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.

    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid. 
    • Officially 13 left First Baptist.  Golden Gate, even after the return of Coach Bigica, lost 6 to other schools. The two biggest gainers were St John Neumann (11) and Community School (9)
