Maxpreps ranked Vero #1 in 8A that's pretty much cursing us in the playoffs now, not sure how they came up with that one as much as I love my hometown can't support that ranking when you look at the other teams, top 5 yes, number 1... not so much:

One positive trelle is I don't see the kids at vero getting an inflated ego over something like that. When I was coaching at FPC the year we beat manatee in the second round, the following USA today super 25 had us at 25. It was the kids of death, the kids essentially thought plant would bow down to us and that wasn't the case. From my limited time around coach J he will still have the kids keeping things business as usual.

Maxpreps rankings are irrelevant in long run

 

This is playoffs win or go home

 

Rankings can fix themselves during the off-season

I know I just hate high ranks call it superstitious. I played for Vero back in '03. Beat Pahokee in the kickoff classic, went 10-0 regular season, won first 2 playoff games and then USA Today ranked us like #17 in the nation, next game after the rankings Venice knocked out our asses out from under us I think 35-10, when we had been scoring like an average of 48 ppg and def was only giving up like 8 ppg. It only gives the other team a bigger target and makes your team get bigger heads I like flying under the radar myself. Rankings are numbers I'd rather be #12 in 8A but bring home a championship then #1 in the playoffs and be one and done ya know.

Hopefully so Bo, as I said though I was there and we had always played level headed but when your 16-18 years old you just knocked off your county rival with that defense and you get ranked like that afterwards, I can see it still getting the best of kids, it did us. Hopefully it doesn't but it easily can.

I hear you

 

I accually think Columbia got a better shot to get to states this year just because we flying under the radar so I enjoy being unranked means no pressure compared to being top ranked in region like last year

I know it has to do with Vero beating Sebastian River with 28 points but im not ignoring the rest of the schedule because Vero hasn't played a team with dangerous offensive weapons.

Yall think Ridge is better than Sebastian River because they were undefeated and we beat them

Don't know if I would say better because I don't know exactly how good Sebastian River is. But watching Ridge I really like this team, very similar to Osceola they have a physical o-line (that dominated Osceola for the first three quarters) alongside a strong RB, and athletic QB
