Miami Central fall practice video


MC Rockets

Dude if you play 4 quarters with varisty then the teams are treating it more like a real game then a scrimmage and if you play a full game you get the same effect of being battle tested as you would had it been a official season game

So for example...If East Ridge plays Osceola in a scrimmage in mid August they would get the same effect as if they were playing Osceola in late October?

The thing is though if you playing 4 quarters like a real game then is it really just a scrimmage?

Not to me.  Experimenting with plays, formations, and the amount of substituting players is not like a real game.  There is a lot more on the line for a real game.  A lot more responsibility, accountability and overall sense of winning for a real game in my opinion.  Losing regular season games generally affects your post season opportunities, pre-season games do not.

 

 But perhaps I am wrong....some opinions on here feel preseason games are just like regular season games.

As of now only district games count against playoff situation, if that new format passes then next year will change that

Yes. Absolutely...Why not? You made the guidelines for this debate my friend ;)

 

If it is being considered a real game and it is the best team Columbia is "playing" this year then you may as well consider it your Superbowl? Tell me a better team Columbia will be playing this year than Apopka?

You make it sound like it's the high point of season lol

I'm still dumbfounded on how this game was even put on the schedule. I don't care what nobody has to say coaches, fans, students nor alumni Central shouldn't be playing East Ridge. If Central wants to be looked at as a national power then the Rockets need to handle the scheduling a little better. From the end of August to the next year of August gives you a year of planning a schedule. I guess I don't know much about Central Rockets football, but from the outside looking in I was expecting more then what I'm getting and same goes for anybody else is.

They did not want to play Eastridge. That was a back door move.

My ideal schedule for them this season would have been:

First Coast

Killian

BTW

Southridge

Carol City

Norland

Columbus

Jackson

Northwestern

Flanagan or AHP

No need to go out of state every year. There are enough teams within the state.

Nice list,maybe Miramar too. I'd drop Flanagan though. Thats like playing your little brother.

Even with a home and home we would have to travel first. When have you ever known any of those teams to travel down to the inner city without an inner city school going there first? By no means am I making this a race thing but I've been following this game and the ins and outs for a long time.

It is what it is, when the visiting team has fears they are placed on the home because its close to the expressway. This is inside info.

Just don't make a wrong turn in that area at night and get lost. You could end up with problems. Not saying it's bad at Traz, but it gets crazy at times.

 

Not sure why Cocoa didn't do the return trip, It's not like Cocoa to slide out of a deal. Only thing I can assume is a scheduling problem happened. MC beat Cocoa by 20 that year but had to forfeit the game. We had Colerain in Ohio, Dallas Skyline in Texas and them MC at home, all in a row. It was a grueling schedule for 37 man roster. The MC game was a good game. MC's defense was lights out... no getting around that, they scored a FG in the 1st quarter, then run for 2 TD's in the second, Blanked in the 3rd and then another FG in the 4th. It was over though by the 3rd because Cocoa only move the ball past midfield maybe twice. Cocoa may have had less total yards in that game since as far back as I can remember. Still no excuse for not returning the game and playing MC at home and taking the medicine, good or bad.

 

When 2 good teams play at Traz, the place is packed. It used to be a little scary walking around in the parking lot, but there are a lot of po po there now.

Traz is not bad... Just that one incident you had last year... Does normally don't happen

What area are safe in America? Ain't know school safe... You can get touch at anytime or anywhere ðŸ˜... Plus I told you before NO DADE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAS THEIR OWN FOOTBALL FIELD!!! Since your afraid of Miami, if Columbia makes it to state which I doubt it , you probably won't want to go cause the citrus bowl is dead smack in the hood 😉

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
