I want to know beating Gainesville, Suwannee and buchholz could affect them in playoffs so the old system where only district games mattered was stupid 

 

But why? Why should when a 7A school plays and beats a 1A school count towards if you make the playoffs? In the system you are defending, it does. No, if Columbia beats Madison County it shouldn't count towards them making the playoffs. The size difference alone makes it ridiculous. Columbia should beat them, they have 4 times as many students to pull from. 

But at the same time, Columbia should play them if for nothing else the gate. Why should only 4 games count instead of 10, because not all games are created equal. The idea that the district champion and runner-up make the playoff is fair, because those 5 teams all played the exact same opponents and have the same school size and are close geographically. You have an apples to apples comparison. In this new system, you have apples to cantaloupes to bananas comparison in terms of schedule and the value of your opponent's schedule.  

Let me type in smaller words. You said, only district games counted in the past... if so, why do you keep talking about the winningest football in North Florida history, if the only games that counted in the past were district games. Shouldn't you only care about the results of those? But no, you do care about the results of GHS, BHS, and SHS, because those games mattered to those players, coaches, and fans. Just not for the playoffs.

You realize that even when Suwannee is good (like state championship level good), CHS still dominates. It isn't even a rivalry anymore other than the fact they are close, why is beating up on them worthy of playoffs... play the game because of history and tradition, but the game is stupid for the purpose of playoffs. Beating Suwannee should happen, rewarding points for it is stupid. 

Again, you can only control what happens on your field. Columbia beat a solid Trinity Christian team. Imagine though if the ineligible player didn't just play against Bolles, but in every game. The 48 or 53 points that CHS gains from beating TC goes down to 38 as TC is forced to forfeit every game. Is that fair to CHS? Absolutely not, and that is why we only used district games. The district games made sure the district champ and runner-up were all judged by the same exact criteria. 

.....

Again, FHSAA is trying to solve something that wasn't issue. The average fan does not care any more than they did previously. After next season, you are going to see a lot of good teams going back to trying to schedule weak teams to pad their schedule. As the risk of playing a tough team is not worth the risk.

Several moons ago, Miami Northwestern played at Southlake Carroll in a tremendous game at SMU stadium in Dallas. It was a great game, the game played a role in the mythical nation championship, but in reality had no bearing on the ability of Miami Northwestern to play in the state playoffs, which is good. If they lose the game, who knows.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
