This is the game of the week in Northeast Florida. Fletcher visits Fleming Island in a district 7A-3 showdown. Fletcher is a football program that is where Fleming Island wants to be. They have been there and done that in a higher and much "tougher" classification than 7A. The past two years they have made it to where no Fleming Island team has ever been before in a tougher classification. Each of the past 2 season's Fletcher has made it to the State Semifinals in Florida's largest classification. If we are gonna be the program we want to be this is one of those games you have to win. We have not won these games these past 2 seasons. For Fleming Island to compete Friday we are gonna have to play great in all 3 phases of the game. And I will say this over and over and over again. Football teams are remembered at Fleming Island by championships. Anything short of a District Championship is a disappointment.

Fleming Island is one win away from a district title after beating Fletcher last night 28 to 14. Fleming Island scored on their first 3 drives to go up 21-0 and then we coasted the rest of the way. Extremely disappointed that we let them back into the game. With 3 minutes left it was 21 to 14. I felt the defense played well. Offense needs to start playing 2 halves of football. You're not gonna beat Lakeland, Niceville, STA, Dwyer, Lincoln, or East Lake by laying an egg in the first or second half offensively. It's just not gonna happen. Michael threw 9-21 with less than a 50% completion rating. He can play better than that. The offensive line should be able to sustain drives if we have a big lead, but we failed to do that in the second half. We had a huge goal line stand in the 4th quarter that won us the game. But we gave up 14 points too many. If our goal was just to beat the best team we would play in the regular season and put us one game closer to a District Title then congrats guys you did it. If our goal is to legitimately compete for a State Title we just aren't there yet. So much to work on, so little time.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
