SOUTH FLORIDA “TOP 10” RANKINGS ENTERING WEEK 2

Now that the first week is in the books, all I can say is “WEEK 1 Did Not disappoint!”
 

Now entering Week 2 if I had to post my south Florida top 10 it would be. 
 

#1 MIAMI Central (1-0)

#2 Chaminade Madonna (1-0)

#3 American Heritage (2-0)

#4 MIAMI Northwestern (1-0)

#5 St Thomas Aquinas (1-0)

#6 Dillard (1-0)

#7 Columbus (1-0)

#8 Homestead (1-0)

#9 Western (1-0)

#10 Cardinal gibbons. (1-0)
 

i put gibbons at 10 because right now they don’t look all that impressive. After a big graduation class & a few transfers that transfer out they look a shell of their past championship teams.

3 weeks ago they lost a referee scrimmage to a below Avg Blanche ely team (8-7)

the very next week they didn’t put anybody points against chaminade Madonna 

& last week they won (11-6) vs a dematha team that’s nowhere near what they use to be. But it’s a long season and a lot can change. But for right now, this is where I’m at top 10 wise. 


Dark Horses:BTW (1-0) MIAMI Norland, Avant grande, Miramar,palmetto, Plantation.

A referee’s scrimmage? Let’s not count that! In the same breath they played  your #2 team to a 0-0 tie! That doesn’t count? DeMatha could give everyone a game in the top 10 & prob beat half of em…..I tell ya this, I’d take Gibbons HC, DuBuc, on GAMEDAY over most of your list. HAVING HAD MY RANT, there isn’t too much wiggle room in that top 10……
 

let’s hope Cham only plays a half, like they did vs St John’s,  vs Dillard.

Ref scrimmages are also typically played on 50 yard fields instead of 100 

 

It's not a true game atmosphere, not even up to KOC standards

To lazy to look, but are all those teams METRO ?  If so then the 4 titles from Suburban seem a little hollow...just saying.

Almost by definition, all of the teams are Metro.   The eight counties that make up Metro are:  Broward, Dade, Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Seminole.  So, if you're doing a Top 10 of South Florida teams (which is what this particular thread is), I'm not sure what you have other than teams in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach. 

If your point is that there aren't any other good teams in the state (or that there's few, if any teams, outside of South Florida that would crack into that Top 10 if the list were expanded to state wide), you may have a point . . . although I suspect there would be some argument there from folks who follow Lakeland, Buchholz, Niceville, Osceola and Venice. 

Personally, I think that the top 4S teams that I just mentioned could compete with the top 4M teams (Apopka, Seminole, Columbus, to name a few).  And while it's really not fair to 'compare' 3S with 3M or 2S with 2M (because the enrollment numbers for the four Metro classifications are not the same as for the four Suburban classifications), I think it's safe to say that the top teams in 2S (other than Cocoa) would have a difficult time beating the top teams in 2M (like Central, Bolles, Berkeley, CCC, TC, AHP, CG, Norland, etc.) and the top teams in 3S (other than, perhaps, Lincoln and, just to stay on CHF's good side, Columbia) would have a difficult time beating the top teams in 3M (like STA, Dillard, Jones, Armwood, TBT, Jesuit, etc.).  

So, while there may be a handful of really good teams in the Suburban group, the cream of the crop is definitely in Metro.

My mistake didn't "SEE" South Florida. Still not a fan of the split, showing my prejudices. #oldfool

    • 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
