Josh I will again give you credit for what your trying to do here. But I remember football scoop and flavarsity and number of others that have tried to do the same thing. You say teams don't reply back maybe it's because they send the information you are looking for to the local media outlets, maybe you should work with those guys and contact them. If they are not responding to you they obviously don't see you as a credible media rep. 

To to discredit the ssac as not a state title I have to ask what is it then?

I'm just going to touch on a couple things here. Keep in mind, I'm just a guy with admin privileges on this board. I'm not on Josh's payroll, nor an current intern. (I am a former intern, but that doesn't mean anything in regards to this.)

First, I want to note that FootballScoop has nothing to do this with. Not sure who you meant. I'm not as familiar with FV so I won't touch on them. (I know what they do, but not their history of success or non-success.) 

Second, roughly 95% of the information that Josh asks teams for (stats) are also not being sent to the local paper. How do I know? Because I know Josh has tried to reach out to those local media outlets and 95% of the time they are also trying to track down that info OR the local paper reached out to Josh hoping that he somehow had the info. 

Despite what some people believe, some coaches just honestly don't care about their kids getting recognized by non-recruiting outlets. If you're Rivals, 24/7, etc. they'll send all the stats and everything you could want. But there are some coaches out there that if you're the local paper, they won't send you anything. Now, that's not every coach out there. Many coaches are great at sending the requested material. 

And third, the SSAC is not a state title. They know, we know it and the member schools know it. So what is it? A conference title. When Alabama wins the SEC and Clemson they ACC, they won conference titles. This is not a new concept either. There have been several independent conferences that hand out championships over the last few years. And that's not a knock on the SSAC at all. There are only eight state titles given out per year and they are the 1A-8A titles.

I was just saying that the Florida system of the fhsaa being the only recognized championship is old and out of date almost every state has multiple state organizations and it should be that way schools should have choice, most people support that.

 

im just gonna point the comment of "we" know that about the SSAC is the issue with FV and all the other websites before this one. Random guys talking claiming to be the "we" voice your not. The schools and the kids are the voice and that's the way it should be. Kids being recruited and bettering their lives and getting a great experience is the only thing that matters and that kids and coaches should be worried about. 

 

Good of luck on here guys

I'll be back if the conversations are worth it. Been around high school football in Florida for 15 years these sites and the people that post on them come and go every few years. I was just curious the level of talk on this subject. These are still high school kids tho we should all keep that in mind

I think you are correct laz has them listed as independent but they are 2A

Hi everyone. Happy to be here. Been struggling to get make up game results. Wish I was retired and had only football to deal with. But that's the gig. Anyway, I have Broward International (International School of Broward) listed as Independent because that's the Assignment as posted on the FHSAA web site.

ISB is indeed independent. That was changed during the offseason after they decided that they couldn't get enough teams in Florida to schedule them. LAZ has it correct.

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
