Madison County - In a close game.

CCC - Could go either way. CN is a good team

Gadsden - It will be a long trip for Booker T. I'll take Gadsden because of homefield advantage.

MNW - Only the FHSAA can stop the Bulls

Jones - Tough game to pick. I'll go with homefield advantage. There's a reason Jones is undefeated.

STA - Could go either way based on how STA has been playing. I'll take strength of schedule

West Boca - WB is the best team in PBC. Southridge's quest for a title ends in Boca Raton

Osceola - In a nail biter. Buchholz is a very good team, but I think physicality and line play gets the Kowboys the win.

Venice - Venice's first real test in the playoffs. I believe Columbus hangs tough but comes up just short.

Lake Mary - Lake Mary gets revenge. It won't be close.  

The only easy picks this week are the Lake Mary Dr. Phillips game and the Miami Northwestern game vs Eau Galle. All of the others were pretty tough to very tough to pick. Now DP may just win and I'll have egg in my face. But I doubt it. Lake Mary is on a mission and should do to them what Apopka did to Edgewater back in the 2001 regional finals after the Eagles had given the Darters its only regular season loss.

I like your picks but Raines is sitting undefeated. Should Northwestern be concerned and I think Booker T. Washington might pull it out.

Raines is undefeated. But I don't think they have played the quality competition that MNW has. So, I think the Bulls will win state and probably comfortably.

Yes, BTW could pull out the win. But winning in small, rural counties where the whole community turns out to the game is difficult; and BTW does not usually travel well. Plus, it's likely a 9 to 10 hour road trip by bus, so they will need to be there a day early and I am not sure if there will even be a good practice facility nearby for the kids to get properly warmed up and loose. Gadsden County has won most of their games in blowout fashion and in their KOC, they played Venice very tough. So, its obvious they have a very good team for a small school. The game will be tight and if it were held in Dade or a neutral site, I would like BTW's chances. I just feel that on the road, in the conditions they are going to face, if the two teams are as equally matched as I think, they will be at a big disadvantage.

    • 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
    • "Did you say my name?" (Sorry, I think I've seen that new John Daly/Hard Rock commercial one too many times.)  
    • 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.
