Pahokee 26-Charlotte 13

Should’ve been a bigger margin of victory, but Pahokee has played down to their opponents the last few games. Hats off to the Charlotte team, they fought hard the entire game. 
 

Offensively, PKs passing game led the scoring, with all 4 tds. The running game was somewhat held in check, but Charlotte just played Richard Young and Lehigh (14-19 loss) so they were up to the test against the run. Was a dominating defensive performance, Charlotte’s only TD came off a kickoff return.

I've always wondered how Pahokee is so good coming from such a small rural community?

For a school that has about 400 kids, it’s amazing. And we’ve lost a lot of kids to other schools. Palm Beach Central has 3 starters that are from PK, one WR who’s committed to Central Michigan. Inlet Grove has 4 starters that are from PK with a WR committed to Illinois, and IMG has a OL (K. Harris) from PK who’s committed to UF. If we were able to keep all our kids (poor local economy) we would be scary

Given how small that school is, how do they even have enough kids to field an 11-man team, especially given the transfers out?

Varsity rosters are usually 30-40 kids and we’ve had some bigger or equal rosters to Delray-Atlantic, Dwyer, Palm Beach Gardens, Charlotte, and Palm Beach Lakes. Pahokee doesn’t have issues filling the varsity rosters for all sports, it’s the JV/Freshman rosters that we have issues filling. 
 

Our JV, football roster is filled with majority of 7th/8th/9th graders and they are 6-0 right now. Freshman basketball is usually middle schoolers (6/7/8), JV basketball is 7th/8th/9th graders, and Varsity basketball is high school kids. Our girls JV teams are usually all middle-schoolers in all sports.

Also opportunities and trying to make it to the NFL. They seen a lot of great athletes going to the league as kids so they want to do the same thing.

Man 7th graders vs 10th graders seems rough?  My kid is in 7th grade and plays OL in Pop Warner ball.  He's 180 lbs but holy shiznit he would get destroyed by some 200+ much stronger 10th grader.  I couldn't even imagine.  Of course I'm thinking about the OL/DL.  A really athletic skill position 7th grader would do just fine at high school JV level I would imagine.

That’s been Pahokee’s JV team (7/8/9th graders) since forever and before they got a pop Warner league most people didn’t put on football pads until 7th grade

    • 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
    • it’s interesting how times have changed. About 10 years ago on back monarch used to be one of the doormats when it came to football, along side other teams in that area such as coral glades, Coral Springs, taravela to name a few.    but in the last 2 years the knights football program has made some serious strides. In 2022 they finished (9-3) with a 2nd round playoff overtime loss to palm beach gardens.    in 2023- the knights finished (11-3) making it all the way to the state semis where they lost 51-21 to the mandarian mustangs.   this year the knights feel they have the team to go all the way with a huge O-Line & D-Line, 2 3* star receivers both stand at 6’3 & 6’4 respectively. To add to that they also have a dynamic C/O of 2027 Dual Quarterback in Jack Spader who can make plays at a high percentage with his hands or his feet ; which is why the knights are going to have one of the most prolific offenses in the state this year.
