Preseason outlook

[954gator 480]

Ok so I stole this from 181p but it talks a little about Plant and some of their players.   I think they're gonna be pretty good. (And they were very solid last year IMO)

Another big player for Plant.   4* OT transfer from Illinois.  OSU commit.

Like the only team even close to them talent in their District last few years been raines, the rest of the district were no where close to Bolles, i see 2 teams better than them and then you throw in a team like Bishop Kenny who no pushover you got a far tougher road then normal and no Corky Rogers will cause a adjustment period that i feel holds Bolles back in 2017

True, but Westside is not a very good team. Bishop Kenny is only a 500 team. Ponte Vedra lost a bunch. Their QB, most RB's, most WR's. Yes, Corky will be missed. However, I think he built up a dynasty including a compliment of excellent assistant coaches. Bolles may just not miss a beat. Bolles will have competition from TCA and Lee. Of course moving up to 5A will be a challenge. However, Bolles has a huge roster that I think will allow them to go stride by stride with the bigger teams.

Bishop Kenny correct me if I'm wrong beat St Augustine in spring and was in playoffs very recently 

 

Everyone sleeping on ponte vedra, they seem to have built something there and they not about to just kindly hand tca and Bolles the district without putting up a fight lol

 

There a huge target on Bolles and tca

 

You know every 5a team gunning for them because they don't plan to let either team walk over them like they been doing in 3a and 4a last few years

Columbia

Have you been out to the team's practices yet? I usually wait until they go into pads in a few days. Gives you a better idea of what they really look like. I think that the Celtics are going to truly surprise a lot of people including Jessica. Have been in contact with Coach Sturdivant and this season will be nothing like the previous two. Can't give up the reasons, but they are numerous. We go against powerhouse 7A Bucholtz in the KO Classic which will kind of give us an idea where we are, although a classic is not a season game.  Will also give you guys an idea as you play Bucholtz  September 9th.  Your Classic against Raines should definitely give you a clue if Columbia can compete with the tough guys although they are in 4A.

I saw a few practices in the spring but haven't seen them since the spring game and probably won't see them until Raines game so I'm hoping they show the potential that is on the roster

Decent list Columbia but Mater Academy is actually in Dade.  If you are looking for a 7A Broward team to slide in there that may fit well consider South Broward.

At the same time though.....It is not like anyone in 5A north played a harder schedule or anything even close to TCA's last year.

Do you 

I got no problems with TCA's scheduling.  They played a very solid non-conference including the 2A, 4A State Champions and IMG.  Outside of AHP, Jackson and Hallandale tell me a  5A team that played a harder schedule?  Particularly 5A North.

Do you think Ponte Vedra's path to states combining the regular season and playoffs was any more "earned" then TCA's?

Does TCA have a "huge target" on them from the menacing 5A North or is 5A North as a whole actually the one in for a shock with TCA joining?

 

My point is if you switch schedules with 2016 TCA and Ponte Vedra I think TCA ends up right back at states - with relative ease and a little less sore and beat up from the regular season....

When i talked about weak road i was talking more bolles then tca but 3a north been one of weakest regions past few years but yes tca did make up for it by playing top notch competition in regular season and probably could have won 5a north 

 

But they wouldn't average a running clock through the playoffs like they been doing in 3a north regional playoffs lol

 

However i do feel 2016 ponte vedra would have been talented enough to beat 2016 tca, would have been close though,  probably similar score to the state finals

 

Also keep in mind even though tca talented (despite probably being slightly  down from last year) they are coming into new area with new oppenents so they still could have a potential learning curve from facing unfamiliar opponents, or they may handle it with ease,  you never know but it does leave us with a uncertainity and I'm not the type of person to instantly dismiss the 5a North as sacrifical lambs to tca or to Bolles

Agree.  Not dismissing anyone.  I actually think that is going to be a interesting District race...I  just think TCA is used to playing opponents every year on the level of a Ponte Vedra or anyone in 5A North.

 There is nothing wrong with a Bartram Trail type team  being your biggest game every year but TCA traditionally plays 3-5 teams a year on that level or better...

To be fair ponte vedra better than bartram trail but i got the point 

 

But honestly ponte vedra did go undefeated up until state and then put up one heck of a fight with AHP so i think ponte vedra could have handled a tougher schedule but idk if this year ponte vedra gonna be strong enough to beat tca but it will be a interesting District 

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,361]

Oh nvm i misread that lol

 

I thought you said nothing wrong with bartram trail type team being in the biggest game of year lol

I think 4 looks like a pretty good place to slot them, although you really couldn't go all that wrong putting them at 3.
