Pinellas County having a banner year

If I would have told you Pinellas County would be heading Into the 3rd round of the playoffs with more teams than every county in Florida besides Dade and Broward you would have called me some homer troll who must have moved to Pinellas County, wife is from Pinellas County and forced me to say it, or someone from Pinellas County saved my life. None of those are true. Except Pinellas rolling into the 3rd round with more teams than every county except Dade and Broward!!!!!!!! Here’s what they got left. 
 

Largo vs Jesuit - Largo is a heavy underdog but has played Lakewood close, and at this point anything can happen. 
 

East Lake vs Ocoee - this is a bit of a mystery. Ocoee has had a light years better schedule, but the results are up and down. This is a tough game to size up. 
 

Lakewood vs Calvary Clearwater - when these 2 teams scored huge wins against quality Hillsborough teams it guaranteed Pinellas would have a team playing in the state semi finals. This is another toss up game. 
 

CCC vs CDS - CCC has been the Hillsborough killers this year and this game should be no different. Pinellas should have 2 teams walking into the state semis

Great summary!  I called it back in March and it's almost scary to see it unfold.  

Let's Have FUN! Air it out here!

Pinellas usually gets wiped out in the first round so yeah this is a banner year for the county.  I thought the second round would be the big filter for the county this year but they all played great.  I like ELHS chances vs Ocoee way more than I would have liked vs West Orange.  I've watched ELHS all year and their strength is unstoppable offense but their weakness  has been defense until the playoffs.  In both of their playoff games, the other team moved the ball at will between the 20s but ELHS seemed to stop drive after drive inside the 10 yard line or came up with timely TOs.  This just doesn't seem sustainable so eventually they will have to win another shootout, which is their standard way of dispatching a quality opponent.  I am predicting another shootout which has been wrong so far but it will happen eventually.  If I were not traveling for the holidays I would definitely attend this game!

    • Incorrect PINSTRIPES-THE BIG SHOT, a personal foul is NOT a loss-of-down foul. That would be an unsportsmanlike-conduct foul anyway, not a personal foul, which is also not a loss-of-down foul, and cannot be penalized from the spot of the foul, since it is a dead-ball enforcement PINSTRIPES-THE BIG SHOT! Your education continues, and you're welcome for that, PINSTRIPES-THE BIG SHOT!   
    • Vero Beach, like last year, will not possess the physical maturity on its defensive line needed to challenge Osceola at the line of scrimmage and stop their fierce rushing attack. Their only hope at winning that region against your Kowboys is that their offense is able to get them to 35 points and their defense does just enough to hold you to 28. This is a dream. Treasure Coast is not dynamic enough offensively to score  enough points to win a shootout. As long as your offense can get you 17 points in either of these meetings with TC (and lord knows they are far more than capable of doing so,) Osceola should be a strong favorite to win their region and meet Venice/Manatee/Lakeland/Buccholz etc. in round 4. 
    • Thanks for the kind words but all we currently have is "POTENTIAL" and a lot needs to happen before we start envisioning a deep playoff run.  Odds of getting into the playoffs are pretty good but I believe seeding can have an impact on how far you go and I have little faith in the system based on history.  Exhibit #1 was last year with us having to travel to Vero Beach, which didn't affect the outcome but reflects the calculus.  Despite seeding them higher, we thumped them at their place 31-7 and very well could have been even more one-sided.  Does make me wonder. 
    • Venice is hiring Denzel Nickerson to be their passing game coordinator/ assistant wide receiver coach.
