Wow looks like it all comes down to the Mandarin/Columbus game!!!!!

Yes, I think that my picks are identical to those of @Perspective. That game is for the whole 9 yards. 

Two days ago I actually watched the Columbus vs Plant game. One matter of concern for Columbus: at approximately 4:30 into the 4th quarter, Columbus's QB left the field after being hit inbounds which forced him out of bounds where he collided with a Mandarin player. He was down for about a minute, had a very labored walk back to his sidelines where he was noticeably favoring one leg, and did not play for the rest of the game. 

If that injury carries over into the title game, it could make a difference where the outcome is concerned.

Good observation. Saw that and spoke with the QB position coach on Monday - luckily he's fine. Charley Horse it seems.

[CoachGraham]

For what it is worth....I've got

 

1R: Hawthorne

1S: Cardinal Mooney

1M: Chaminade-Madonna

2S: Cocoa

2M: Miami Norland

3S: St. Augustine

3M: St. Thomas Aquinas

4S: Venice

4M: Columbus

[nolebull813]

Here’s my picks for the heck of it 

Hawthorne 

Cardinal Mooney 

Chaminade 

Cocoa 

Norland 

St Aug 

STA

Venice 

Columbus 

[DarterBlue2]

Here are mine:

Hawthorne
Trinity Catholic Ocala
Chaminade
Cocoa
Norland - but I truly would not be shocked if Berkeley Prep upset them.
Mainland
STA
Venice
Columbus - but this will be a very good game, and Mandarin could 2 peat against them.

I'm curious how and when Columbus is making its way up to Tallahassee.  Bus or plane?  Today?

They left today 8:30am by bus.

Dang, that's a long-azz bus ride!  But smart to go up a day ahead.  That'll give them a chance to stretch their legs with a walk through someplace late today, I would think.

Yeah 9 hour bus ride. They will do a walk through today. Long drive home after the game - get home about 2am tomorrow. The 9 hours will be longer if it's without a trophy. Mandarin is no joke.

I think Cocoa left a couple of hours ago by bus as well.

Maybe they can drive thru Starke on the way to Tally and car pool with Bradford County

If they're making good time, they could even pick up Trinity Catholic Ocala, Hawthorne and MadCo along the way. 

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone has ever thought about light rail in Florida.

Nice job.   I thought it would be a higher scoring game.   Fortunately (for me), the tie-breaker won't come into play.

Right. 4M is the deciding factor. Too bad I didn't pick Cardinal Mooney lol

[nolebull813]

I’m 4 for 4 so far

I might put my consolation trophy right next to my plaque for air guitar champ of 2007.
