Dog days of summer...Orlando Jones

If Jones is allowed to compete without any sanctions, they will be a threat to win the 5a State Title. They are very deep at most positions. Personally, I would have chosen to remain in the lower classification and once again play in the District with Cocoa. No disrespect to Cocoa, but in that class, aside from Cocoa and Booker T. Washington, I don't think there is any other team that could beat Jones, at least not on paper. 

5a, even if Jones is allowed to play with its full current roster, is very deep with multiple teams from both the North and South brackets that could legitimately challenge for the title.

Nice Video!

I agree with Darter in the sense that if Jones can get by the potential sanctions unscathed I do think they are a threat in 5A however after looking at their schedule their might be reason for concern, should Jones  make a late run.  St. Johns is a great game on 8/26, Bishop Moore is another great game on 9/29, West Orange to my knowledge is a wild card this year and Oak Ridge may be average.  The remaining 6 teams will likely be (respectfully speaking ) extremely challenged and will be running clocked by Jones perhaps in the 1st quarter.

Agree. They may not be battle tested enough with the schedule they have. Aside from St Johns, Bishop Moore and, more likely than not, Oak Ridge, their schedule is very light. The key to make the playoffs for them is to beat Bishop Moore and win the district.

Yes. They will be better than you think.

seriously?  over half the team left to the "other school close by"  more than half the coaches are there too.  including 2015 metro football coach of the year that was let go by said school.  interesting to think that the captain of that ship could lead them to any wins much less be better than you think.....

    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
