Interesting challenge!  Historically Hillsborough dominates these games.  Pinellas County ball is definitely ranked 8th in the 8 metro areas.  Just too many schools spreading the talent thin IMO.  Anyway, here's my predictions:

Durant over PHU (heart says PHU, head says Durant)

Jesuit over PPark

Hillsborough over Northeast

Largo over East Bay

SPHS over Gaither (SP QB is a monster and leads the state in rushing and TDs!)

Clearwater over Blake

Carrollwood Day over Northside

The closest matchup is Durant vs PHU.  I would lean PHU but we lost our heart and soul on defense and county player of the year two games ago in the win over hated East Lake.  It's tough to lose a player like that.

7 games in the 1st round between Hillsborough and Pinellas. This is an unofficial county challenge. These are the matchups 

Palm Harbor U vs Durant 

Pinellas Park vs Jesuit 

Northeast vs Hillsborough 

Largo vs East Bay

St Pete vs Gaither 

Clearwater vs Blake

Northside vs Carrollwood Day 

Palm Harbor U vs Durant - Too close to call. I'll go with the home team for PinellasFB.

Pinellas Park vs Jesuit- Jesuit

Northeast v. Hillsborough-Hillsborough

Larg v. East Bay- Largo

St. Pete v. Gaither- Gaither, but they are streaky so this could easily be Green Devils.

Clearwater v. Blake- Clearwater

Northside v. Carrollwood Day- Carollwood Day

Very interesting read. Thanks for posting. I was a college sophomore at the University of the West Indies when that game was played.

      Recruiting a coach

      By Proseteye · Posted

      Dillard - I'm not sure that hiring a HS football coach is the same as bringing a student on board the team. I think that any school can hire any football coach that they want any time they want. They can even hire a football coach that is currently coaching at another school. Where did you find that it's illegal?

      NIL coming to Florida? FHSAA requests public feedback

      By Proseteye · Posted

      IMO the FHSAA should simply return to the previous rules that if a student transfers from one school district to another they would be allowed to in accordance with Florida law. However, that student could only transfer for academic reasons and would have to remain out of sports for the first full season of that particular sport. As I understand it, when the Florida Legislature passed the law that allowed students to transfer anywhere and at anytime they had academics in mind. It was a law that allowed students to transfer from a poor performing school academically to a good performing school academically and not for the explicit purpose of playing a game. I wonder if the Florida Legislature fully understands what happens when students are allowed to transfer explicitly for sports and how some of those transfers seriously disturb the natural flow of events with the sports team of those schools. To make matters worse they are now proposing that some high school students, that just happen to be good at playing a game, be paid for their participation. Truly amazing.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
