So absolutely dumb question here. How are you allowed into the playoffs if you didn't play any district games? Without being in a district, you aren't assigned a region so it seems like you should be ineligible since you don't have a region to qualify in? Excuse my language, but FUCK THE FIRST ACADEMY! They cheat, break all the rules, and then wreck everyone else's playoff experience. There are teams still in limbo as they sort this out. FUCK THE FIRST ACADEMY! I have never written a swear word in any post on this forum so for me to start posting language like this, it really means I truly hate that team. They recruited, broke rules and then decided to be IMG and play a national schedule. Great, a national team has a different mission than the rest of us who roll with our student body. GTFO of our playoffs and go play with the other recruiters. I personally know a kid who transferred into that school this year. This kid has not played for the same team two years in a row since I first met him in youth ball. He is home schooled (so no school essentially), has reclassified to develop more, and is the perfect fit for those no-school, sports only mercenaries who play for TFA. He somehow transfers 100+ miles to another school too? I guess that's legal... looking at you Lakeland and Venice lol. Anyway, did I mention FUCK THE FIRST ACADEMY yet? -

That’s horrible: holding the winter sports hostage. This is digusting behavior on the part of the FHSAA. These actions are common with entities that have nothing to lose, and want to sabotage as much as possible before crashing and burning. The FHSAA doesn’t seem redeemable. It’s time to flush this turd down the toilet and start over -

My son is a wrestler and the 24th ranked 215 in the state for 3A. This is definitely going to hurt him initially because wrestling is a really tough sport to jump back into and he will be behind. The positive is the heavier weight classes (190+) are typically football players so most kids are joining late due to football so it's mostly equal footing catching up. Now our basketball team is absolutely gutted by this. They can't even field a team until they get their guys back from football. -

My son's team is in the 4A-7A FIT and I don't think there are any truly bad teams in this bracket. It seems like it would be a better tournament if they either combined 1A-3A with the 4A-7A or Rural FIT bracket. It's still experimental so maybe FHSAA will make adjustments next year? As far as why is a 2-8 team in the tournament? Talking to our coach, you have to opt into the tournament. There are teams out there who opted out so a 2-8 team had to opt in to agree to travel 6 hrs for a meaningless tournament. Pensacola HS wants to extend their miserable season for some reason? Maybe they are young and want some more development time? I dunno, no way I would have opted in. -
