Them Dillard Boyz will be starting off their 2024 season against them goons from dade county lol. 
 

these two teams last met in the KOC back in 2018 at traz Powell stadium (The Mecca) Look forward to this matchup. The tornadoes are gonna be a force to be reckoned with again this year. This will be a great test for my panthers before the game really counts the following week. But in a 305 Vs 954 battle you can best believe both teams are gonna go all out to win and leave the field with bragging rights.

There should be a 7 game Dade vs Broward showcase every year. Last year I would of set these matchups 

 

Miami Central vs Chaminade 

Norland  vs STA

Columbus vs AHP 

Homestead vs Coconut Creek 

Booker T vs Western 

Palmetto vs Monarch 

Cardinal Gibbons vs South Dade 

 

All of those would have been very good matchups that brought great crowds for sure. But I most def agree with you on this. With the hate between the two counties , that should have been made a tradition a long time ago.

Even tho this game isn’t apart of the broward showcase I do believe it’s going to be one of the better games that weekend with a big crowd on both sides. 

Dillard should win. BTW never bring a crowd. So crowd would be in Dillard's favor.

Oh wow that’s interesting to know. When we played them at Dillard in 2017 they brought a nice crowd & their band even came. 
 

hopefully with this being a 305 vs 954 matchup and the game of the year it creates a lot of buzz over the summer and draw a big crowd on game day.

We will see but I doubt it lol. Band not the same no more. It's only like 3 to 5 schools with decent size bands in dade now. BTW may have had 25 to 30 band members including auxiliary last year. Football wise they are young and alot left in spring. They still have skilled players. But the trenches might be an issue. Think they actually have a qb that transferred from Dillard.

Yeah our qb who was the starter last year and for our spring game this year transferred. He has a lot of upside but a turnover machine and holds the ball way to long that leads to unnecessary sacks.

he did slim down this year and is basically a running back at qb so i wish him the best at btw just not 8/16/24 lol. It’ll be interesting who we promote or get in to replace him.

And the way I see it if monarch band actually showed up for a spring game vs Dillard with their traditional type band of 20 students then btw band should most def be there lol. 
 

if anything I thought the little the band the better likely hood they come because they can all b thrown on 1 bus with the cheerleaders and travel on down lol.

Can’t wait. Dillard band is huge again as usual lol. I’m just ready for football season. But for now I guess I’ll enjoy the first pro championship trophy (hockey) that’s been brought to Ft. Lauderdale. 
 

as a heat fan I’ve been to the heat parades but that was in Mia. But to actually have a team from yo city be world champions it hit different. So I know the city gonna go crazy for the parade. Hockey & none hockey fans.

They are definitely going to stack those wr and call great plays. Players just have to execute.

Could be possible if BCAA and GMAC works together. BCAA already got Broward schools playing each other on a set schedule. That's why the Cocoa/Chaminade got canceled since the AHP/Chaminade game got set for the same week

I like this matchup the more I think about it. 
 

Even though this is a KoC, I think the kids will take it very seriously. Both these teams are in the same boat. Both want to get back into the upper tier of the region.

Both need to have a good season to attract talent around the area. This game could set the tone for the rest of the way

I agree with you heavily on that. Especially in dillards case.

    • I suddenly wish Bridgewater had known he was breaking the rules and kept it on the DL.  He obviously cares a lot about that program and those kids.  Hate to see a guy who cares like that get taken down while the true cheaters are out there doing their thing.
    • Yes, the free market should be allowed to draw the lines between amateurism and professionalism. The beauty of playing strictly for the love of the game will certainly be allowed to persist. And, kids and adults alike play A LOT of games for fun as it is. See adult rec leagues, intramurals etc. This includes those who've been able to become wealthy through playing the sport as well!  I think that, eventually, people like most all of us are going to recognize that it is preposterous to have teenagers getting paid to play high school sports, and/or get a free college education along with the extra compensation. Most of us have been fans of the game and of the school, not the "star" athletes. In the long run, I don't think there will be much of a market for paid teenager athletes. But, if someone is willing to part with their $ to allow a kid to be less poor, and that means that School A easily crushes the competition, I don't think that's a bad thing. It IS a thing that will cause a great many people to lose interest. And that will in turn diminish the market, which will of course mean kids aren't making any money anyway. At issue, as I keep harping on, is the fact that the "big time" sports world where NIL money is available is an entirely different, beast of an animal that K-12 schools and even universities are not equipped to manage. Nor should they be. Big time, for profit sports should be separated from schools. The mission of the two entities is competely misaligned. 
    • It is somewhat understandable for a guy who's passionate about the sport, and who reached very close to the pinnacle of it, to be dismissive of the many dimwits making the rules who have none of the above characteristics. And, he may also be considering the possibility that calling attention to the (perhaps) absurd nature of the rules and/or the dearth of funding in high school football may be worth it in the big picture. He's almost certainly going to have the opportunity to coach at the higher levels, and is not likely to be at Norhwestern for very long, anyway. He may make a bigger impact long-term/big picture doing this sort of thing than just winning a couple state titles and jetting.
    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.   
    • Yes of course big shot, how dare anyone try to help some young man out with a generous offer from his own pocket! Did the new pinstripe suits arrive yet from Brooks Brothers, F. Lee Bailey, Clarence Darrow Jr?!
