Opted to create this thread so that everything can be formatted the same as years past. Figured since I wanted it formatted this way, it was only fair for me to be the one to do the actual formatting. 

Huge thanks, as always, to NoleBull for getting the list going.

Something is going in southern GA of late.  Ware County and Camden County were powerhouses and have dropped off big-time.  Other teams have had difficulty maintaining year-to-year, ie Valdosta.  Wonder if it is similar phenomenon as north Florida, with more rural areas struggling to stay competitive with the big metro areas.

Valdosta just hasn't been the same elite team since we hit the new millinum 

 

The demographics there have changed and lowndes taking some of talent in valdosta area don't help matters 

 

 

The problem in north Florida is honestly probably coaching 

 

Used to be it seemed North Florida had better coached teams and it helped them make up for the issues of not having the talent of south Florida 

 

Plus these days with spread offenses the south FL teams have utilized their biggest weapon 

 

Speed

 

 

Look at Baker county

 

Look at bartram trail 

 

 

Speed cost them at states and generally teams with speed are ones who can beat those teams 

 

Problem is not a lot of north teams have speed like you see in south Florida 

 

 

Before most teams ran wing t,  single wing,  I formation, ect

 

When that was the main formation you saw a lot more success from north Florida

Probably old news but not sure that it was posted here yet ...

Freedom Bowl August 31st, 2018 - September 2nd, 2018 @ Milton High School (Alpharetta, GA) .

Here are the FL teams competing:

American Heritage Plantation

Cardinal Gibbons

Chaminade-Madonna

Mainland

Stoneman Douglas

Wekiva

http://airo7v7.com/freedom-bowl

This event is turning out to be a big disappointment in terms of the level of competition.  The only teams really worth beating your chest over with a victory is North Gwinnett or St Joseph's.  

Looks like 1 game has been confirmed...8/31 Cardinal Gibbons at Milton  8:30 PM

Milton is a solid program but not amongst the GA elite.  

Of the other non-Florida teams competing...

North Gwinnett(GA) -historically strrong program but has had some ups and downs the past 5 seasons; won its first state title last year in Georgia's biggest classification

St Joseph's Regional(NJ) - historically one of the top 5 programs in NJ;  this is the team that whomped Deerfield Beach this past season

Muscle Shoals and Bob Jones of Alabama-both are from north Alabama; MS would be a 4A school in FL and BJ would a 6A school; both are solid programs but not amongst Alabama's elite

St Matthews's (Ontario Canada)-??????????

 

In a separate doubleheader event on August 31...

Bergen Catholic vs Grayson  5:30pm

Deerfield Beach vs Buford 8:30pm

 

And in a clash of Georgia titans, Lowndes is at Parkview on 8/31 7:30 pm

 

All of the above games are taking place on the north side of Atlanta.  The games at the Freedom Bowl on Aug 31 will be competing for spectators with some other very good games.

Though not officially announced, it appears these will be the matchups at the Freedom Bowl in Milton, GA.  Wekiva vs North Gwinnett will be a nice matchup for Wekiva (big GA public school vs big FL public school).  AHP game should let us know where AHP stands early in the season.  Mainland vs Bob Jones is equivalent of two 6A FL schools playing each other.  Chaminade vs Muscle Shoals....nothing to gain for Chaminade here...if they win, all will say it was expected.

On a national scale, would think the AHP vs SJR game is the only one that will draw a lot of interest.  To think Buford and Grayson will be playing down the road on Aug 31.  Gibbons and Chaminade versus those 2...either/or...wow, what could have been.  Hard to get excited about some of these matchups below

Bob Jones AL vs. Mainland FL (8/31)

Muscle Shoals AL vs. Chaminade-Madonna FL (8/31)

Cardinal Gibbons FL vs. Milton GA (8/31)

- - - - - 

Douglas FL vs. St. Matthew's ON (Canada) (9/1)

American Heritage (Plantation) FL vs. St. Joseph Regional NJ (9/1)

Wekiva FL vs. North Gwinnett GA (9/1)

I'm excited to see cardinal gibbons vs Milton 

 

I hope its televised so i can finally see CG play, they peaked my interest last year but i haven't gotten to see anything other than highlights of them

This is going to be a good season for Milton. They had a pretty good season last year, but should be better this season. They'll make the game with Cardinal Gibbons a good one.

...some additional info about the OOS teams in the Freedom Bowl

The host team, Milton, is coming off a 9-3 season in what marked head coach Adam Clack’s first year at the school. The Eagles return a trio of highly ranked Class of 2019 prospects, including 3-star quarterback Jordan Yates, 3-star linebacker Allen Walker and Clemson commit Joseph Charleston, a 6-foot-2 safety. Rising junior Paul Tchio is a 4-star offensive tackle who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 325 pounds.

Last season, North Gwinnett head coach Bill Stewart led the Bulldogs to a 14-1 finish and state title (the first in program history) on his first year on the job. Quarterback Cade Fortin (North Carolina signee) has left a position battle this offseason, but the Bulldogs have plenty of talent and championship experience returning in 2018. Class of 2019 standouts Warren Burrell (CB), Tyler Goodson (RB), Quinton Newson (S) and DJ Turner II (CB) are back, as well as Class of 2020 4-star Josh Shuler (S). Burrell led the Bulldogs with five interceptions a year ago, while the speedy Goodson sparked the offense with 20 rushing touchdowns and four receiving scores.

St. Joseph Regional (N.J.) is a Garden State powerhouse that finished 8-4 last season. The Green Knights boast 4-star offensive tackle John Olmstead (6-foot-6, 290 pounds), 4-star defensive end Howard Cross (6-foot-2, 240 pounds) and 3-star safety Connor Grieco (6-foot-3, 198 pounds) in the Class of 2019, as well as the state’s No. 1-rated Class of 2020 prospect in 6-foot-4, 270-pound guard Luke Wypler.

Muscle Shoals (Ala.) produced a 9-3 record in Alabama’s Class 6A last season. Three-star Class of 2019 quarterback Terrell McDonald will be back under center, while Class of 2020 middle linebacker Jackson Bratton (Alabama commit) will spearhead the Trojans defense.

Bob Jones (Ala.) finished 8-4 last season, falling 22-21 to Mountain Brook in the Class 7A state playoffs. The Patriots return plenty of talent, including 3-star cornerback Jaydon Hill.

The St. Matthews Catholic (Ottawa, Canada) Tigers are coached by Jean Guillaume and have held a tryout this spring to field the team that will be representing “The Land of 10 Provinces” in the inaugural Freedom Bowl. Tiger teammates Xavier Gervais (QB) and Alex Ross (OL) played in the 8th annual International Bowl in Arlington, Texas, this past January as members of Team Ontario.

    • I suddenly wish Bridgewater had known he was breaking the rules and kept it on the DL.  He obviously cares a lot about that program and those kids.  Hate to see a guy who cares like that get taken down while the true cheaters are out there doing their thing.
    • Yes, the free market should be allowed to draw the lines between amateurism and professionalism. The beauty of playing strictly for the love of the game will certainly be allowed to persist. And, kids and adults alike play A LOT of games for fun as it is. See adult rec leagues, intramurals etc. This includes those who've been able to become wealthy through playing the sport as well!  I think that, eventually, people like most all of us are going to recognize that it is preposterous to have teenagers getting paid to play high school sports, and/or get a free college education along with the extra compensation. Most of us have been fans of the game and of the school, not the "star" athletes. In the long run, I don't think there will be much of a market for paid teenager athletes. But, if someone is willing to part with their $ to allow a kid to be less poor, and that means that School A easily crushes the competition, I don't think that's a bad thing. It IS a thing that will cause a great many people to lose interest. And that will in turn diminish the market, which will of course mean kids aren't making any money anyway. At issue, as I keep harping on, is the fact that the "big time" sports world where NIL money is available is an entirely different, beast of an animal that K-12 schools and even universities are not equipped to manage. Nor should they be. Big time, for profit sports should be separated from schools. The mission of the two entities is competely misaligned. 
    • It is somewhat understandable for a guy who's passionate about the sport, and who reached very close to the pinnacle of it, to be dismissive of the many dimwits making the rules who have none of the above characteristics. And, he may also be considering the possibility that calling attention to the (perhaps) absurd nature of the rules and/or the dearth of funding in high school football may be worth it in the big picture. He's almost certainly going to have the opportunity to coach at the higher levels, and is not likely to be at Norhwestern for very long, anyway. He may make a bigger impact long-term/big picture doing this sort of thing than just winning a couple state titles and jetting.
    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.
