I don't know what the rest of you think, but the playoff game I saw between Braden River and STA last year was defined by one play.  Samuel's interception ending the BR drive. Otherwise, BR scores on that drive and the outcome could have been different.  Point I'm making is that game was a lot closer than many realize and BR had the manpower to hang with STA.  In my opinion, those were the best two teams in 7a last year.  

I was not able to watch the game but from what  I have read and based on the box-score, both teams could not really rush on each other ( 1 fumble loss each as well)  but STA passed the ball much more efficiently.  2 INTs for Braden River, 0 for STA.  It appears STA built a 21-10 halftime lead, locked down Braden River for the most part in the 2nd half, went conservative offensively, stalled and kicked a couple 4th quarter FGs.  Final score was 27-10 STA. Difference in the game appeared to be the STA Defense and STA passed the ball better.

Having a shot at beating STA you cannot have more than 1 turnover....Braden River had 3 that game versus STA 1.  A well played game by Braden River but it will take a better performance than that in 2016.

I remember the times Lakeland beat STA in the state title games.  I also remember when Charlotte knocked STA out of the playoffs in 2004 (?) and when Lincoln beat them in the title game.  One thing I remember about all those games was the winning team had to establish the run early and play smash mouth football.

Fair point. But the STA these days has a 1 year Head Coach and now a new DC .  Could be a little different animal.  We'll see how the teams that play STA locally fair versus them and how they attack the Raiders...

Isn't the new HC that they got the Plant City  OC from last year?  

 

I'll take your word for them falling back a bit though.  I was searching for another team that may be able to make some noise.  Probably a 7-3 regular season type team?

Probably Tampa bay Tech. they got a QB to transfer from Pasco high. But they often under-achieve but are always very talented

      Carter Smith could be playing MLB next year but opted for football.  As a sophomore pitcher, he was clocked over 90mph+ with his fastball.  Here in Lee County, we have plenty of great athletes.  Most people think of Deion, Jevon Kearse, Jammi German, Earnest Graham and Sammy Watkins etc.  But the area is full of talent, however, most don't end up at the same school.

      I cold be wrong, but I'm thinking there's no way this team competes with Good Counsel, MNW or STA this year.  At least right now. So that's three losses right there.  Throw in South Dade or Miami Palmetto who always plays us tough - it's not hard to see 4 losses on the season right now before playoffs. But it's early. On the positive side, we do have a stud receiver returning in Bryce Fitzgerald, I just hope we can settle in on a QB to get him the ball. Young kid from Palm Beach transferred in this spring looking for a starting QB job, but he was the least impressive of the 4 I saw. We have 1 or 2 notable playmakers on defense (including Fitzgerald who plays DB too) - but we graduated 8 starters (3 playing D1 next year) and our best returning player Chavez was out injured - and they are moving him to a receiver/slot back position anyway, so let's see if that opens things up for 4* Fitzgerald at WR. We just have limited playmakers and smaller OLine than we have had in a while. The coaches always do well with what we have, so I should be careful not to overstate how much of a rebuilding year this is - but when you lose your Dade County player of the year QB and the majority of an impressive defense, I need to be realistic. If you watched it, you'd feel similar. I do feel a bit better after reading BV's QB Carter Smith is apparently the #1 rated QB in the state. That explains why he torched our young guys so badly with 27 straight points before the boys had an answer. But it's clear we had some real inconsistencies on offense. I'm hoping with time and the selection of a starter, things will settle down there.
