...that's the point of vacating it.

So who the new 2016 1a champs?

 

The fhsaa?

 

It basically means every 1a team went out there for nothing

 

One player didnt make difference in that playoff run

 

Just fine the school and put on probation

 

Don't strip them of the championship it hurts the class as a whole not just 1 team

Adults not doing their jobs casts a shadow on the success of the program, its' players, the school, and the community. Whoever (whether one or several people) dropped the ball should bear the consequences. Precedent is that when a team cheats, intentionally or not, the result is a forfeit except in championship games, in which case the championship is voided. Tough stuff, but leadership failures always affect more than just one or a few.

Ok then every other school should feel better to say they lost to cheaters and the cheaters were still the best?

 

No one comes out of this happy. You can't replay the season or the playoffs; the best that can be done is to punish those that can be punished and move on.

One player is a lapse in judgement not cheating

 

It devalues the championship to vacate it

I'm calling BS on this appeal.

 

The 5 year rule is arguably the least confusing rule out there.  If I am not mistaken even the players sign off on that rule.  

 

It is very simple.  You are allowed 4 years of HS eligibility.  I'm having trouble buying that it was an innocent mistake and the 19 year old student, assistant coaches, HC, AD, Principle,  Enrollment offices etc.....were not aware of the rule all season.  Think about it Pahokee's football history and tradition - you know damn well they knew the rules.  The HC has been there for years as a matter of fact.   As die hard as that community is about football, you don't think someone in enrollment, the principle, parents and fans knew that this young man was in his 5th year of HS?  

 

It does not matter if the player made a difference in the game or not.   It does not matter if it was an innocent error.   The rules are in place for a reason.

If you don't think 5th year HS athletes can change the outcome of HS athletics, than you never played a sport.  Respect the rules, Columbia.  I feel horrible for the rest of the team but you don't think any of the coaches or players knew that this player was in his 5th year of HS?  

 

Don't be ignorant.

Apparently there was a clerical, that Pahokee High School had nothing to do with... Palm Beach County School district plans on appealing once a decision has been formally filed...

 

How was the matter reported?

 

Clerical?  Did the athlete not understand that he was in his 5th year of HS?   Athletes even sign off on eligibility rules ....Did the athlete ever have the common sense to perhaps ask/tell a coach the situation?  Did any coaches, parents, players, or the athlete himself know that he was in his 5th year of HS?

 

If so, why not escalate the matter to the HC, AD or Principle over the summer or anytime before the playoffs started?  Wouldn't that make sense?

I don't like seeing a title vacated I would rather see Pahokee get to keep their title.  By the time a team reaches the title game FHSAA should know if there is a fifth year player.  I know it's up to the schools to self report or snitch on each other but come on FHSAA should at least check out the teams in the title game so this could be avoided.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • 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.
