Rays the best team in the greater Tampa area?

Quite likely the best in Tampa in 4M. Are they a contender? Very hard to say. Most Hillsborough teams don't get to play many teams out of the area per policy. 

I guess, if they don't stumble before, we will have to wait for the playoffs to have an answer. They have certainly put up some impressive offensive statistics, though. Their games against Riverview and Durant may provide some competition. If they blow out those two, it's safe to say they are decent if not very good.

When I seen the score against Wharton I instantly thought they will need some top 25 consideration. 
 

Sumner killed Wharton way worse than Jesuit did and Jesuit just chopped down Armwood if we are daisy chaining. Lol. 

Spoke with a friend who attended the game. He said it was real competitive for over three quarters. Then Wharton melted towards the end of the game. Very good win nonetheless.

Problem is their schedule is so horrible overall, and it gets really bad the second half of the season. They will coast into the playoffs 10-0

Yup so Beatdowns are important…..

Yeah just seen that. 18-14 heading into the 4th quarter then Sumner scored 22 in the 4th blow the game open

I’ve said this a billion times. I hate the current classifications. The district are small week and watered down. We would know a hell of a lot more if these teams are playing in 7 or 8 team districts.

 

Hillsborough public schools would set up perfectly into two 6A and two 5A districts  of 7 teams each if we were in the old system. if that was the case, we would know a lot more about teams like Sumner based on the results.

All we really think we know about Hillsborough public teams is that they fit in 3 general categories. Decent to good, average, and awful. 

Category 1: 

Tech

Armwood

Sumner

Plant

Wharton

Hillsborough 

Durant

Plant City

 

Category 2

Robinson

East Bay

Alonso

Steinbrenner

Blake 

Riverview

Newsome

Lennard

Strawberry Crest

Gaither

Sickles

 

Category 3

Freedom

King 

Brandon

Leto

Middleton

Jefferson

Chamberlain

Spoto

Bloomingdale

Seems Sumner does that a lot... coasting into the playoffs. Sometimes they even make it to the Semi's.

In year 3 or 4? Or just in general? 

I think, but am not sure, that the school had been open less than 5 years at the time. You can correct me if I am wrong. At the very most, I am pretty sure it was less than 10 years old.

After checking, I see it had been open for exactly 10 years in 2019. When you get old, time certainly travels fast. So, the answer is that there is no recent Tampa school that has reached a semifinal in a four year window.

no. Sumner opened in 2020 as High School. It’s brand new.

I know Sumner is new. I was responding to the fact that Sumner had never made a state semifinal and that the only new Tampa school that had was Steinbrenner in 2019. I did not realize that Steinbrenner was 10 years old back then.

    • Vero should be very solid this year, the offense has more experience this season as they started several true freshman last year, the defense lost some talent so that will be the question mark heading into the offseason.   I see them being as good as the team that lost in the 3rd round, probably a little better to be honest. The hopes are high considering the talent that is coming back, and has already transferred in, do they have state championship level talent? No, but hopes are high. I do not see them starting 0-3 like least season though. Vero QB Champ Monds went into those games last year as a true freshman who had never played a game at the high school level, now has a year under his belt, and holds 20+ offers as a rising sophomore. He has the potential to be one of the top QB’s in the country by the time he’s a senior, the question for Vero is can they keep him here. IMG has made a run at a lot of the higher profile talent in the treasure coast area the last several years. 
    • I think those first 3 games should tell us a lot about Vero.  They should beat Eau Gallie but it won’t be easy.  Traveling to Buchholz should be a challenge.  Buchholz’s defensive front is the strength of the team.  Vero’s passing attack better be clicking because the Bobcats will be tough to run on.  Also, Vero’s OT’s better have a good game because Buchholz’s Edge rushers will cut the QB in half.  Cocoa is Cocoa but Brady Hart and some of their offensive stars graduated.  Freak show  DE Javion Wilson will not be wrecking shop either.  Has Cocoa come close to replacing them?  That I don’t know.
    • Solid schedule and how do you see Vero Beach play out this season.
    • Vero Beach  8/15 KOC- Miami Norland? (Unconfirmed) 8/22 Eau Gallie 8/29 @ Gainesville Buchholz  9/5 Cocoa 9/12 PSL Centennial *district* 9/19 BYE 9/26 @ Fort Pierce Central *district* 10/3 Miami Booker T Washington  10/10 Rockledge 10/17 @ Pahokee 10/24 @ Treasure Coast *district* 10/31 Somerset Academy    
    • I'd guess this explains part of it. Click on the individual states to get teacher salaries and rankings. It's pretty depressing. https://www.nea.org/resource-library/educator-pay-and-student-spending-how-does-your-state-rank?utm_medium=paid-search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=rankings-estimates-report&utm_content=&ms=ads-rankings-estimates-report-se&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19606909831&gbraid=0AAAAAohHV9T4t3MJL2SvfUhgHNm6KzG2g&gclid=CjwKCAjw9uPCBhATEiwABHN9K6-kk_eZz3o8WH_0p68I2GXbK5-RwK51yIjeHCv92OGUIqWevw3gNRoCszQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds In addition, and again speculation on my part, but if you go to games around the state of Florida, and go to games in other southern states, the attendance numbers are in another universe. Way more often than not, the attendance for games here will be a thousand or less. Are Florida coaches required to teach a class and receive a stipend for their coaching duties? Do they receive money from booster clubs?
