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

    • 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? 
    • 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.
    • In the words of Chris Rainey... 
    • Independent contractors....   What will go wrong with this?
    • 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.
