Game had a couple heavy downpours roll through and had a lightning delay which led to a very close, smash-mouth style, sloppy game. Both teams had a few turnovers.   Oxbridge struck long early and went fairly conservative after that.  The Oxbridge Defense was good enough to contain Flanagan in the red zone.  Oxbridge OL and DL stood out and their Defense overall was pretty stout.  Flanagan looked about like I expected - a "B" version of last years team.

Oxbridge also fumbled the ball like three times at some pretty crucial times, although weather could have played a little roll in it. 

 

If the lightning had waited like maybe 45 seconds at the end there it possibly could have been 13-6. Oxbridge possibly got into the endzone but refs couldn't agree if it was a TD or not and as they were getting ready to confer, lightning alarm sounded and they just called it at 7-6. 

 

Overall, a good game and Richardson is going to be a solid QB I'd say.

keep the updates coming.

 

How does Oxbridge look?

I was talking to a few Oxbridge Academy fans/dads and they said outside of losing Travis Homer at RB - Oxbridge Academy is stronger than last year, particularly at the OL and DL.  From what I saw from the sidelines they looked like a very well oiled 3A machine in August. Stood out more Defensively to me than Offensively ( then again they were playing at Flanagan)

 Maybe it was me but late in the game, the Oxbridge players looked a little more lively and conditioned compared to Flanagan.  On the last drive of the game for the Thunderwolves, it really showed.

Another thing I did notice is Oxbridge has a pretty small roster and I believe a couple of kids were playing both ways.

Yes - OL/DL is incredibly talented this season. 

 

Conditioning wise, I don't know what those other teams do but those Oxbridge boys go through some tough conditioning, in part because the play up-tempo and no-huddle on offense so they have to be conditioned very well to play in that. 

 

MaxPreps shows 45 on the team compared to 2015's MP roster (that included JV players) that listed roughly 60.

Heard the D looked real good, but jury still out on the Offense though that young qb seems to be a keeper.  perhaps they'll adjust and show some weapons vs CC next week.  

D looked great.  Offense is a ? but to be fair the Flanagan Defense looked pretty good as well.  As far as Carol City at this point, the way Carol City is looking offensively, Oxbridge may be able to seal the deal with 17 pts on the board.  Could be huge contrast to last years CC/Oxbridge game that was a 2nd half shootout that Buckshot took over in.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      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.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      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
