Any chance that someone not named Armwood goes to state or will it be another central and Armwood snore fest?

 

Armwood is surely favored but Navarre, Palm Bay, Sebastian River, Sebring, Charlotte and Niceville apparently have a lot returning. Vanguard brings back a 4* QB.  Nease, and Tate bring back a 3*QB.  Pine Forest and Fort Myers could see the playoffs.  North Fort Myers may have one of the better RBs in the state.

not one of those teams pulls from a major metropolitan area where Armwood recruits in Hillsborough county (Tampa) without any reprocusions. This is discusting

How so?

I do not know much about that area, but it sounds like from what tampa1 is saying is that Armwood is recruiting in the tampa area.  I am saying when the open enrollment rule goes into effect it may add 2-4 more teams that can compete with Armwood?  Especially, given the fact Armwood has basically been a bully the last few years in that area.

Open enrollment is going change high school sports quite a bit.  I think a lot of the smaller private schools and public schools with historically non-competitive programs are going to have to step it up if they want to keep football going.  If a kid wants to play at the next level or just wants to be part of a winning team and they live close enough to another school that provides that opportunity you can't blame them.  In the past families have had to move to the next county or enroll in private schools but with open enrollment this changes everything.  I think we will see the rich get richer and the possibility of perennial  losers having to drop football. I guess it will all play out.

Sounds like that will help us 😉

Armwood is a team that will still get a lot of top players until someone in the north actually steps up. They basically cakewalk to the state finals, well until central kicks their teeth in, but why leave when Gainesville is basically the biggest "threat" to you in your region, region 2 of 6A lacks real depth so it's Armwood vs whoever region 1 brings to the final 4 and most of region 1 won't touch Armwood in athleticism and talent and depth so they basically not touched on way to state

Yep, I think so. The teams consistently winning 3 or fewer games per year need to address whether it is coaching or lack of talent or whatever and decide if it can or should be fixed.  It takes community support and a good bit of money to be successful in football.  If you can't pay your coaches and assistants and have up to date equipment and facilities the players will be somewhere else.

I hear you ...it is just hard to imagine Armwood is so superior to other teams in the area, because usually Armwood looks like a 6A 2nd or 3rd round team in the South 6A.

They should move Gainesville and Armwood into the 7A north bc then it will make north side of 7A bracket more interesting and keeps us from having anymore Armwood cakewalks to state

Or put mainland in 6A north.

 

Let's face it Hillsborough county's athletic director will advocate for his darlings to have the easiest path of least Resistance

Choctaw lost a few good players, I think they're rebuilding. The open enrollment law may hurt Fort Walton even more since FWB has fallen under and kids who weren't able to bypass the transfer requirement can now transfer freely to Choctaw or Niceville or Baker or even Navarre if they want to make the drive. 

 

Niceville flopped against Tate last year, which was kinda odd. But they lost a few great commits like Eli Stove and Romeo Finley, not sure who is upcoming on the school now. I gotta ask my coworker who goes to Niceville how they look this year.

 

Navarre was supposed to make it to regionals and above, but it came crashing down. Most guys should be returning so I don't know if they'll be undefeated, but they will make a splash.

Choctaw - no

 

Niceville - no

 

Navarre - maybe

From what I normally see Navarre is usually not even best panhandle team so hard for me to see them as a true threat so that probley means no one from panhandle stops Armwood so unfortently probley going to be Armwood vs central for like 100th straight year lol

      Is Sumner on the verge of being a dominant program?

      By Perspective · Posted

      As reported by Josh on this site, Sumner's head football coach, Alonzo Ashwood, was dismissed.  No reason for the dismissal was given, but it certainly wouldn't have been based on the team's on-the-field performance.   I've got a hunch the coach crossed one of those pesky rule lines, perhaps one too many times, and left the principal with little choice.   Again, just speculation on my part.   It'll be interesting to see what repercussions this has for the Stingrays.   Here's a link to Josh's article: http://floridahsfootball.com/2024/05/20/alonzo-ashwood-dismissed-at-sumner-after-four-seasons-per-report/

      spring game scores?

      By Drogo · Posted

      Vero’s offense struggled the entire game, the lone score came on a scoop and score via a fumble. White showed the characteristics of a presumed first year starter. His ability is there no doubt, he’ll just need to settle into the starting role.    West Boca was much more effective- leaning on their 4* running back Javian Mallory, can see them having another good year. They would have probably won the game had it gone a little longer.

      DiLLARD HIGH 2024 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      If all the talk from the head coach about Dillard being bigger and better this year and how last year in his first year was a trial and error for him, it better be an easy dub. Lol

      Spring Game Monarch @ Dillard 5/23/24

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      As For my Dillard panthers , this will be a huge test for us before things crank up for real in the next few months.    right now Dillard will be coming in this game with a lot of questions. Whose gonna be the Starting QB after a lot of controversy in last year playoff lost to ely where the fans and some of the players felt the sophomore back up should have replaced the junior starter after constantly turning the ball over.    the panthers also will be debuting a new OC & a new DC for the 2024 season. Last year while the defense was average to above average. Our offense appeared to be very basic & vanilla with No real offensive schemes to get the playmakers open.    we’ve gotten a few transfers in & promoted a few great players from JV to varsity. & with this being year 2 of Dillards new head coach & being placed in a new district I’m interested to see the adjustments & progressions in this season vs last season.    this has the make to be a very good game if the weather permits for all 4 quarters, but until proven otherwise I’m going to take the knights in this game in a final score of    DILLARD 21 MONARCH 28 what do you guys think of this matchup @nolebull813 @FBGUY1989 @cribboy305

      it’s interesting how times have changed. About 10 years ago on back monarch used to be one of the doormats when it came to football, along side other teams in that area such as coral glades, Coral Springs, taravela to name a few.    but in the last 2 years the knights football program has made some serious strides. In 2022 they finished (9-3) with a 2nd round playoff overtime loss to palm beach gardens.    in 2023- the knights finished (11-3) making it all the way to the state semis where they lost 51-21 to the mandarian mustangs.   this year the knights feel they have the team to go all the way with a huge O-Line & D-Line, 2 3* star receivers both stand at 6’3 & 6’4 respectively. To add to that they also have a dynamic C/O of 2027 Dual Quarterback in Jack Spader who can make plays at a high percentage with his hands or his feet ; which is why the knights are going to have one of the most prolific offenses in the state this year.
