Victory Christian has decided to not renew HC Tommy Lewis' contract.

 

For sure expect Coach Lewis to be on the sidelines somewhere next season.

 10-2, Final Four appearance last year, and a state championship the year before... and shown the door. A thankless profession, it is.

Not 100% sure if this is accurate, but word on the street is that some parents may have had some influence in the decision making process. 

 

Was poking around the internet late last night because I wanted to see where else Coach Lewis had coached. He spent 10 years with a tiny school called Hilton Head in SC where he made nine straight state semifinal appearances, won four titles and went 97-28. Also gave the school it's first winning season, undefeated season, season with 10 wins and first playoff victory. 

 

Due to budget cuts, he sent his resume out to different schools. Victory is the one who reached out to him first and asked him to apply. Got there for 2013 and took them straight to a state semifinal game after they went 4-6 in 2012 and then won states in 2014 before making state semifinal appearances again in 2015 and 2016. 

 

Such a shame that they have now parted ways with him. Not even like he did anything unethical or anything -- none of that.

The FHSAA classifieds has a job posting for the East River head coach. Not sure what happened to Collin Drafts but he must not be there anymore.

 

Just saw a statement from the school that said he'll be pursuing something out of state. 

 

Drafts took a job in South Carolina:

St. Pete Catholic announced that Jay Davis will be the new Head Coach at SPC. This is mind-blowing on so many different levels. Don't get me wrong, it's a great hire and one I think the school had to make; however, his father (John Davis) just returned to CCC as the offensive coordinator and his brother-in-law Chris Harvey, is the HC at CCC. SPC had slowly started to get better as a program; however, the best athletes have since left and enrolled at..well.. CCC.   Again, as an alum- great hire, but he's going against a machine and will need time to mold the program. In other words, this isn't a one or two year fix.

    • 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.
