Okeechobee 7-1, for real?

Recommended Posts


I watched a little film on Okeechobee.   From what I saw, they had a small roster (under 30) and their OL and DL overall seemed a little undersized to me.  However, they do pound the the ball  pretty effectively on the ground.  They also have a few tall athletic WRs, a solid secondary, and a very good K/P.  

 

I don't know the history of Okeechobee but of the top of my head this is their best team in a long, long time....  I think they are good enough to win and finish the regular season @ Clewiston.  The will will likely get shown the door @ Mainland by halftime in the first round though the following week.

To answer the original question.

 

No they are not for real. There are 34 undefeated teams in the state right now. And most of them suck. The majority of them played horrendous schedules.

 

Like Hollywood McArhur. They haven't played a soul and the first real team they see in the playoffs will put a running clock on them

 

That's what's great about the playoffs. You can't hide behind a pathetic regular season schedule anymore

    • 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 .
