Man, y'all hittin' it right on the head with this exodus talk—schools boltin' from FHSAA to SSAA faster than that drunk lady at my Publix counter sprintin' out with a "borrowed" bottle when she think nobody lookin'. Noimsayin?Just today—December 17, merry freakin' Christmas—them finals dropped on them new districts for '26 and '27. Went down to six classes plus Rural (droppin' that 7A like a bad habit), tryin' to beef up them districts so ain't so many two- or three-team ghost towns. Tentatives came out last week, appeals wrapped Monday, and boom—here we is. But even with that fix, schools still jumpin' ship. Lemon Bay already hollerin' they headed to SSAA, Dixie County packin' for '26, Atlantic (Port Orange) done went independent earlier this year, Oasis petitionin' to go solo, couple Panhandle boys like Sneads and Vernon threatenin' or straight plannin' the move 'cause they tired of gettin' mismatched. Reports sayin' more than half-dozen bolted since the season ended, and SSAA sittin' pretty with over 120 members now, growin' like kudzu.If this keep up, yeah, FHSAA gon' have some districts lookin' lonely as hell—one team sittin' there like me waitin' on a date back in '74 who never showed, just automatic champ with no games. Bigger districts on paper, but subtract them leavers? Some gon' shrink quick. Travel complaints, competitive balance, whatever—SSAA givin' 'em smaller leagues, playoffs for damn near everybody, less headaches.Remind me of that fool's errand down in Miami back in '89. Took my whole check—$400 this time—down to some bookie in Little Havana named Tito, all gold teeth and promises. He set the line on Miami minus 10 against Notre Dame, swore it was "locked." Canes win by 7 on a late pick-six the other way. Tito just smile, pocket my money, say "Next time, amigo." I thumbed rides home, eatin' gas station burritos, swearin' off bookies... till the next weekend.FHSAA actin' like Tito right now—changin' lines, promisin' better action, but schools still walkin' away broke and frustrated. Florida high school football too damn good for this drama. We got the deepest talent pond in America, Friday nights magic. SSAA boomin' 'cause choice is king.I love the FHSAA side—them big rivalries, state titles mean somethin'—but if they don't tighten up, next cycle gon' look sparse in spots. Might even put a little friendly wager on more schools gone by spring. Safer bet than trustin' Tito... or my exes.Y'all think the bleed stops, or we see real one-team districts next go-round? This game deserve better. Stay loyal where you can, brethren.

      Broward county showcase "RIVARLY GAME CLASSIC"

      When I think of top 5 , top 10 i think of consistency. Dillard is consistent playoff team year in and year out, making it further some years then others. And thats without a mass of transfers like a miami central,northwestern, west boca, or last year mcarthur and west broward.  right now In broward my rankings would be  #1 ST THOMAS  #2. AMERICAN HERITAGE  #3. CHAMINADE  #4. ARCHBISHOP MCCARTHY #5. DILLARD  #6. MONARCH  west broward and mcarthur both lost over 20 transfers and coaches within the last 2 months. Players are transferring out left and right so its yet to be seen if they can even be .500 next season. Outside of that Who else ? Plantation aka the "Young gate jumpers" as they were called down here had a team full of transfers last year due to their assistant coach darel Strong who has strong ties in the optimist circle.  Well since plantation beat dillard in round 1 last season, not only did they lose that assistant coach to cypress bay, they also lost his brother who the colonels head coach, he left and followed his brother to cypress bay and hes now the head coach of the cypress Bay lightning.  On top of all that in the last 4 weeks plantation has self imploded losing 8 players to carol city, 4 to Columbus & 15 to players to cypress bay to follow their coaches.  So again Who else is it ? That without a doubt can be placed above or before dillard in broward outside of the Top 4 private schools ??

      Most definitely dillard not only was dillard top 5 in points per game and top 5 in opponents points per game in the state, dillard also over the last 3 years have a record of (27-8) a playoff berth in every season this decade, multiple 2nd round or further playoff appearancs. In two appearances in the broward vs usa classic dillard is (2-0) "Both games" we were the underdogs. Especially against dr phillips last year who was just in the state semi finals the year prior. And made it to the regional finals last year.  Dillard was also ranked top 5 in broward every all of last year. By sunsentinal, Larry bluestin & they were also Top 10 in the miami Herald all of last year.  No our schedule wasnt the toughest and yes we lost a close playoff game to a heated rival in round 1 last year, but do that mean dillard isn't Top 7 in broward absolutely NOT.  ESPECIALLY compared to fly by night programs who are faithfully doormats in florida football in west broward and mcarthur. Two teams who got a wave of transfers last year to help a team who barely won 4 games the year before. Hell in mcarthur case they were (1-9) in 2024 b4 the transfers came in & like clockwork they all transfered right back out this season.
