Seeing these teams pop up on 11 man schedules. Anyone  else? 

 

Kipp Bold City (Jacksonville)

Sarasota Christian 

Old Plank Christian (Jacksonville)

KIPP is new and will be fielding a team for sure.

Sarasota Christian and Old Plank are moving up from SSAA 8-Man to SSAA 11-Man

Innovation in Orlando will be the newest public high school in the state.

In 2026 Sounside in Gulf Breeze will open as the Soundside Hurricanes. First new school in Santa Rosa County in 25 years when Navarre opened in 2001.

Ok updated. Surprising that more public schools haven’t opened with all the new people that come to FL. I read something that 1,000 per day moved here in 2023

Broward has a lot of under utilized public school space right now, they are talking about actually closing some schools at various levels. I think the charters and private schools are taking many of the kids these days.

Understandable. I love the school choice idea. It will only help public schools. Once the privates take enough kids, the public schools could tighten ship and only keep the best teachers. It will be addition by subtraction

Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.

Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available

The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship

Innovation has a decent shot at going 2-0. They are the underdog, but have a chance to beat a relatively weak Oak Ridge team.

Their schedule has alot of winnable games. Colonial, Space Coast, University, East River, Cypress Creek, Lake Buena Vista and Windermere.

That's smart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is very interesting to me. If they go  6-4 or better this year, do they pull at least *some* kids from other schools in the coming years? Maybe some kids will want to go to the shiny new school for other reasons (such as facilities), but with no program history not many kids will want to go for the athletic program itself. I am fascinated to see how it plays out going forward.

Yeah when you are really bad it’s best to find other really bad teams to play to get your wins up. 
 

Sunlake just north of Tampa went 1-9 the past 2 years. But this year they scheduled 4 of the worst teams they can find. They will go at least 3-1 against them and that winning can breed  excitement and momentum in the offseason. So having a winning season can do multiple things for a perennial loser. It can keep your kids from transferring. It can motivate kids in your school to go out for football. And it can attract other local talent who feels they can win at your program. 
 

I never understood why most losing teams don’t do this.

I totally agree with this philosophy.  It's much easier to build a program when you have some wins vs going 1-9 every year against a tougher schedule.  Even going free lance for a couple of years to build is fine.

    • Bayside went up to play Lowndes and lost 50-0 and 69-0 in back to back years for $25,000 total. I think that’s why so many garbage FL teams play good GA teams. 
    • And did he “beg”? Or did he simply ask one sentence and see if anyone can help with fundraising? Every single team we have been apart of from 4 years old to high school has fund raised. I don’t remember begging anyone for money. But I guess I’m not a millionaire who coaches a transfer factory. Lol. 
    • ALL programs in the state of Florida would love to have more money, and really need more. Teddy happens to have enough name recognition and reach- including wealthy current and former NFL players- that he may well succeed in getting money. Whether he succeeds or not, he's calling attention to the problem. (Of course, if the number of schools investing in football programs was sharply reduced, and all of the money which has been spread thin among poor programs was consolidated towards a smaller number of super programs, those super programs would be financed much more effectively.)
    • Could be for kids out of the zone who attend the school who are in a family situation that makes it extremely difficulty to attend practices, school, games etc all the time. Could be a single parent who works 2 jobs who has a kid transfer to MNW in hopes that the exposure could earn him a scholarship. We have no idea unless it’s explained. Ubers are expensive as hell. More than taxis used to be. My son’s school is 8 miles from our house. He needed a ride one day for football practice so we looked up Uber and they wanted $40!!
    • I don't know why this state is so far behind every other state football powers regarding coaching salaries and financial support?  More evidence is Teddy having to use $14k of his own money last year.  On a side note, isn't paying for uber rides an impermissible benefit?  I mean if you didn't recruit kids out of your area, they wouldn't need those rides anyway Teddy...  but I digress.  https://www.the-sun.com/sport/14663753/teddy-bridgewater-miami-northwestern-donations/#:~:text=The free agent quarterback Bridgewater,team%2C the Miami Northwestern Bulls.&text=Bridgewater made a long plea,by the school through donations.
