Honestly schedule kinda weak for someone of sta level they don't look like they will be that tested come playoffs but considering there not many teams in state much less 7a who can go toe to toe with them it likely won't matter

[DB4]

I agree. I think they should play a marquee Dade County team in addition to St John Bosco. And add an elite team from another part of the state. Schedule doesn't do much for me at all.

Outside of SJB they won't be tested at all. You can only hope Deerfield Beach puts up a competitive game, which they usually do against STA.

[Zoe Boy]

I called it last year after that BTW game.. They will not play a dade team when their competitive ... Shame on STA...

[“PANTHER NATION(CODE BLUE)]

This is PATHETIC!!! I don't understand why don't St Thomas just do what iMG do and play all the top teams in the nation schedule as many teams as they won't they just won't be able to play for a championship another 10-0 season and another lopsided playoff run as they win the title... Also didn't new playoff format starts this year where the tougher the team the more points you get if you win????

Only really matters for teams who can't win district in the higher classes

Only three games on that Schedule that will be close. Deerfield, Miramar and Bosco.

An IMG type schedule can get expensive. I would think they can pick up a Central, BTW or Northwestern fairly easily.

Those guys would at least generate some excitement ! Why is Stranahan on the schedule ?  They were a 5a doormat !

Probably to pad stats and record

Well it should catch up to them in the postseason then, right?

If they face the right team on right night it very well can

[Proseteye]

Ever stop to think that their schedule may be the result not of what teams WILL play them but what teams WONT play them. IMG has a very hard time scheduling in Florida teams and would imagine it would be the same situation for STA. Does anyone know whether Central, BTW, MNW, or any other top Florida team, has even attempted to schedule STA? 

[DisabledAccount]

Does sta still need a kickoff game?

[BrowardHandicapper]

Based on that logic, that can happen - regardless of schedule.

 

I think it's safe to say STA knows what the he11 they are doing. There are other schools out there that actually do pad their records ( actually historically speaking) with wins and stats but have basically no hardware to show for it. I'll just leave it at that- if you catch my drift, Mr. "Winningist program in North Florida History" .

We wont know the effect of the schedule until their season is complete

 

If they fall in playoffs or state would you think that having a light schedule hurt them? Hmm?

Do you realize that several of those non-district games are contracted?

Do you even understand how a contract works?

 

Do you think STA has control that the contracted scheduling of Flanagan goes from Nationally elite to losing 10 FBS caliber players to Central, Chaminade and AHP in 13 months?

 

If Columbia had this schedule you would be calling it a "hard" schedule, wouldn't you?

Accually i don't think Flanagan that bad a game

[DisabledAccount]

I don't think our current schedule is even a good one

Last year schedule was more tougher and still got question mark on kickoff classic 

[DisabledAccount]

Kickoff probably will end up being us stuck playing some team like duval charter or something unless by some miracle they find someone willing to travel to us

[BrowardHandicapper]

STA can't control when teams like Miramar, Flanagan and Deerfield go sour and struggle to make the playoffs , yet may have been nationally ranked the previous year.

 

STA's schedule could be better but a lot of the non-district games are contracted. Now watch when STA's contract is up with these teams they will try to play a team in a new series that appears to be on the up and they will only be good for a year. It's a cycle for the strong public schools in Broward.

 

Then you have a team like McArthur on the schedule that was probably on par with the level of Venice last year and it goes unnoticed like a doormat or something....

If I changed the name of McArthur to Venice, would it look better to you?

 

As for Stranahan..my only opinion on that is Stranahan is the neighboring rival next door. The schools ardown the street from one another. Back in the 80s and perhaps some of the 90s , I believe Stranahan actually was more competitive...

[BrowardHandicapper]

That game will be very ugly. Piper is better than Flanagan right now and perhaps Deerfield Beach as well.

Things change quick here....and it's only March.

McArther might accually be better than Venice

So Flanagan likely won't sniff playoffs?

[BrowardHandicapper]

My point is STA has had better schedules and I would have liked them to play a Dade power again but I this this particular year the flexibility may have been a little limited due to contracts already in place.

If STA is shooting for national props and were to run the table.. they better hope a few of those teams make deep playoff runs- which right now looks unlikely outside of possibly Miramar to me.

[BrowardHandicapper]

Doubt it...I'm thinking Cypress Bay or Western in that two spot in that District but I won't count out Plantation rebounding. Steve Davis has returned after a year off and Plantation traditionally is a sound team.
