year.  Now, for reasons none of us fully know, the family is coming back to the Tampa Bay area.  Did they sell their house a year ago?  Did they buy a new house in Merritt Island?  Or did they keep their Tampa house, rent it out and lease in MI?   Who knows?  I certainly don't.   But, they've made the decision to return to Tampa.  Now it gets interesting.  Do you return to a school where you lead the team to a state championship as a sophomore?  Football aside, would he even be able to return to Jesuit?  I'll go out on a limb and take the position that while Jesuit typically/historically does not allow rising seniors to transfer in, they would have allowed this kid to re-enroll (call it the Pesansky Rule). But now we have to look at from the family's standpoint:  how close was the kid to losing his starting job a year ago?   Regardless, if you're Matt Thompson (Jesuit head coach), you either made the choice to move on to another guy or that choice was made for you.   And that 'other guy' stepped in as a freshman and had success.  And that kid is likely to end up a 4-year starter.  As the head coach, do you want to bring back in the previous starter, bench your rising star (and possibly run the risk of losing him to informal high school transfer portal) or do you stick with stick with the taller, bigger, younger kid who has the potential to break all of Jesuit's career passing records by the time he graduates? I don't know if the dad spoke with Thompson or if they could just see the writing on the wall.  And I think I saw something in the article (before the firewall and/or PDQ ad kept me from reading it all the way through) that indicated the kid would be playing on the same field that he played on in his youth football days.  Nostalgia can be a strong motivating force sometimes.  So, it looks to me like non-football forces brought the family back to the Tampa Bay area and the family did the same thing they did when those non-football forces took them to the Space Coast - they made a school decision that provided their son with the best opportunity to have success.  Just my perspective.
