FL HS Gridiron Report: The Good, Bad, and Ugly – Post-Championship Fan TribunalLive from a dimly lit virtual Zoom panel that's somehow more chaotic than a fourth-quarter fumble recovery, this is your host, Chet "No Bias" Hargrove, bringing you the raw, unfiltered aftermath of last week's FHSAA state title games. We've rounded up a jury of jilted fans from the losing squads – because nothing says 'healing' like venting to strangers online. Remember, folks: these opinions are hotter than a Florida sideline in August, and about as reliable. Let's meet our panel.
Chet Hargrove (Reporter): Alright, welcome to the tribunal. We're talking the heartbreaks from Classes 1A through 7A – games that had more plot twists than a bad Netflix thriller. First up, representing the Broward County powerhouse crew from Chaminade-Madonna, who fell 17-14 to Cardinal Newman in a shocking 1A final upset. Dynasty dethroned on a late field goal – that's gotta burn,
LaToya?LaToya "Lion Pride" Jenkins (Broward Fan, multitasking with a vape pen and what looks like a late-night snack run, rocking gold chains and a Chaminade hoodie): Chet, baby, that was straight-up highway robbery! Our Lions? Four-time defending champs, straight Hollywood royalty grindin' harder than anybody. We wuz supposed to five-peat easy! But nah, them Newman boys got that Catholic miracle juice – probably prayed extra hard or somethin'. Late field goal? Refs let 'em line up slow on purpose! If we play 'em in the streets, no whistles, Chaminade eats. This loss? It's fuel, Chet. Next year, we roarin' back louder. hic Is my camera on straight?
Chet: It's live, LaToya – and that "miracle juice" talk might get us flagged. Dynasty vibes in full denial mode. Next, from Miami-Dade hood crew, Miami Northwestern Bulls, who lost 23-22 to Raines in a gut-wrenching 3A final that came down to the final seconds. Divine comeback or just bad luck,
Jamal?Jamal "The Bullhorn" Ramirez (Miami-Dade Fan, sipping something suspiciously brown from a red Solo cup, wearing a faded Northwestern jersey that's seen better decades): Man, Chet, that was robbery part two! Raines got that lucky last-second TD – ball bounced like it was guided by Duval angels or somethin'! Our boys from the hood? Pure heart, warriors in the 305 trenches. We had 'em buried late, then boom, miracle play. Refs? Swallowin' whistles all night! We wuz cheated again! Pass the bottle, this one hurt worse than the last. Hood don't forget!
Chet: Easy, Jamal – sounds like divine intervention struck twice this year. Keep it PG; the stream's blowing up. Now, shifting to Polk County pride. Lakeland Dreadnaughts – wait, hold up, folks, Lakeland actually won their class this year? Nah, scratch that – they got shut out again by STA!
moving on... Actually, let's hit Duval County's elite private school scene – the Bolles Bulldogs, who got blown out 52-28 by Cardinal Mooney in the 2A final. Straight ass-whupping, no miracles needed. Snobby take incoming, Preston?
Preston "Bulldog Baron" Worthington III (Duval Private School Fan, in a polo shirt and khakis, sipping what he claims is "artisanal herbal tea" but his eyes say otherwise, with a backdrop of a yacht club flag): Chet, darling, this is utterly mortifying. Bolles is an institution of excellence – our alumni run boardrooms, not... whatever those Sarasota public programs produce. We clearly underestimated Mooney; one assumes titles are won on pedigree, not some vulgar ground-and-pound. That score? Positively barbaric. Divine? Hardly – more like a lapse in our refined preparation. Financially elite? Absolutely, but it funds superior coaching, not brute force. We'll regroup at the holiday regatta. Donations welcome? sniff This tea hits different tonight.
Chet: Whoa, Preston, easy on the elitism – some of us tailgate with coolers, not caterers. LaToya, you hearing this? Your Lions got upset by a private school too – solidarity?
LaToya: Preston, honey, at least our loss was close! Y'all got trucked like a rental! Private money don't buy rings every year – karma for actin' superior!
Jamal: Yeah, Preston! Y'all think yachts win games? Nah, heart does! Our Northwestern squad fights harder than Bolles ever could. That blowout? Straight embarrassing!
Preston: Plebeians, please – this discourse is beneath Bolles standards. We shall endure, as always. More... tea?
Chet: And there you have it, folks – the good (the excuses), the bad (the biases), and the ugly (these coping mechanisms). Florida high school football: where dynasties fall, miracles happen, and fans never admit defeat. Tune in next week – if these folks sober up. Chet out.(Panel erupts into chaos: LaToya cackling about "Hollywood magic gone wrong," Jamal ranting "hood robbed again," Preston sighing about "standards slipping," Zoom glitches galore. Fade to black.)

    • Just sitting here waiting patiently for Florida schools schedules more so Miami but we all know they slow down here
    • 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.
