I played baseball vs Pensacola Christian and football vs Apalachicola.  Also left off Century from the panhandle.

3 stories from my life vs these three teams.

 

Football - we were getting on the bus to go play Apalachicola who believe it or not was ranked #1 in the state and we were 1-5 at the time.  The Principal came on the bus and said I just want you guys to have fun and not get embarrassed.  Well we went to Apalachicola and upset them.  The coach at Apalachicola at the time was Coach Shaw Maddux.  I would later in life coach with him at Osceola. 

 

Baseball - we were playing Panama City Christian.   They had no fence and the school was in deep left field.  I hit a ball probably the farthest I've ever hit one.  I admired it forgetting they had no fence.  It one hopped the school.  I got thrown out at third.  The coach was not happy with me. 

 

I have one about Century as well.  My dad was the head coach in football in the early to mid 1980's and Century was a big rival.  After a close heated game that Century lost some guys out of the stands came onto the field and started a huge brawl between the teams.  Fans got involved and It got real ugly.  One of the worst brawls I've ever seen.  Now I was young at the time but there were lots of people left bloody after it.  Also lost my last high school baseball game at Century.  I think it was Buck Showalter (former MLB player and manager) field maybe not but he went to Century.

My junior year we got into a fight with Ernest Ward in football.  Now a days everyone would be suspended for 6 games.  No one was ejected lol.  The game had a few minutes left and they just ended the game.

Did any of the leather helmets get damaged? Obviously there were no face masks then, so did each team try to gouge the other teams player's faces?

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
