Lakeland offense was terrible in the first half. The punt block seemed to finally get them going in the 2nd half. Defensively, they played very well. Lake Gibson has a huge QB with a huge arm.....and he's a junior. He will be good.

 

Lakeland kept with tradition of committing some costly penalties early in the season. They need to get those worked out. O-Line needs to gel a bit more, but I think they'll be fine. They played much better in the 2nd half opening up holes for AJ Davis and Xavier Allen. This was a good game against a quality oppnent to get the rust off. They have (what should be) a couple of sleepers coming up in Ed White and Auburndale to fine tune before they take on Carol City. That is the game that will show me where they are.

 

All in all, it was a good game. I think Lake Gibson came out with almost a playoff mentality to try and knock off Lakeland. Lakeland did not come out with the same intensity and it showed in the early part of the game.

They have a huge QB with a huge arm. When he runs, one person will not bring him down. Reminds me a bit of Dante Culpepper. He can air it out. Just needs receivers to make the catches. Their Defense is pretty solid (or Lakeland's offense was really out of sync in the 1st half). This week will be another good test for them against Kathleen.

Winter Haven will give Lake Gibson a very tough game. Most people have Winter Haven replacing Kathleen for district runner-up and giving Lakeland a run for District champ. If Lake Gibson comes out of those two games healthy and no worse than 1-1, they'll be pretty battle tested. I'm interested to see how Dillard rebounds and puts the STA game behind them. Dillard should be 2-0 going into that game. If you have the horses, you can wear down LG. My prediction right now would be a Dillard win. We'll see how things look after these first two weeks.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
