Southeast and Hardee

[Hwy17]

Two programs with a lot of tradition.  Two programs that were once powerhouses.  Both mired in mediocrity.  Both with new head coaches.  Both returning a lot of players from last year.  Can either return to the glory days?

Usually takes time to build a program from the bottom up, we shall see

Both have all the potential to be great.  Both schools hired alums as new coaches.   Southeast hired someone with experience as a head coach and has been successful.   I think both can be turned around quickly.

Don't now much about Hardee but Southeast will be in the playoffs this year and can really go big next year, they got a lot of good up and coming talent over their

Southeast has a really good young QB. I watched Alex Taylor (2018) grow up through Pop Warner and he dominated at that level. From the video I've seen so far of him in high school, he has a ton of potential there as well.

I think so too.  Honestly I believe these two will finish 1 & 2 in the district, but which order?  Hardee beat district champs Lemon Bay last year and was in position to win the district before a late season melt down.  Hardee returns a qb, rb, and some other key players but needs to get creative on offense.

It's anybody's guess who finishes 1 and 2 in this district, outside of bayshore this district is really wide open this year which makes this district even funner to watch

This district has had a different champ each year:

 

2015:  Champ: Lemon Bay      Runner-up: Southeast

2014:  Champ: DeSoto            Runner-up:  Booker

2013:  Champ: Hardee            Runner-up:  Booker

2012:  Champ: Palmetto          Runner-up:  Southeast

2011:  Champ: Palmetto          Runner-up:  Hardee

Sorry I ment both lol

Sorry I ment both lol

 

The two have been in the same district since 2011.  Before that I don't know Southeast's history so I'd have to refer to the record book.  Hardee and Southeast played against each other in the playoffs in 2002.  From about 1975 to 2012 both programs were regulars in the playoffs but in different classes.  Paul Maechtle was a legendary coach at Southeast from 1980-2013.  Bob Martin, the same at Hardee from 1978-1995.  The two only met once.

There a chance they both go this year?

I think so.  Both looked good in their respective spring games; granted neither played a strong opponent.
