Wiregrass Ranch (9-2) at Lakeland (9-0)

Previous Meeting (2016 Playoffs, 1st Round): 
Lakeland 43
Wiregrass Ranch 20 

Points Per Game:
Lakeland - 33.1
Wiregrass - 26.6

Points Against Per Game:
Lakeland - 10.8
Wiregrass - 14.8

Playoff Records (All Time):
Lakeland 64-24
Wiregrass 1-1

Lakeland comes into this game sputtering a bit on offense. After averaging 38 PPG their first 7 games, they are averaging just 13 over their last 2, both against in-county rivals. Lakeland's defense has been their strength this season.

I went to the WR/Lake Nona game and their D was really good. They won 17-10 but Nona only scored a TD on a short field after Wiregrass went for it on 4th and 4 inside their own 20. I am sure I am in the minority, but I think this game could be a little better than people think - especially if Lakeland is struggling on offense. If Lakeland gets it rolling early, then I don't think Wiregrass will be able to hang.

Agree. Was quite shocked when I was watching the game saw WR go for it on 4th down that deep in their own end.

On a side note......that Lake Nona player that broke his arm during the game......that was pretty brutal.

I felt terrible for that kid. That was one of the worst-looking breaks I've seen. Hope he's ok.

If the Lakeland team that played Apopka can show up, I would be more confident. I just haven't seen them trending in the right direction the last few games. I'm hoping getting away from the Polk County games will get them in playoff mode. Winter Haven was a playoff game. But can understand it being difficult to get up for a team to have already played once and beaten 55-7, not to mention an in-county rival that is putting everything they can into beating you.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.

      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
