Hey all, I've been super busy with real life and my college education. But, recently here in Okaloosa, Destin has put together a committee of different folks from around the community to look at a Destin High School which would have to be built onto the middle school. Real estate is a concern, but I think they can hash it out. Funding is a different question though, but they're looking to use the BP oil spill money. 

So we'll see what happens.

Where do Destin kids go to school now?  I thought they went to South Walton, I didn't realize Destin was in Okaloosa County.

The two closest high schools are Niceville and Fort Walton, some kids out the way east go to South Walton, but still live near Destin.  

 

EDIT: The committee is putting together the final presentation and will present it to the school board and superintendent this month or next month sometime.

Doesn't niceville usually build mostly on in house talent? 

 

Yea they do. Some of the top talent at other schools transfer over if the student wants to make that choice, but like I said, haven't seen anything for this season.

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

      Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

      They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.
