Pretty one-side win as self inflicted wounds (penalties), muffed punt, INT, etc..  probably kept another 14 points off the board.  Was confident we would probably earn another win tonight because of our physical advantage on both OL and DL, that proving to be the big difference.  They had trouble blocking our front all night which eventually led to frustration on their part causing unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the ballgame which I was hoping wouldn't turn ugly.  Another dominant game for John Walker (DL) as he has recorded over 30 tackles in the first 3 games against top teams.  Don't know his numbers tonight, but they were huge again.

Thanks for that, but rest assured Rockledge Raiders are no Central Rockets or CMD so your challenge is much greater.   Good luck tonight, don't turn the ball over and limit penalties and you will be in the fight.

Congrats on the win. Y'all definitely showed that y'all are still one of the top teams in Central Florida. Very well could've been undefeated right now. I didn't finish watching the game yet but from what I saw, y'all were having y'all way with Rockledge in every aspect of the game. Y'all line looked huge compared to Rocklrdge's. A lot of fans were upset saying the playcalling was too conservative in the game but honestly I don't see it that way. In order to open up the playbook they would have to get things rolling first and they simply didn't have an answer and couldn't adjust. They were faced with their first real test and adversity and folded. I'm sure the Cocoa players that transferred to Rock thought it would be the same type of game as it was when they played y'all for Cocoa. Not so much lol. But again great win and good showing last night. 

Rockledge should definitely learn from this game as they have another test on the road next week against Manatee.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
