OSCEOLA-EDGEWATER


Ray Icaza

Recommended Posts

Turned out to be an extremely even matchup with talent on both sides.  The Edgewater QB is the returning starter from last year and gave them a spark running the ball which I don't think we expected.  He has a good arm and talented receivers, but not a lot of time to throw and operating against an extremely talented OHS secondary so sledding was tough for them thru the air.  They had some success on the ground working the edges as one of our 4* DE was held out with an injury.  They have a couple excellent backs to compliment CJ Baxter, so found more productivity on the ground than I thought they would.  Our LB core have not jelled yet, but should be better prepared after competing with talent like Edgewater has.  On offense we had mixed success on the ground and relied on our inexperienced sophomore QB to make plays with his arm, which he did an excellent job throughout the game.   Trailing 22-19 with under 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter, he engineered an 80 yard drive and hit about a 35 yard pass with 40 seconds remaining to re-take the lead 26-22.  They were unable to muster any offense in the final 40 seconds and the clock ran out with us in the lead.  Penalties weren't a major factor for either team and ball security was perfect by both sides with neither team losing a fumble or a pick, although we probably should have gotten a couple of interceptions.  Looking at each team's roster, both will be a handful for anyone.  Great game for the fans with Osceola leading early, then falling behind and then retaking the lead.   As always, it is just a Spring Game and the way it was conducted both coaches probably got out of it what they wanted.  Good luck to Edgewater going forward.  GO KOWBOYS!!

If Edgewater had dominated, it would have made headlines in the Orlando Sentinel.  With Kowboys winning, not so much.:D

My apologies to Sentinel staff as this game wasn't covered in the morning news. Only the Deland piece featuring Coach Darlington playing several different schools and also Seminole playing several schools.  However, they did finally come around in the afternoon digital edition and covered our game which was obviously the marquee game for that night.

how much was JV time?  2 or 3 touchdowns worth from what I was told.....

 

First quarter was combination of JV and the 2's which ended 7-0, so you were obviously told wrong.  The other 3 quarters were the Varsity and 1's with each team scoring 3 TD's.  Hence my description of an evenly fought game.

    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
