Union County over Columbia

I would say Suwannee over North Marion likely bigger upset because at least with Columbia vs Union County both teams are actually good 

 

Suwannee is terrible and yet still found a way to beat an unbeaten North Marion team, I can't remember the last time Suwannee beat a good team? Maybe the 90s?

That's definitely a shocker and unexpected 

That is unbelievable! Evans has talent, but I am surprised they took out a solid Lake Brantley team, as they had not shown the ability to do so in prior games this season. They gave up 51 points to Seminole for crying out loud. Now I am not suggesting that LB is in Seminole's class talent wise, but they should have been at least 17 to 21 points better than Evans.

If you look at the national rankings, Palm Harbor University over St Pete High is the biggest upset of the year so far. 
 

national number 6,026 over national number 3,452

LB is ranked 999 and Evans is 3,418

Osceola at 5,664 losing to Seminole at 8,160 is up there too 

First off, on a percentage basis, the LB Evans game was the bigger upset. Second, you and I both know that those, so called, National Rankings are worth nothing. I actually have more respect for your Florida top 25 that you post here, for at least you are knowledgeable, if biased, where Florida football is concerned.

Hey I was at that PHU-SPHS game!  Yeah it's a big upset locally for sure because nobody has come close to stopping that St Pete QB other than PHU.  He was like Mike Vick out there, impossible to get down and throwing missiles while on a full run.  I still cant believe PHU kept him in check but every drop back was hold your breath, especially when he threw it 60 yards downfield with just a flick of his wrist.  I should add SPHS to the surprise teams list because they are definitely a surprise 5-1 this year.  They better hope their QB doesnt get hurt though because they are literally a one-man team.

Will you be making the trip to Steinbrenner tomorrow with the team? If so, come introduce yourself. I'll be the coach doing all the goofy hand signals lol

Oh yeah I will be there.  My son plays OL for PHU.  He's a 10th grader.  Please dont hurt him. You guys are too good.  ;-)

Edit:  I will swing by and say hi.  It isn't often you actually get to meet a fellow forum poster in person!

Biggest one to me: Sarasota beating Palmetto was a shocker. Sarasota proved themselves in a big way. The Sailors are back and here to stay!

Union County over Columbia was a head-scratcher.

Parrish Community completely blowing away Bayshore was a major disappointment, especially considering that Bayshore was "supposed to" be somewhat competitive this year.

Port Charlotte over Manatee was a lot of fun!

Suwannee over North Marion had my jaw on the floor.

Miami Central beating IMG was a joy to watch!

Sarasota has been building for a couple years so not such a shocker to me plus Palmetto (Bradenton) is a bit down this year.  PCHS over Manatee was a shocker to me though!

    • If it’s for something reasonable like a Gatorade and water donation & they reach out to the community of course I will help.    it’s all within reason tho. 14,000 for a 3 day gym stay is unreasonable. 2,000 a week for food. Me & a few alumni would just get together and cook. 
    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • 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.
