All ways been the closer schools to bring cowards. Lake Brantley, Boone, Apopka, Dr. Phillips and Seminole out of the Orlando area. I'm surprised 7A wasn't bigger with Plant being from Tampa not that far away either. Miami schools always bring crowds and Pahokee brought a lot for a small school shoot damn near whole city of Pahokee showed up.

Texas pays out of state teams pretty well to travel, where most Florida schools can not afford to pay Texas teams to come here and play unless it is a team like IMG or one of the better privates.

Texas Football is about the money as well as the program. They know to have a good program, it comes with a price tag, and losing money on a game isn't in their best interest.

The vast majority of Texas teams have no incentive to come to Florida. They make thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on their home games. Why should they give that up to come play a Florida team? Even if they come to play Aquinas, IMG, Jax TCA, etc. 

 

Cali on the other hand -- well that's just cause the amount of distance between the two locations really. There are some smaller CA teams that are starting to look at a trip to Florida. Smaller schools but they do have pretty sizable athletic budgets/really good booster clubs.

Thanks for doing this..was going to post it...so yes attendance up slightly which is better than nothing.

 

I think I would say look for the FHSAA to possibly start having an all-day ticket next year. They have been doing this in other sports and now the FHSAA having the football finals finally in all one-weekend will likely allow for this to happen. The only reason they couldn't do it this year was the contract changes that had to be made thanks to the moves made by the ACC.

I was there and i dont think that is correct, Baker had at least 1200 to 1500 fans.  

 

Tigerfan1 are you serious? Are were you high on pain medication when you were at this game? Baker (may have) had 200 people there. But I can understand that, that was a 400 mile trek for them. Just make sure Trenton is ready next year.

    • 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.
