Pahokee VS Baker

Recommended Posts


Baker always has a solid program.  They generally have around 20 seniors and 20 juniors every year.  They are well coached and have a lot of financial backing. They seem much more like a private school than typical 1A.  Awesome facilities and the most polite fans you will find anywhere.  Baker seemed to have issues with athletic teams in the past but Blountstown has some great ones and they beat them so maybe Baker has solved their only weakness. My gut would tell me Pahokee big,  but Baker has definitely earned their spot so who knows.

Pahokee is a better caliber team, baker hasn't played a team like them besides blountstown who would be going to state if baker lost. 

 

The gators seem to fight a way to win, they stopped a critical drive at the goal line in one game, the rb had a 64 yard drive going against blountstown to score last friday, logan rickmon a wr had a 4th and 9 conversion play that kept the drive alive and later baker scored. The qb as quoted from the paper said "games are won in the 4th quarter". 

 

Baker has the fight in them, but can they top pahokee? It'll be very interesting to see. i pick baker because panhandle.

Baker historically struggles with athletic teams their win against Blountstown really surprised me.  I hope they do win it all because they run a good program and I will always pull for panhandle teams unless they're playing Armwood.  A little side note about how nice the people are there, I was helping out when my son played for Franklin County at Baker and these 2 women came up to me when we were unloading from the bus and asked me how many players we had.  After the game they met me at the bus with goodie bags for all of our players and staff, some great homemade cookies and brownies.  I am not sure we would have gotten them if we won lol.  I am easily swayed with cookies so Go Baker.

I don't know much about Baker,but I've actually seen Pahokee up close and personal. I'll just say this no team in the playoff has made it to the Championship isn't a fluke. 

 

Pahokee is a team with great athletes and has played  good teams  Wayne Hill, Boca Raton, Glades Central (Rival), Newberry,Trenton, and Madison County. Providing that the Blue Devils don't make costly mistakes through the game, Baker will have their hands full against Pahokee.

 

Pahokee-28

Baker-14

Final

    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
