Andrew Thomas hired as Trinity Catholic football coach

Trinity Catholic athletic director Tommy Bond announced on Wednesday that the school has officially hired Andrew Thomas as the Celtics’ new football coach.

Thomas, who in five years at Trenton High School went 60-5 and led the Tigers to Class 1A state football titles in 2013 and 2015. Thomas spent 2016 and 2017 seasons as coach and athletic director at T.R. Miller High in Brewton, Ala.

Thomas will be the fifth head coach in school history as he takes over for Joe Sturdivant.

Sturdivant coached the Celtics for three years before taking a job in December to coach in the German Professional Football League.

 
Tigerfan1, I just learned this a few moments ago. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Probably couldn't get kids to transfer in like they had. Just a guess. If they're depending on just the talent in Weston to win games, they're going to be what they've been the last few seasons.

Knowing how his offenses worked out at his previous schools and as a UCF alum, I'm hyped for it.

Dennis Marroquin has stepped down from his head coaching position at Champagnat Catholic, per his Twitter.

This one really surprised me. BOL to the young Coach Marroquin .  He had the moxie  that had kids wanting to play from him and appeared to be building Champagnat into a small private power..... He will likely be successful whatever he pursues.

Forest (Ocala, FL): Seven Rivers HS (FL) head coach Rayburn Green has stepped down to become the new head coach at Forest HS.

Hmmmmmm. I'm wondering how the new coach is going to handle Forest with 2,200 students as opposed to Seven Rivers Christian school with 500 students K-5 to 12. Probably no more than 200 to 250 in HS. Although Seven Rivers has a pretty good football team for a 2A school they mostly play other small Christian schools. Forest HS needs something as they have never had a real quality football team in all of the years I have followed them. They even moved down from 7A to 6A and still cannot compete successfully. It's a beautiful facility having been built only a few years ago and has a large roster for the football team. I'm hoping that Coach Green can be successful where others have not been.

Jeff McLean...34 years at Merritt Island.  No coincidence that only 4 public schools have appeared in more playoff games over the years.

Jeff McLean wasn't the head coach for 34 years at Merritt  Island. Gerald Odom won multiple state titles and close to 200 victories at Merritt Island alone.

It technically didn't say that he was the head coach for 34 years there. It said he stepped down after 34 years at Merritt Island

Anthony Davis is the first coach at Tohopekiliga High School (New school opening in Osceola County next year).

It seems like there have been so many newer schools in Osceola County in the recent past... Liberty, Harmony, Gateway, Celebration.  Along with St Cloud, am not sure any of them have set the world on fire.  Does a new school like this really have a reasonable chance of building a winner or is the talent in the area getting diluted.

It seems like, right now, it's going to be a lot harder for schools like Gateway, Harmony and St. Cloud because this new school is going to affect enrollment for all three schools (whether taking kids directly or through re-drawing lines for enrollment). Each of those schools will have a good spurt here or there but not enough to start competing with Osceola High. They're another animal entirely.

st cloud is defintely not a new school.  

gateway was built in '85

harmony in 04

celebration around the same time.

liberty was the last new school built there.

this toho school was supposed to open 8 or 9 years ago to help with the infusion of students.  but the 08 bottom falling out of the economy put it in holding pattern.  st cloud was renovated to hold 2100 kids, when the enrollment was already 1900.  they built a new building at gateway and removed some portables, wasnt enough.  they are busting at the seams.

what they did with the rezone lines is what is pure shock.  moved the "BVL" off gateway to the new school, and gave gateway remington neighboorhood back(which has gone to st cloud for about 10 years).  

funny how they did nothing to OHS and their zone.....st cloud could drop to 6a, as could gateway in the next redistrict.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      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.

      I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.
