I'm planning on heading up to Fort Lauderdale for this game. I may be a bit late because of work but the plan is to be there. I've been looking forward to this one since the schedule came out. Idk if anyone else on the board will be at the game but I'll try and update scores if not.

I'm probably gonna check out Western & Dillard next week. I've already seen BTW and I'll try and catch Carol City later on, probably one of the big district games. I want to see how a stacked Cali team fares against a stacked South FL team.

If you ask Broward , he knows how I fee about those Cali teams... I think STA handles Bosco easily.. They have the best qb in Bosco but the overall speed on defense for STA is gonna be too much for Bosco Qb imo... I love their qb and watch that game that was on TV last year.. I forgot who they played... But I don't think he's beating them through the air...

Thanks for the reminder, my windbreaker is at work so I can't forget it. Last year I went to see Booker T Washington and Edison in the rain and I was sick for a week after that.

Just got home from the game. It was close the whole time, but didn't really feel like a good game until the last few minutes and overtime.

STA: defense is legit. Hard to run up the middle because the defensive tackle is the size of about two people. Can't go east and west because the team speed is too much. Gotta imagine that's the best secondary Bosco will see all season. Re-al Mitchell ran bootleg plays where he'd normally have more time but the STA defensive ends were on him.

But the Aquinas offense leaves a lot to be desired. The receivers didn't do much. The pass protection was shaky. The running game did nothing (except for the game-winning touchdown, which I think was just poor tackling).

I think STA will lose to either Miramar or Deerfield Beach. Defense is great, offense is mediocre (will probably look better against lesser local teams) and special teams was solid.

St John Bosco: Massive offensive line. Offense moved the ball between the 20s but the playcalling was suspect in the redzone. They weren't used to defensive team speed like STA's. The last play of the game was a terrible playcall. But they were pretty much out of options. Aquinas had answers for pretty much everything. The QB is a nice athlete, but he tried to force some passes which hurt Bosco.

Their defense was legit. Tall rangy corners, good size all over the defense. Pass rush was all over STA all night.

To me, Bosco was the better team and lost it more than STA won the game tonight. Miss a close field goal to go ahead, throw a pick on two straight drives to end the game. Bosco moved the ball a little on offense, STA didn't. Bosco will be fine when they go back to Cali (except for Mater Dei, that's a toss up).

The Bosco fans were pretty cool too! Not used to rain lol

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .

      NIL coming to Florida? FHSAA requests public feedback

      By Perspective · Posted

      So, after one very brief reading, it appears that the policy will be as follows:   kids, you can cut an NIL deal, but it can't have anything to do with the school you're at or any school that wants you to come there or anyone associated with any of those schools (i.e., boosters).
