Please post them if you run across any. The state doesn’t provide any info of any kind in regards to schedules, and we don’t know who people are playing until you show up at the game. Lol. 
 

Here’s Beachside

Interesting (and by "interesting," I mean I'm not the least bit surprised), Venice opens with a pair of road games and finishes their season with a road game.   In between, they play seven consecutive home games.   Seven straight home games.

Yes it could be. There is a relationship between the schools as Oasis has used Verot's field to host SSAC playoff games in the past. However, I am surprised they are playing each other. 

I’m sure they won’t embarrass them if they have a good relationship with them. Maybe 49-0. Run the ball every down with the JV kids from the 2nd quarter on

Do you cover Southwest football? I think I have the complete history for every team in Lee and Collier county. I don’t have all of Dunbar’s history before they entered the FHSAA in 1967 though.

As a coach, I would take that all day as long as 2 out of the 3 road games are against a south Florida power and a good school from anywhere else including out of state. Two tough road games as well as a few tough home games would be efficient for getting ready for the post season. Why travel 3 extra games just to blow teams out when you can do the same thing at home. And you already know the gate $ is always going to be good at Venice.

No I do not cover it, moved to Fort Myers about 9 years ago and work with the schools, and have met some great people in the area. I enjoy going to different high school football games in the area and being around the game.

Nice. I’ve been to Venice and Manatee home games. Both coincidentally were playing out of state teams. (Venice vs Camden County GA and Manatee vs Don Bosco NJ)

I actually went to the state semi final game between Manatee and Dwyer years back. Dwyer had this Tim Tebow type quarterback who was a load! Manatee barely won that game. It was intense. You had to sit in assigned seats.

    • In today's recruiting era or I mean school choice era, a program in a talent rich area may implode for one year and then get a new coach and completely reload the next year and win a title. MNW imploded for two years in the 2022 (6-5) and 2023 (4-6) seasons with a combined record of 10-11. Along came Teddy and numerous transfers and boom 12-2 with a state title. Back in the day this would be a program disaster, not no more though. 
    • I have 3 good friends that are retired from Hillsborough High. Ken Weiss, former track head coach and Charlie & Georgene Diaz.  Charlie, aka as Carlos, was the college compliance counselor and PA guy for the football games.  All three have always spoken highly of Earl and consider him a good friend.  I have a few Terrier football shirts that they have given me over the years.
    • Short term it's too late and players on this team are too invested to leave now. If it's just Teddy getting suspended, it'll probably be similar to what TFA will deal with. If anything, the team might play with more of a chip on their shoulders. LonI don't think many felt Teddy would be there a long time, anyway. How they fare long term depends on how things go at places like Central, Mater Academy and the other Dade schools. If one of those pops off and has an awesome year, they may get more of the talent in the future, so MNW may go back down to what they were before last season.
    • 57 teams per class is a travesty. What an embarrassment. 
    • With all the off-season discussion, don't forget the FHSAA regular season kicks off in 5 weeks.  Last year, 460 teams competed in the 8 FHSAA championship classifications.  This year, 458 teams are competing in the FHSAA.  Not exactly the mass exodus that some were hoping for or predicting, but maybe it is coming down the road.  Or not.  In case you forgot your team's district or region foes, here are the 2025-26 FHSAA classifications:  https://fhsaa.com/sports/2020/1/28/FB_classifications.aspx Information on the SSAA football season can be found here:  https://www.sunshinestateathletics.com/page/show/5114520-football
