It was previously mentioned that Marco Island is the top dog with a 33 game losing streak. But these are the teams that are following behind, and will be entering the 2023 season trying to snap these losing streaks. Here is the top 10


Marco Island Academy 33

Northeast (Oakland Park) 22

Discovery 19

Tampa Freedom 18

Fort Walton Beach 17 (23 on the field)

Pine Ridge 16

Winter Springs 14

Somerset Key 14

Viera 13

Wesley Chapel 12

Wesley Chapel is the one that surprises me.  Hadn't had a losing season in years and then suddenly goes 0-10 last year.  Did they lose a bunch of transfers or a new school open up nearby?  

A couple of other things of note:

  • North Port is in a talent rich area but must be in a demographic void in the area
  • Marco Island is just too isolated and demographically challenged of a community to ever be competitive

Maybe the kids returned to Rockledge and Cocoa ...

That's exactly what happened. Last season and the season before that alot of players returned to Rockledge, Eau Gallie, and Melbourne. The season before that players returned to Cocoa and Rockledge. Their stud DLineman from a couples seasons ago that signed with UF technically would've been zoned for Cocoa.

So, live by the transfer sword, die by the transfer sword. 

Any idea what prompted the exodus?

Kevin Mays was his name

You are probably on to something as when he left Viera for the AD job at Toho they started getting a few key transfers which enabled them to get into the playoffs within the first 3 or so yeas of existence.  Once he left as well as his HC things at Toho quickly fell apart.

The Viera situation makes me wonder what will happen to Lakeland over the next few years.  As I see it, here are the options: 

(1) Lakeland doesn't skip a beat, as all of the other pieces of the puzzle remain intact and the new head coach knows what to do to keep the system moving forward.

(2) Like many other places, one or two kids will transfer and that will start the process of the rats leaving the ship and there won't be any new game-changing transfers coming into the school and Lakeland will start sliding downhill. 

(3) A representative from Polk County will introduce legislation, and a bill will be passed and signed by the Governor, that prohibits Castle from following through on his resignation and he will remain on the Dreadnaught sidelines for the next 30-40 years, a la Weekend at Bernie's.

Castle seems to be in great shape, but if he lives that long, he will be competing for oldest man in the world by then.

      Clearwater Academy transfers

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
