Niceville??

What is up with Niceville late season collapse?

 

Started 8-0 and was considered by most to be best panhandle team and finish with 3 straight losses

 

What caused this to happen?

 

Was it players being burned out at end of season? Was it coaching? Injuries?

 

 

I think if Niceville was considered by most as "the best" panhandle team it was very slightly....

 

I don't know if "collapse" is a fair word....Their final 4 games were against quality teams.  They  beat a better than their 5-5 record Pine Forest team 27-14, they lost @ what we know is now a very good Crestview team 21-27, lost 28-42 to a very good Navarre team, and lost 28 - 35 @ very solid St. Augustine team.

They simply hit a stretch of teams in the final 3 games on their level or better and got beat. Two of the games on the road...  It happens.

Only reason I used word collapse was went from 8-0 to 8-3 to end season

 

But I agree the teams they lost to were good teams, but would you agree them finishing out with 3 straight losses after starting 8-0 was a little bit of a surprise?

 2 of the 3 games were on the road...all 3 teams they lost to are 2nd round teams.  A little surprised I guess...

St Augustine's QB really shined and stopped the Eagles. When is the last time Niceville went 0-3, 3 weeks in a row like this? Last year Tate put a stopper to Niceville (although, not in the first round). 

 

As for what happened? Could speculate. I'm not sure.

Their best playmaker got injured early in that game against Pine Forest but I'm not sure if he played after that game. Hard to say what exactly happened but none of those games were bad losses. All the panhandle teams were pretty even...West Florida, Navarre, Gulf Breeze, Niceville, Escambia, Pine Forest and Tate.

    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
