My son got his helmet yesterday. One week later the pads start popping. 3 weeks is the spring game. Then it’s summer workouts in 100 degree heat. 
 

There is no off-season!

Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.

It could just be me, but one trend I've noticed with this year's schedules is that more "good/very good/elite" teams are scheduling more games against other similar teams.  Although there are other possible explanations, my theory is that teams are leaning into the perception that strength of schedule is weighted more heavily in MaxPreps ratings than it was in the FHSAA Power Rankings.  I cannot confirm this as a fact, as I am still waiting for my MaxPreps decoder ring to arrive in the mail.  But it should be interesting to see how scheduling philosophies and the use of MaxPreps affects the selection and seeding of playoff teams.  In any event, only 4 more months until kickoff...

I think the more likely explanation is that the powerhouses who gets loads of transfers are now struggling mightily to fill out their schedules without scheduling similar programs. They sort of have to play each other...

There is most def a lot more goliath vs Goliath matchups this upcoming year. Which you love to see. 
 

perfect example. STA @ CHAMINADE I thought I would never see that matchup. Especially during a year where both teams are nationally elite. So that’s a game I can’t miss in person. 
 

then you got American heritage vs Miami central 

st Thomas vs American heritage 

St Thomas vs Columbus 

It’s going to be an action packed 2024 season.
