Part of the magic of HS football for me is the atmosphere on Friday nights...under the lights...bands blasting....percussion drumming...crowd making some noise.....

In the Orlando area, in no particular order: Apopka, Boone, Lake Brantley, Jones (when on the small field, in years when they are good), Timber Creek, Oviedo, Mainland (outside the area, but has some die hard supporters).

Lakeland has been pretty good over the years. I've been going to games there since '86. Bryant is a great stadium with a lot of old character. With the stadium being off-campus and the police escort to each game, Lakeland makes quite an entrance. Ironically, today is the 75th anniversary of Lakeland's first game at the stadium 9/26/1941.

 

Manatee has a pretty good atmosphere as well.

I love Friday nights, the band playing, the smoke from hamburgers on the grill, fried shrimp and gumbo at the concession stand.  Seeing the whole town from 8 months to 88 donning their purple and gold, cheerleaders,  the ROTC color guard during The Star Spangled Banner.  Watching the boys leave everthing they have out there on the field just for the love of the game.  Great stuff. 

 

I would also like to mention what a great atmosphere Baker High has especially late in the year when its about 45 degrees and they have the best hot chocolate.

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

      Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

      They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.
