Where the love for the Kings Academy Lions? Undefeated regular season 8-0 and not a mention anywhere. I know they play in the Southeast Conference but wins against Benjamin, Pinecrest and Glades Day. Only giving up an average 5.5 points a game and scoring an average 40+!

They have been very sound all year.  I would love to see Kings Academy join the Independent Gold Coast Conference and swap places with Inlet Grove to be honest with you.  I think Kings would fit in well in that Independent Conference that has a few decent teams.  Inlet Grove is simply not fit to be in that conference with all due respect.

Kings Academy versus Marathon will unfortunately be a bloodbath in Round 1 of the Southeastern Independent League playoffs....The fact Marathon is in the playoffs is frankly-  atrocious.....

 

I have been following Kings Academy but due to lack of competition in that Independent Conference, it is very hard to stay interested.  The Gold Coast Conference is much more competitive.

The North is very competitive with Benjamin , Pinecrest and Glades. The south not so much. Still doesn't take away from the amazing season they have had. Should get more respect and mentions.

You could say it is "competitive" and those teams are decent -  relative to the conference.  The conference lost a lot when they lost Coral Springs Charter, Calvary Christian, Westminster Academy and Pompano Beach in 2015.

 

Not to take anything from Kings Academy undefeated season but do you think Kings Academy is also dominating because of the above teams leaving the conference for the Gold Coast Independent Conference?

 

 

 

A couple of changes I noticed in the Southeast Independent League :

 

 

Benjamin 2015 SE Indepenent record 1-8   2016 SE Independent record 6-2 (thus far)

 

Kings Academy 2015 SE Independent record  3-6    2016 SE Independent record  8-0 (thus far)

 

 

Either way, Kings Academy has had a awesome season and from what I can see the Kings Academy has only had 1 losing season in the last 12 years.  Again, it would be great to get the Kings Academy in the Gold Coast Conference ...spread the word!

    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.
