St. John's Cadets 42, Delray American Heritage 9

St. John's is a national powerhouse, just shy of Bishop Gorman. Last week, they pounded another top 25 nationally ranked team in Pittsburg Central Catholic.  This isn't the same American Heritage Delray team from years past.  There's still plenty of talent on the roster, but let's face it- there's no Devin Singletary or DJ Davis walking through those doors anymore.

Things don't get much easier for the Stallions as next week they travel to Glades Central and then host Miami Northwestern.

I will say after watching TCA earlier today I think they will win 3a, I thought before season they might drop but I see that a good team that should win it all again

I saw the live feed of the game. Columbia wasn't ready for that game. Since it was a quickly scheduled game with little to no prep work the game became a "athlete for athlete battle" and very few teams can "out athlete" JaxTCA. The better athletes won today.

I've said all year, there are two teams in 3A that can challenge JaxTCA, Chaminade-Madonna and CCC. I'm throwing Oxbridge in there now as well. All 3 teams have very strong offenses, all 3 teams have very strong defenses (Although, Oxbridge is the best defensive team of the bunch).  Now, I never said they could "beat" JaxTCA, just that all 3 are in the realm of competing for 4 quarters.

The Columbia team I saw today isn't the same Columbia team that I would see if I went up there next Friday after a week of prep. That said, Columbia knew what they were getting into when they agreed to this one.

The game would have been closer if it happened with a week of prep but we take full responsibility, we didn't do what we had to do to win so we didn't, time to get ready for buchholz on a short week next Thursday

TCA had short notice on the game as well and Columbia had a couple extra days of rest against a much weaker Gainesville team.

And? Don't you think that maybe a team like Columbia does better with actually preping for a game and that maybe TCA coming off a loss had them more motivated then Columbia coming off 2 straight wins?

 

And truthfully when you have no time to prepare the game will favor the better athletes which clearly was TCA who has nearly 15-20 D1 prospects on the field compared to Columbia who despite having talent does not get the players TCA get

 

But idc honestly, once we playing at our peak and pushing ourselves to state then no one gonna care about this week 2 loss

DarterBlue said that Columbia has embarrassed Apopka with their poor performance today!

I think he is thinking too much into it, despite this loss Columbia a very talented and well coached team and Apopka has nothing to be ashamed of by that loss and Apopka firing on all cylinders since the loss so it helped them

    • This is probably going to impact several different schools. Sumner will probably lose several key players to transfer. This means some schools are going to be getting unforeseen boosts as well. You'd assume that the schools in that immediate area might benefit. But, in this day and age, some players could end up far away. Tampa Robinson lost their head coach to USC, and their top recruit transferred...to Chaminade in Broward County.
    • As reported by Josh on this site, Sumner's head football coach, Alonzo Ashwood, was dismissed.  No reason for the dismissal was given, but it certainly wouldn't have been based on the team's on-the-field performance.   I've got a hunch the coach crossed one of those pesky rule lines, perhaps one too many times, and left the principal with little choice.   Again, just speculation on my part.   It'll be interesting to see what repercussions this has for the Stingrays.   Here's a link to Josh's article: http://floridahsfootball.com/2024/05/20/alonzo-ashwood-dismissed-at-sumner-after-four-seasons-per-report/
    • Vero’s offense struggled the entire game, the lone score came on a scoop and score via a fumble. White showed the characteristics of a presumed first year starter. His ability is there no doubt, he’ll just need to settle into the starting role.    West Boca was much more effective- leaning on their 4* running back Javian Mallory, can see them having another good year. They would have probably won the game had it gone a little longer.   
    • If all the talk from the head coach about Dillard being bigger and better this year and how last year in his first year was a trial and error for him, it better be an easy dub. Lol
    • As For my Dillard panthers , this will be a huge test for us before things crank up for real in the next few months.    right now Dillard will be coming in this game with a lot of questions. Whose gonna be the Starting QB after a lot of controversy in last year playoff lost to ely where the fans and some of the players felt the sophomore back up should have replaced the junior starter after constantly turning the ball over.    the panthers also will be debuting a new OC & a new DC for the 2024 season. Last year while the defense was average to above average. Our offense appeared to be very basic & vanilla with No real offensive schemes to get the playmakers open.    we’ve gotten a few transfers in & promoted a few great players from JV to varsity. & with this being year 2 of Dillards new head coach & being placed in a new district I’m interested to see the adjustments & progressions in this season vs last season.    this has the make to be a very good game if the weather permits for all 4 quarters, but until proven otherwise I’m going to take the knights in this game in a final score of    DILLARD 21 MONARCH 28 what do you guys think of this matchup @nolebull813 @FBGUY1989 @cribboy305
