2. Port Charlotte over Manatee

3. Bay over Mosley 

4. Suwannee over North Marion

5. Wekiva over West Orange

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!

    • Unions want their members compensated. Districts are slow to compensate teachers and coaches, period. Because ultimately coaches/sponsors are extracurriculars, and not the primary focus of the district despite what some on this board would have you believe. Make it easy, ask your local principal how many teaching openings they have this year in their faculty, ask how much turnover will exist in their ranks this summer, and when they replace them, how many will be highly qualified teachers. Ask the AD how many of their coaches are not highly qualified. The problem from the district and unions' perspective is that there isn't a coaching shortage, somebody always wants to be a coach, but few want to be a math teacher or special education and have their career tied to a test that they have no control over. So just like in the business world, you should pay more to get a person to do the job if nobody is willing to do it. Now if you want to blame the unions, blame them and the districts for not being flexible in salaries for areas of critical needs/shortages. Despite their being a shortage, it isn't a universal shortage. Florida isn't struggling for social studies teachers, PE teachers, or elementary teachers, but secondary math, science, english, special ed (all levels), and world languages. Unions/districts have been reluctant to give extra pay to those subjects to entice people to enter the field, but notice, PE teacher isn't on that list. __________________ To give an idea of what will happen, let's use Madison County (since they were mentioned in an above post). Madison County has 30 head coaches and JV/assistant coaches (including cheerleading). The total amount of salaries that they put to those positions is %66,706. Madison County had a budget of $24 million, so .27% of their total budget. If the proposed bill passes, Madison County would spend 322,500, which represents 1.34% of their budget, about 4.8 times more than current. Now, if the state legislature would simple just add the $260,000 onto the budget, the unions wouldn't care other than making sure that all assistant/jv/and non mentioned coaches from the PB Post article are included. But that isn't what will happen, instead it will be a specific line in the budget from the state legislature, similar to technology or textbooks, money will be required to be spent on the salaries and the state will offer no additional funding (or they will only do it for 2 or 3 years, and when there are new priorities, they will still require it but provide no funding for it). Now, if they offer no additional funding, what happens is that money comes from somewhere in the budget. Considering that that this be part of "teacher salaries", that means it will be pulled from general instructional salaries portion of the budget, which means less money for teachers. So yes, teachers will be upset when the state legislature yet again promises something and then underdelivers (see making the starting salary $47,500).
    • low pay and high expense on housing, while are in the talks, coaches are leaving becuase of resources.  Mike Coe of coffee who was at union county and was a state championship contender year in and out, leaves to go to ga, in 3 seasons they went 15-0 this past yr, have an indoor field being built, makes a ton of money, all his 20 coaches do as well.  resources, the ability to say if we want something, we dont have to sell discount cards and do car washes to buy 10 helmets, we go to people with power/money/boosters/etc and say we need 10 helmets.  look up his twitter, thats where this all came from. camden county and travis roland, same deal.  win a title at mainland and goes fundraising the next week.  or go to camden, takes his staff, make more money, have incredible resources to facilitate what a state championship program should look like, same-read his twitter. id say majority of coaches would work in FL for what coaches rate is, if there were resources available that if you ask for it, its done.  not having to spend the summer selling cards or raffle tickets or whatever they do....
    • The rationale for allowing unlimited transfers, while also allowing an effectively unregulated "NIL" market, is that players should be able to do ANYTHING that helps them better themselves. ANY limits or regulations are said to be immoral, and probably rooted in "white supremacy". Welp, imagine a player playing on a team that's getting their butts kicked. You can't argue that it wouldn't improve his marketability to simply take off his uniform and walk over to the other sideline during the game. NOW, he's on the WINNING team. It would be MUCH better for the player to be on the winning team than to be a no-good loser. And, since "equity" is seen as THE most (if not only) important thing-whereby "equity" is defined and measured by the equivalence (or lack thereof) of outcomes- allowing all of the players on the losing team to simply leave and join the winning team, it all makes perfect sense!* *While bitter sarcasm was employed here, this is not really a joke. Using the current rationale, the above IS consistent with the rationale.
    • Teachers are sometimes their own worst enemies.
    • This is a bit of an incoherent mess. The matter of parents' rights is separate from teacher/coaches pay and teacher certification. All are valid, but distinct, concerns.
