Though still tragic, hope the assessment of the Jones HC stating it didn't involve anyone connected to either team but was a neighborhood squabble gone bad.  Hope that is the case where it isn't a negative reflection of either team.

I first saw this last night and I've been searching for the right word to describe my feelings.  I just can't seem to find the right word.  I can't even think of a group of words together that do the trick.   It's just beyond me.  "Gun violence" and "high school football playoff game" should never have to be mentioned in the same story.  Never.

      That would’ve been a solid matchup to. And great exposure for Dillard who’s returning a great squad this year. Waiting for our schedule to drop, but I can see another 2 lost or less record this year with a 2nd round or further appearance.

      will they pay the coaches???

      By gatorman-uf · Posted

      Dude, I usually post the average salaries per county on this board so that all coaches have accurate information. I also speak to my local teachers association's executive board and school board members about the pay of teachers, sponsors, and coaches on a regular basis.  Also, as I pointed out when the article was originally posted, there is a teacher shortage in this state. There does seem to be a coaching shortage. Coaches leaving for Georgia isn't the same as not being able to find a qualified replacement, which is found in many teaching positions in Florida. So, school boards are going to try to prioritize teacher pay first. A mandate from the Florida Department of Education will upset school boards as it will be another unfunded mandate from the state to do something. Governor DeSantis and the legislature promised that teachers would start at $47.5K, but for many school districts, they didn't provide enough money to make that happen (even after 4 years of it).  If you begin mandating the numbers suggested by the article without providing additional pay (which is why you would need a bill), that money must come from somewhere. The school district will have to use money geared toward teacher pay/raises to pay for the mandate, which means you are telling the nice little kindergarten teacher she gets less of a raise so the football coach can get a 14K raise. See how well that will play in the communities as a whole.
