Hillsborough County vs Pinellas County

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.

    • 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.
    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
