Pahokee schedule

PK lost 3 starters to Moore Haven to play for former coach Hendrix…As a 1A school replacing 5/6 starters, especially bigs (linemen) is gonna be a major issue.

That’ll NEVER happen because  Clewiston is in another county (Hendry). Something DRASTIC has to happen for Pahokee High and Glades Central to combine, because there’s to much tradition and history in both of those schools. The closest it came was Glades Central had to play their home games at Pahokee High be their schools/stadium was being built.

I guess if enrollment continued to drop for both schools that could be the only way I would imagine it happening.

According to my cousin, whose daughter attends the Pahokee IB program, many parents are trying to get their kids to Pahokee because of the academics. As 561 said, Pahokee has had one of the best graduation rates in the county in the last 5 years and is a nationally ranked high school. However, this is something I didn't know! 561 Did you know that Pahokee was the overall state runner-up in robotics last year? When she told me this, I was like, wow, and neither the district nor the community pushed that out. I just moved to overpriced Tampa 5 months ago, and if that had happened here, it would have been a big deal for parents and this area of Tampa!

Oh, I forgot, because of the high demand for better academics, Pahokee enrollment is not hurting!

Pahokee is a predominantly black neighborhood so unless it's something going on that's negative people won't talk about it. Those that don't know but Booker T. Washington, Central, Edison and Northwestern are all inner city schools with a B ranking out of Miami. Now do you hear people talking about it nope unless it's football.

The community knows about the accomplishments of the Pahokee Robotics program, it’s just the local media won’t cover it, even was the only school with a 100% graduation rate with no fanfare. We had 4 girls in middle school a few years ago that won the 4x400 junior national track meet

Yall still a year away. We replaced more kids than GC and I said 7-3/8-2 for PK. GC will make the playoffs then have a first/second round exit and that’s not the standard for GC or PK

Roster wise, Pahokee looks like a 1A school this year. OL/DL depth is gonna be an issue this year. Central and Newman look to be the toughest because of the depth/talent that we don’t have 

You talking about Glades Central right lol
