It will to a extent

 

They will be challenged before the playoffs so will know what sta can do to them by seeing what img does

 

Los just thinks only good Florida teams are in broward and Dade County plus img

 

He dont respect any other teams as having talent

I'm pretty sure he added Trinity Christian on that list

Florida ain't a top 3 state in talent bc of 2 counties

 

Regardless of what los thinks other areas have good teams, they just not as stockpiled in D1 talent like other areas

And who said 2 counties only had the talent? I would say dade,Broward,Palm Beach, Orlando area, Tampa , and Duval,brevard l, and Daytona....

Is Los really wrong with his statement that he applied to Venice?

 

Tell us about all of the talent that Venice has on their roster.....

Enlighten us please.

 

How can he possibly know how playing img will affect Venice?

 

The only top team Venice played came in 4th round according to everyone here but had they played a challenging schedule they might been more prepared so we will find out this year if playing tougher helps Venice, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, we'll see in November 2017....assuming they are in the post-season...As far as I'm concerned if you are undersized and a slow team overall, you are going to have problems playing most elite teams in FL. Now go watch The Karate Kid again...

this is funny

 

remember the crazy fan after the 46-8 STA game?

she's going to hate her life this season

can't wait for the IMG post game interview, watch out coach!

Remember her well.....

 

How could we forget her....She was the most fierce and intense person that night representing Venice football....

 

So fierce I think she may want to even suit up at MLB for STA in the future....

I don't think she would ever play for St Thomas unless she is Benedict Arnold personified.

Last year the team did well until the STA game. Until then the games that were on the schedule were thought to be good tests. It just didn't turn out that way.

Lakeland in the spring game 14-13 loss

Plant in the KOC win 38-25

Camden County turned out to be a dud

Manatee who typically is good win 42-7

Braden River 1st time win 42-35

Braden River 2nd time win 64-42

The toughest part of our schdeule was and still is the weak district we have to play. Team like Palmetto who was pretty good has not made the playoffs because of Braden River and Venice. We are not and will not be on the level of STA and the likes of IMG. Its just not going to happen. Do we have good players sure, but we don't fill out a team of monsters or athletes that will wow anyone.

 

Long story short is why not try to schedule opponents who are like the team you need to try to compete with. Do we match up well with IMG, NO. We didn't match up well with STA but tried to take a good positive attitude into that game. Just didn't work out on our end.

 

Looks like coach is trying to schedule teams that would help prepare the team. Booker T Washington game couldn't happen. In that game it would be the same.

 

Continue to do the same things and expect the same results.

Every team in Manatee County usually plays very well during the year until they play STA.

 

STA is an elite team with very good athletes year in and year out.

 

Manatee got lucky one year at home with a solid defense that helped them take down the beast.

 

If there were five more minutes on the clock, that game might have turned out different as STA just ran out of time.

 

Look at the other five times Manatee played STA.

 

Loses and most of them significant loses other than the 2OT loss down in FTL which was the result of CJK's terrible late play calling.

 

It's very hard to compete with the level of talent those schools have in the area especially STA.

 

Not a chance Venice will ever beat STA IMHO.

Manatee in those days was at a much higher level than any venice team since they won it in 2000 (year?)   I wouldn't say Manatee got lucky either, they played hard.   That was a VERY good STA team they beat.

I agree Manatee was way better then what Venice ever brought to the table last year.. Manatee beat Central, University School when they were elite and almost beat Bosco

      New "Open Division" proposal

      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.

      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!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      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
