Good schedule for Poinciana. Week 2 bye is the only thing I don’t like. That’s a horrible time for a bye week.

I like the schedule. It seems about right for the program at this time. Good luck, coach!

Didnt want the week 2 bye either. Discovery was our week 2 and we had a week 10 bye. It turned out that Mulberry had Discovery week 10. So we just made it fit.

What's the story with Discovery HS?

The head coach called me and said that his spring practice’s started out with 25 and dwindled to about 11.   The principal decided that they cancel spring and next fall and reevaluate their program.  From what I was told this is to be a 1 year thing.  So we will see. I really feel for them.  The issue is most likely school of choice.  I know, in my opinion. Their best player transferred to Davenport before spring and played for them in the spring.

Change is goals that have backfired.

John Livingston was building a good program to challenge the small school powers in Polk, but a new principal and AD came in with other ideas. Their own.

Livingston moved on and the football program has become a dumpster fire.

Dang that is some very bad attrition for a spring session.  Those poor kids who want to play ball at that school too.

It may not be much consolation to the kids there, but I believe they could benefit from HB 225, effective July 1, which allows an athlete to participate at another public school in their district or at a private school, if there school does not offer that sport.  Who knew our lawmakers had such foresight?

Love the positive spin.

I’m sure, or at least hopeful that these kids that desire to play can find a football home at some of the neighboring Polk county schools.

If those kids have size, speed and/or talent, I have no doubt they'll be able to find someplace else to play, with or without "encouragement" from others.

Poinciana Schedule update!   Due to a last minute change, through no fault of their own, Celebration had to cancel week 1 game with us. Long story short, it was not them, but another county's AD that forced them to play another game. Looks like we will be road warriors!

 

Week 1 @ Nature Coast

Week 2 Bye

Week 3 Hardee

Week 4 Horizon

Week 5 @ Tenoroc

Week 6 @ Foundation Academy

Week 7 @ Davenport

Week 8 @ North Port

Week 9 Lake Buena Vista

Week 10 @ Mulberry

Week 11 Liberty

Nature Coast is up my way. Not too far. About 10 miles away. They are usually pretty decent for the area. You will have your hands full. Looking at the schedule they will be the toughest team you face all year.

We needed to step up our competition, as the schedule was made 2 years ago. Hopefully you can attend that game!

Man I would love to. Only issue is my son is a freshman and has a JV game the day before. The varsity plays Friday Night against a county rival away. So I would have to see if he wants to go check his guys out and cheer on the older kids, or he if doesn’t care to. Lol

So they are gonna get the doors blown off them by Duncanville 

The coaches are confident in twitter spaces but the bet is over/under for point spread for their game vs the Cocoa v STA game. I believe the defense will keep it good for the first quarter then they'll get worn out. Too big of a task to not have all the offensive weapons. But I do know rockledge will be doing alot of cut blocks

    • Carter Smith could be playing MLB next year but opted for football.  As a sophomore pitcher, he was clocked over 90mph+ with his fastball.  Here in Lee County, we have plenty of great athletes.  Most people think of Deion, Jevon Kearse, Jammi German, Earnest Graham and Sammy Watkins etc.  But the area is full of talent, however, most don't end up at the same school.  
    • I cold be wrong, but I'm thinking there's no way this team competes with Good Counsel, MNW or STA this year.  At least right now. So that's three losses right there.  Throw in South Dade or Miami Palmetto who always plays us tough - it's not hard to see 4 losses on the season right now before playoffs. But it's early. On the positive side, we do have a stud receiver returning in Bryce Fitzgerald, I just hope we can settle in on a QB to get him the ball. Young kid from Palm Beach transferred in this spring looking for a starting QB job, but he was the least impressive of the 4 I saw. We have 1 or 2 notable playmakers on defense (including Fitzgerald who plays DB too) - but we graduated 8 starters (3 playing D1 next year) and our best returning player Chavez was out injured - and they are moving him to a receiver/slot back position anyway, so let's see if that opens things up for 4* Fitzgerald at WR. We just have limited playmakers and smaller OLine than we have had in a while. The coaches always do well with what we have, so I should be careful not to overstate how much of a rebuilding year this is - but when you lose your Dade County player of the year QB and the majority of an impressive defense, I need to be realistic. If you watched it, you'd feel similar. I do feel a bit better after reading BV's QB Carter Smith is apparently the #1 rated QB in the state. That explains why he torched our young guys so badly with 27 straight points before the boys had an answer. But it's clear we had some real inconsistencies on offense. I'm hoping with time and the selection of a starter, things will settle down there.
    • Don’t throw in the towel yet Columbus, rumor has it, off the street, not from the administration or coaches, that Central & Chaminade are holding a recruiting seminar , of course for pay. Topics like 1) How to recruit the Nation & make it look like “your team was sought out”. 2) How to get over 20 transfers without the FHSAA questioning it. 3) How to reach over to Naples & other out of countyFlorida non powers & snatch their best players for the betterment of high school football. Etc……

    • 7-4 implies losing in the first round of the playoffs. Based on the brackets in the south, I can't see Columbus going one and done in the playoffs. Maybe 8-4 or 7-5 with a loss to Palmetto or similar team in the second round if you have really dropped off a lot.
