We went to a game at Camden Co probably 10 years or so ago. Camden Co v Valdosta. Nice facility and they had a huge crowd. 

Camden plays the worst Florida teams they can find. It’s disgusting how they operate in that regard. Most of South Georgia does. It will be interesting to see if it’s systemic or the coaches before him lacked the testicular fortitude to play good even competition

Camden beat a State Champ Miami Central if memory serves correct.

Yeah about 15 years ago. Im talking at least a decade. If you want to go back all time I’m sure they played some decent teams over the course of Thor history. But the last 10 years have been atrocious.

They haven't been nearly as good the last 10 years or so.

I'm not sure what that has to do with why Roland should or shouldn't take the job.  Plenty of community support in Kingsland,  and if I had to guess, a better paying job than Mainland. I've seen plenty of Mainland games over the years, including Maronto's final game after the prostitution sting and they never had the kind of turnout that I saw in Kingsland that night.

I don’t think I mentioned one thing about Roland or his desire to take the job. I simply said Camden has systemically for at least a decade went out of their way to find the worst FL opponents they can find and that’s not an opinion, the coach said it in his own words. He said he doesn’t want to play a good team because his region is so tough he doesn’t want to be banged up. 
 

The issue falls on the Florida teams as well. The coaches prostituting their teams for money. It’s disgusting. 
 

What I did say about Roland is it will be interesting to see how he schedules when he gets his chance. If he gets his chance

Correct !  I see "Trollbull" is still at it, talking trash. Drove up for that barn burner about 50 miles north of Jacksonville in the sticks. Rockets couldn't stop the run and they couldn't stop the pass. Camden 45-42. I also believe they came down to STA that season or the next.

See your ID says Ft Pierce. Ever see Randy "Sweetback" Walker play ?  That Ft Pierce Central alum was the best running back I ever saw live... Quick and smooth as he glided through the defense (Sweet).

The current players were in diapers when that game was played. I never said they hadn’t played a good team in their entire history. I said the last decade they have played the worst of the worst from FL

No, we've only lived in The Fort for six years. Did he play at Central or Westwood?

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

      Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
