The heck!!! Just great smh why would they do that they said the new update have it missing Florida wtf going on smh 

I get the frustration, I want football too. But you can't go off of projections this far out. Have to be cautious. I think Dade and Broward could play today but might as well let everyone go home and prepare/evacuate. Better to be overprepared and nothing happen than underprepare and this thing comes right at us.

Yup that's exactly what is going on. It's all about letting people get prepared for it.

I hope everyone stays safe. I got out of town and came up to Chicago. So if anyone wants updates on Simeon vs Phillips tonight, I got you lol.

Looks like Phillips shut Simeon out 14-0.  Phillips is a top 10 team in IL?

Thoughts on what you saw different with your experience at the game tonight (pros and cons) versus at top 10 team versus a top 50 team in FL?

 

Side note:

Simeon Phillips is actually a 2017 DL out of Oxbridge now playing at FCS Liberty...

Phillips is probably top 5 in IL. They beat Loyola Academy, who is ranked number 7 in the state by MaxPreps. Loyola is an 8A, Simeon is a 7A, Phillips is either 3A or 4A (they do classifications after the season & before the playoffs in IL). They also beat a 6A playoff team week 2. 

Phillips has a lot of team speed. Simeon has a ton of athletes and Phillips pretty much went cover 1 press man all game. They blitzed a lot and forced Simeon to beat them passing because they couldn't run.

J'Bore Gibbs is Phillips QB (has an offer from Eastern Michigan). 6'3, 200 lbs. Dual threat. Best offensive player Saturday was Craig Elmore, their RB and the MLB. Tough runner with moves, should play either group of 5 FBS or high level FCS. They had a TE transfer in, 6'5 220 kid Jahleel Billingsley (Purdue offer). They have a young offensive line but they'll gel as the season moves on and they'll be ready for the playoffs.

I like Phillips because they have a Florida mentality. I spoke with the head coach and he wants his team to have national exposure. Their non district games were tough. Simeon lost to Cass Tech in Detroit by 5. I expect Phillips to try and go out of state next year.

I also like them because their coach has been able to take the talent that is in Chicago, get em to the school and harness it. It's really hard to do in Chicago. Basketball is king. But he made them a football school.

Good stuff DB4.  Sounds like Phillips has established itself in IL as contender for states and may be building up to a midwest power in the coming years or even months.  I'll be looking out for them later this fall!

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
