Also interesting matchup , what do you think about the Dillard @ Naples matchup.

I like Dillard to win that game, but it will be low-scoring. It's hard to defend the slip halfback veer offense. They made our defensive line look silly at times in the Spring game. And the other side of it is that their defense is always well-rested. You make one mistake, they can take 8 minutes off of the clock. 

[JaxTCA2010stateCHAMP]

Lol I like how y'all TRYING JAX TCA,

y'all already know we don't stay out the championship games for to long... Last year was a fluke!!

There's a reason we're one of the most state championship winning teams in Florida history and like top two since 2010

Hmmm interesting I wonder what type of team they will have this year especially with their long time head coach gone.

Not sleeping on them sir, you're definitely gonna be back in the state championship. But Chaminade is gonna be different this season. Need a lot to go your way, more than usual, to beat them this year.

This could very well happen in 2M. When them two play record goes out the book.

[PinellasFB]

It would be nice to see some occasional new blood go on a run but not possible in the transfer era where the strong reload each year and the weak donate their best to the strong.  Tired of seeing the same teams every year.

Very true. I just think that there are two, maybe three teams in 2M that have the potential to stop Central this year. If they get past Northwestern they're not looking back.

True. I just foresee another Columbus vs Apopka matchup. Columbus' defense is the real deal!

Our offensive line cost us that game last season. We also didn't have a single senior on our offensive line. What does that tell you about our 2023 product?

That tells me if Venice doesn't win it all (and get that CAI monkey off their backs), 2023 will be a disappointment.  Will the Indians rise to the challenge?  We will see!  Like last year, I'm rooting for you guys up until you face Lakeland if that even happens.  Gotta get by those damn Kowboys, possibly twice.  Gonna be a fun season!
