Saw you guys had a nice win over Lake Gibson in your Spring Game.  What is your take if you watched the game for the APK upcoming season?

I did not go to the game. But I hear that Apopka ran the ball 90% on offense though they have not abandoned using some spread formations. I know we were up 14-0 well into the fourth when Lake Gibson scored to cut the lead to a score. But Apopka sealed the deal on the next possession.

Apopka is young, particularly on defense. But there is adequate talent. Despite a tough district, the playoff appearance streak should remain intact. How far the Darters go, I don't know at this stage. Some young teams improve as the season progresses, and some don't. To have a shot at going deep, Apopka will have to make significant improvement over the course of the season.

Major step down in caliber of opposition this year as compared to the last several years in my opinion-  Fort Pierce Central, Centennial, Martin County and Treasure Coast are the district games…

A good schedule, no doubt. I think the Fighting Indians could go undefeated, but Miami Palmetto is probably the only hiccup if a perfect season is not in the cards. Also, why is TC the last game of the schedule? Are they no longer deemed a “competitive” rivalry? It seems strange (to me, anyway,) for a district opponent to be played in the final game of the season; especially when it is expected to be a great game and an overall “heavyweight bout.”

But still a great schedule. We should try to schedule a game next season. The last two matches between Venice and Vero have been cancelled by a hurricane and a pandemic. What luck, lol.

This is the first time is been on that date, with the new district/classifications I imagine that’s was the only date that worked for both teams, weird also to close out the season with 3 straight district games too.
 

I actually like the Vero/TC game being the last game, it’s decided the district championship the last several years and now it will come down to the final regular season game of the year. I doubt either team will go unbeaten before this game, but it should be a battle as always. 
 

I believe Vero’s schedule is solid at best, 8 playoff teams from last year, but only TC, Martin County and Palmetto made it out of the first round.

With the schedule TC is playing I would be really surprised if Vero Beach won the ball game. The Titans are clearly playing a schedule designed to toughen up for a state championship run. Not saying VB can’t do it (they certainly can,) but it’s going to take everything they have and maybe then some to knock off the Titans for the district crown. Best of luck to your Fighting Indians, Drogo.

    • Agree with what you think mostly, except I'd use a 4 year average and only move the top team in each region up and bottom team in each region down based on that average. I think 4 years gives a better overall picture of a program.
    • What this means is we will soon see one of two scenarios play out in the coming years: 1) A subset of students will eventually not be able to attend a "good" school because there is simply no space for them due to there being a scarcity of "good" schools 2) Assuming compulsory attendance remains a thing, we will see longtime elite private high schools nosedive in performance. The schools can not perform magic: unmotivated, unprepared often defiant students will NOT be good students no matter what the school does/doesn't do. And oftentimes these sorts of students do have parents who will do the absolute bare minimum needed to get the kid into a private school through the new rules. Anyone who genuinely believes that the schools with higher test scores automatically do a better job of teaching the kids than schools with lower scores is an imbecile. 
    • Here’s a scenario that will cook your noodle. There’s an 11th grader at a D rated public school. Lives in a bad neighborhood with a single mom and a bunch of siblings. Dirt poor, and struggle just to eat and keep the lights on. He can’t get a part time job to help out because he has to watch his little siblings while his mom works.    The school he plays for has poor attendance at the football games, and is always bad. He is a super star for them and tons of new bandwagon fans start to attend the games because they are good and he is the reason. School is making tons of new money.    Season is over. Back to reality for him. School year is over. Summer hits. Some “runner” on behalf of the rich local private school “offers” his mom, him, and all his siblings a way out of poverty. New place to live, food on the table, and an opportunity to get a quality education and maximize exposure for all the top colleges to see. A once in a lifetime opportunity to get his family out of poverty. What say you? Does he say no and continue to barely survive, or does he take the deal? 
    • To make it short and sweet. I am against breaking the rules. If there is a rule that seems outdated or unfair then it should be amended/changed/repealed with majority rule 
    • I am a huge proponent of innocent until proven guilty, and due process with credible evidence. I support a credible investigation, and not some witch hunt by disgruntled folks both near and far from the program. Let’s hope they can get to the bottom of this quickly
