I am sure the appeal will be turned down. As far as this being a black eye on all of 1A i disagree although i do think the FHSAA should do a better job of getting on top of something like this before

I do not know all the details and hate to speculate, but there is no question that if Pahokee played an ineligible player that title should be vacated. There are rules in place, and ALL programs have

...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.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By Dr. D · Posted

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh
