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

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.

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. 

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.

    • Yeah in the 70’s-90’s the debate will most likely be between the top 2 largest class state champs 
    • 1976 - Godby HS went 14-0, defeated ledgendary Gene Cox, Leon Lions for the 1st time in school history in its last game of the regular season. Beat a Carol City Team, (that would come back the next year to win the 1977 state title), 21-15 in Lakeland, FL for the 1976 4A title. Two members of that Godby team (Sammy Knight, Chris Hobbs) would then lead FAMU to a upset win over the University of Miami. 1978 - Meritt Island - Beat Carl Madison coached (going to see the name Carl Madison alot through out the 80's),Pine Forrest for the 4A state Title 20-16 and would go on to be repeat state champs winning the 1979 state 4A state title as well, seeing Pine Forrest once again in the Finals 1979 - Merritt Island - Beat Pine Forrest 19-14 1980 - Argument could be made that 3A state Champ Gainesville HS was the states best, as they defeated Titusville on Titusville's home field 21-15, but in the end Carl Madison's (who we'll talk about again in the 80's), Tate HS has to be considered the state best destorying Miami Columbus HS 35-7! 1981 - Again 3A would again have to be where the state's best team played. Palatka after struggling in its 1st round game went on to dominate evenutally winning the state title 42-2 over Suncoast. Unlike Vero Beach (which won the 4A state itle that year), Palatka was loaded with star power, with 2 of its players eventually playing in the NFL (John L Williams, and Jarvis Williams) 1982 - Going 3A once again as Titusville would shutout 3 of its 4 playoff opponents, winning the state title over Osceola 33-0 1983 - 4A Manatee High School goes 14-0 for its 1st state title and the beginning of a dynasty through out the 80's and into the early 90's   more later.......
    • No, but I need to buy a red tie very soon! 
    • Congratulations Jambun!  That is a great honor for your Panthers.  Do you own a red tie?
    • Hello MarkECannon, did you notice the Two-Time Defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers visiting the White House and presenting the Great President Trump with rings, a stick, and a #47 Jersey?! A Great Team and a Great President make for a GREAT event!
