[DisabledAccount]

Mandrian, Vero, FPC, south Dade are just several teams I left out that were very deserving and would be top 10 in any other class I did

1:Apopka

2:Columbus

3:Deerfield beach

4:Manatee

5:Osceola

6:Sandalwood

7:west Orange

8:Boca

9:Dr Phillips

10:Flanagan

You got to find a place for Miami Southridge, University Orange in there.

[Floridatech]

Vero has to earn their ranking in the top 10 of 8a they lost their whole offense and o line is crap this year can't even protect our senior but young QB

[DisabledAccount]

You got to find a place for Miami Southridge, University Orange in there.

To do that I have to drop consistant deep run playoff team Dr Phillips and the defending 8A champs, are you positive that those 2 are better then Dr Phillips and Flanagan?

I would say University Orange is right in the mix with Dr. Phillips and Flanagan.  On paper, Southridge is as good as anyone in 8A in 2016 IMO.

Osceola not even in ur top 10?!?

[FLFB]

Osceola not even in ur top 10?!?

They lost their best player on both offense (their workhorse RB to Maryland) and defense (best player on team CB Carlos Becker to FSU) as well as a couple other guys

 

They don't bring a heck of a lot back. Who would you put them in over?

[TitanUp]

Honestly we have the potential to be a top 10 team, however we have yet to play in the playoffs. We have some work to do on defense and special teams, lost our entire secondary, our do everything MLB, an OLB and a DL. Had over 100 kids out today and have some very talented kids filling those spots. This team reminds me of the Deland team I was apart of in 09, just as much talent.

They only return 2 from last year including no QB.  They got a JV kid coming up.  I just see them or mirmar being a problem for Deerfield Beach.  Historically, Deerfield Beach struggles with teams from that District in the playoffs for whatever reason.  Not sure why.

Broward at end of day regardless of how much Flanagan lost they are still defending champs so they can't be counted out just yet, and yeah I picked them to lose in first round of bold predictions but its still their title defense and until they are knocked out they should at least be in top 10 of 8A

I agree they should be in the top 10 of 8A .  Probably between 7-10.  Who do you have Flanagan losing to in the first round ? Piper?  If Flanagan wins their District they will likely be playing Piper or Stoneman Douglas.

Good to hear, those were my thoughts too on the defense. To me you guys are a big ? Not sure what to expect since you'll be replacing so much, but who knows by the end of the year

Hmm not sure, I thought they would have played Deerfield but I'll need to find out more about those 2 teams

2nd place in the Flanagan/Miramar District will get Deerfield Beach.

2nd place in the Flanagan/Miramar District will get Deerfield Beach.

Could Miramar beat Flanagan and force them to travel to Deerfield?
