Armwood vs. Lake Gibson

[DisabledAccount]

To schedule an out of county opponent in Hillsborough county the team wanting to schedule a different opponent has to find an opponent for the team they want to drop off the schedule. The county schedules the district opponents first, then tries to schedule games close in proximity, and then the top teams play each other. So, say armwood is scheduled to play sickles. If they wanna drop sickles to play an out of county opponent. Armwood has to find a game for sickles also. That's the hard part

Guess that why Armwood rarley plays out of county

And with the county having centralized funding, the school must provide for their own travel if they wanna schedule a different opponent than what the county assigned. So pretty much unless you're Plant then most Hillsborough county schools can't afford to travel

Are they allowed to host a team without having to find a team for the one they drop?

I believe Polk County is the same way. No funding for out of county non-district games.

Winter Haven at Osceola, Kathleen at Viera and Bartow at Bishop Moore this year to name a few so I don't think Polk is the same

[Sirwinzaot]

Either way if they travel or host the game, they still have to find an opponent for the team they're dropping.

Great win for Lake Gibson.  

[Nulli Secundus]

I second that!

[DisabledAccount]

Heck of a win

 

We now guaranteed 2 new teams in 6a title game

[BrowardHandicapper]

Agree.  Very good win for Lake Gibson.  

[DarterBlue2]

Lake Gibson has clearly improved a lot since Spring. I thought they looked like a decent team then; but would not have seen them going past the third round at best. Now it looks like they make the  semifinal game if not beyond.

Wow this to me is a shocker... Know let's see if Vanguard can close that gap after what happened 2 weeks ago, regular season doesn't carry over into playoffs so we shall find out next week

[NewEraFball]

I actually made the trip to see this game and let me tell you, this LG team has the fight of a hog in it. There were numerous times this game should have gone toward Armwood and this team kept making plays. Their defense was absolutely stifling for much of the game. One of the best defenses i have seen in a long time. I'm sure most Armwood folks would agree with me also. Offense struggled at times due to Armwood's defense being so fast, but they made the plays when they needed them. Next week vs. Vanguard should be fun considering their last meeting 3 weeks ago. But, this LG team looks hungry.

Let's say Mainland does beat Carol City next week are they the new 6A state champs. Central, Armwood and Naples are all out.

Y'all keep sleeping on CC lol

From what I hear Carol City's offense is not very good. Mainland is a lot more balanced. I know they will also have a much more difficult time scoring to get to Carol City than any other opponent that they played. However if the teams are basically even defensively and Mainland has a better offense I will lean towards mainland

[peezy28]

i watched my squad lose composure and give up penalty after penalty to Charlotte... They are a solid ball club but they don't be able to stack up with either Mainland or CC.

 

Not to mention their top 2 players could be facing suspension after the FHSAA gets the film of some funny business which the officials didn't call.

It's all on their qb.. If the qb is on, they will score points and I beloved their other rb will be playing this game as he sat out the last 3 games.. That's a 2 headed running game and if Mainland stack the box , watch out... the only thing that bothers me about Mainland is their schedule.. Don't tell me Well they played Dr. Philips ... That's why I wish they could of founded a way to make up that Cocoa game... I don't think Mainland been hit in the mouth yet. Maybe cause their that good or that weak schedule...it's at Mainland so they will be the favorite..

Are you basing that statement on Lake Gibson or Vanguard representing the North better than Armwood has in the past?

[DisabledAccount]

No but I was liking the sound of mainland vs lake Gibson

 

If you look at that matchup it looks like a game that will be close
