FL takes it on the chin again.  At least we are playing the best teams from every state and not dodging anybody.

I’m all for that, but I do feel like the goal post gets moved on this ALOT. Down here when a team has a winning record but don’t have a contender , state wise or national wise on their schedule they’re are classified as playing “NOBODY” , but if they do & lose then most will say they are frauds and a product of a weak schedule because in those games you either win or you lose, you get no trophy for keeping it close. 
 

but yet when it comes to our powerhouses down here when they play OOS teams who recruit how they recruit and etc and they lose, the goal post is often moved to say “Oh atleast down here in Florida we don’t duck no smoke or atleast they kept it close or fought back to make it a game” like which one is it lol ? Did they still lose or no @nolebull813

Said the hunters to the charging boar.  That brave boar was still eaten for dinner which ultimately devalues Florida High School football.

A loss is still a loss and what makes it worse is that it's a national headline.  America is licking their chops just to play a Florida school regardless of the program's pedigree because of the state's reputation and track record for producing talent.  As a coach/AD, what's most beneficial to your program? A check, instant notoriety, player development and team cohesion? At any rate, the point I'm getting at is it's no surprise that the "goal post" is moved.  You can expect that from OOS games but this also happens in state as well.  We see it every season.  There's no control over that.  The only thing we can control is who signs up for these contests and that's a program by program decision.  However, there are some teams, a lot of them that have no business going against another state's powerhouse when they're not powerhouses here at home.  Just my opinion.

So Dia Bell didn’t play because of an injury.  Does anyone know what is the injury and how long is he projected to be out?

He posted that he was out for the remainder of the season "due to an unexpected, minor procedure that needs to be addressed."
