Well with Miami-Dade is trying to schedule 50 schools into 8 stadium sites and shortage of officials... its a complicated mess that I have had to deal with for 15 years since launching the site. Don't ever expect final schedules from South Florida until June at the earliest.

You think Dade would have figured it out by now. Thats a lot of years of trial and error just to have the same result.

Looking at it this way makes sense with 50 schools and what 6 stadiums not included private schools.

North End has

Traz Powell Stadium 

Curtis Park

Milander Park 

 

South End has

Harris Field

Tropical Park 

Southridge Stadium

It's hard when you don't have that many stadiums to work with. Example the Mosquito Bowl  FIU North Campus where North Miami Beach, North Miami and Alonzo and Tracy Mourning use for their home games is not used anymore. Now you have to find somewhere for them to play.

And I hate it. But broward on the other hand has no excuses 95% of us have our own stadium, it’s like south Florida year after year gate keep their fall football schedules to the very last second, for what idk. While the rest of Florida shooting out their 2025 schedules since 2 months ago.

I agree with you. Broward should not have an excuse at all. All of the schools have their own stadiums.

We went to Traz Powell last year. Loved the parking and layout, and would love to see a big game there. How does Tropical Park compare?

Traz Powell seating capacity is bigger than Tropical Park and it's located on the grounds of Miami Dade College North Campus. Tropical Park is located in an actual park with pavilions and lakes and other stuff.

I like when Hillsborough and Polk match up. I wish they would have like a border or type of event early in the regular season. 
 

Lakeland vs TBT

Lake Wales vs Armwood 

Plant vs Bartow

Gaither vs Lake Gibson 

Durant vs Auburndale 

Newsome vs Ridge comm 

CDS vs Lakeland Christian 

 

These aren’t all the best Hillsborough teams. Outside of Lakeland, if you matched up best against best Hillsborough would beat the pine tar out of Polk in every game. Lakeland would be the only team to likely win.

TBT vs Lakeland most years would be a must see.

It would actually be more fair if Hillsborough went against the Bay Area’s best from Pinellas, Polk, Pasco and Manatee. A true border war 

You mean like a throwback to the old Western Conference battles?

I read somewhere that Miami Central might be playing Raines 1st game of the season at Raines. If this is true boy oh boy Raines is in some trouble. If Raines thought Northwestern was something they haven't seen nothing yet when it comes to Central. I could be wrong but had Central not gotten disqualified from the playoffs I think they would have beaten Northwestern and went to states and won.

We were just talking about Raines needing to step up the competition. Maybe they listened to us. Lol.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • 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.
