So difficult to predict the severity of upcoming storms and I will admit since officials usually err on the side of caution, I didn't think it was going to be this bad.  I was wrong and hope the vast majority living in the direct path heeded the warnings and got out.  Prayers for all those living on the affected coast for what they must be going thru as it even caused significant flooding in Kissimmee almost  200 miles away.

I realize that the communities in SW Florida have much bigger problems on their hands than high school football - water, electricity, housing, food, etc.   That said, it'll be interesting to see what affect Ian has on the remainder of this season.  On the one hand, I know how important it will be the 'return to normal' and get the kids back onto the field for practice and games (for their mental well-being, to provide structure in their lives, etc.).  On the other hand, I also realize that government officials have to prioritize resources.  

I heard something on the radio yesterday about Lee County's power grid was going to have to be completely rebuilt.   If true, who knows how long this might take.   What affect will this have on the schools in Fort Myers and Naples? 

All that said, I also know that some good stories will come out of this -- schools helping schools, kids helping other kids, etc.   I look forward to hearing those stories.

I'm truly sorry for the loss of life  Prayers to Lee and Charlotte counties which too the brunt of the devastation.  My sister still lives in Lakeland and aside from no electricity, she is okay.  Prayers to the families that are displaced or dealing with health or injury issues.  Even though our commonality is HS football and no matter where you reside, I feel that the livelihood of humanity trumps everything.  Again, I pray that everyone connected to this board and their families are okay.  My mom is in Charleston, SC which is projected to get hit tonight so my worries are still not over.  At the end of the day, regardless of your religious beliefs or political affiliations, we all want the same thing regardless of how we get there.  Everyone stay safe!  Stay locked and loaded too...

We are scheduled to play Northport in a couple of weeks. We have already reached out to them and offered anything we can to help them return to normal. Even If this involves moving the game to our place or cancelling it all together. What ever scenario works best for them. Way more important things than football at this moment. 

 

Their ad responded: things are really bad there now. they are hoping that FHSAA will allow the extension of the season and to try to get their games in later after they get things somewhat back to normal

Same with Hillsborough.   Lots of district games that have to be played.   And then the teams are going to turn around and play again Friday night.   I guess it's not all that different than the pro teams that play on Sunday and then have to play again on Thursday night. 

Difference is that the pros get paid :)

Many teams played more than one game in a week in 2017 as well after the big Hurricane pummeled Florida. A lot of JV games were played on Monday and Tuesday Nights as well.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      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

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
