@muckboy561 you always seem to have a problem with these, what's the issue? 

I would post my class top 10s but that would expose my identity but I can tell you that you got a few teams way too high and it's gonna cost you games in the Pickems in the next few weeks as a result

I suppose we will see. I see a lot of trash talking often but not a whole lot of people putting themselves out there. Hmmm

You don't think Glades Central is top 5 in the 2A?

Not really. When they play Bishop Verot maybe they can jump up but until then...they haven't done enough for me to think they deserve to be in that Top 5. They're in the 6-8 range. Not a bad team but they've played teams with a combined 4-10 record, including a 1R school. Not enough data to have them Top 5.

I put myself and my work out there plenty but I have my reasons for not being as involved and public on this board

As an outsider, that sounds like an oxymoron as my reason for participating on this forum is to "Be Involved and Public".  Otherwise, who is promoting a team from Kissimmee on this forum?  No one.  Obviously, I have no reason to hide my identity either.

Well fortunately I don't post to promote a team anymore because it's not my responsibility 

They got a social media team and a local paper, if they wanted my help to promote them they could have asked for my help but I'm not gonna beg 

It's easier to just focus on what little involvement I currently have with athletics in this state which is mostly just watching a game each week and doing rankings but my identity is irrelevant and people tend to overlook the accuracy of the rankings because of my past reputation

I also see where athletics is currently shifting to a more private format and I'm getting a leg up and moving on that because personally I think high school athletics as we know it will soon be extinct or severely endangered and replaced by a more private format as that's what the current state leadership wants

The pendulum swings until it reaches a certain point, and then the pendulum swings back.   That's the way of the world.

The pendulum will only swing if the state of Florida has a political shift and a leadership change 

As long as the FHSAA is run by the current individuals it won't swing anywhere but off a cliff the same direction they are driving it 

What's happening now is exactly what they always wanted and people didn't see it until it was too late to speak up and even now most still don't think the FHSAA and the state leadership are connected to the decisions

Promoting OHS is not my responsibility either, but promoting any team is giving an opinion which you seem to be fine doing.  Just not taking ownership of that but acting like the tough guy hiding in the basement.  Some of your opinions I agree with and others I do not but respect your right to express them, OPENLY!

When you have former members of this board who go onto the sidelines of the Games to seek out information on other posters and can still use people on the site to talk on behalf of them despite being banned it becomes a different issue 

Me not talking openly is because I don't trust certain individuals on this site who still have access and posting privileges

Wow, didn't realize expressing an opinion on this site was that dangerous.  Might be a good idea to comment under different "Handle/Nickname" every few months to evade detection. :lol:

If true, that is truly an insane thing to do....God speed to you pal.

As much as I’ll be rooting for your Raiders, I think they’d get beat soundly. Comparing their SOS  with Verot isn’t  comparable. BUT that’s why they play the games!!!!!

      Never said that or implied it. Just stating from the broadcast. The angle and view that was being shown there was no clear cut infraction on the following 2 punt attempts. And what made it more confusing was that the commentators basically implied the exact same logic

      You can make an argument that the Metro /Suburban years were very comparable.  I may be a prisoner of the moment by saying they were the best.  One of my favorite board names is @imjustafan2 because I get into the X’s and the O’s but really I enjoy the whole experience of a high school game.   I really enjoyed the Cardinal Mooney game for reasons I included in my post.  I anticipated Bolles would make a strong comeback but it never materialized. Cardinal Newman upsets Chaminade.  That game wasn’t decided until it ended.     STA took it easy on Lakeland.  Awful game.   West Boca Raton destroys West Broward.  Pretty highly anticipated but was a dud. Raines with the upset of the year.     AHP/Jones game was competitive until late.  Jones made an entertaining comeback only to be squelched in the 4th quarter. Lake Mary/Vero Beach.  Say no more. So from my perspective it was at least one of the best.  I remember many years where you had maybe one competitive game.  If you were lucky you had 2.     From my viewpoint there were 2 historic upsets, the final game ended in a viral play that’s been shared all over the world, a game that was competitive until the 4th quarter, Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota team) and 2 games that were no contests.  So for me but not for others it was a great finals.

      Appreciate the breakdown by game, I would also like to read your thoughts on the venue. It was about as far south in the state that could hold the event, how was the turnout, how well did they manage the games, perking, ease of entry, concessions? What did you do between games? I have been to several final games in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale and thought the year I went to games in Ft. Lauderdale were run better.

      MarkECannon, do you think the reason why Cardinal Mooney was able to pass the ball and find open receivers very effectively against the Bolles defense was because the line of scrimmage was dominant, and they were able to protect the passer and give him time to scan the field? Do you think that Lakeland needs to get more of a balanced offense to compete at the State Championship level? Thank you.
