Pahokee has won in Vero...has Vero ever won in Pahokee (regular season)? Pahokee has beaten some talented Vero teams (Z. Matta, the Jackson olineman)

Corbin Weaver played on those teams that y'all beat he was rb those teams were coached by Coggins they too where supposed to go deep in the playoffs

Why do people put stock into Kickoff Classic and Spring Games? 

I will never understand why in a pre-season game people get super excited if they win, because for me the game is purposely designed to be a practice game. Yes, it it more than a controlled scrimmage, but it certainly is not a regular season game or playoff game.

Maybe because some teams play better teams in kickoff classics then they will play in the regular season??

 

2016 the best team we stepped on the field with was Apopka 

 

No team on our regular season schedule would have beaten apopka

 

You see matchups like mainland vs apopka 

 

Vero vs viera

 

BTW vs AHP 

 

 

You telling me that those matchups don't peak interest?

Maybe sooner than you think. I have always wanted to check out the famed jungle. Now that I am retired, I have a little more time on my hands. When schedules for all Orlando area teams are posted, I will take a look at which weeks seems relatively bare in the area. If I find a bad week with no Apopka district game and no other big games in the greater Orlando area, I may make the trip up if Columbia has a good opponent.

How is apopka the city

You have old Apopka and you have new Apopka. Old Apopka is part rural, part small town and part inner city. New Apopka is mostly suburban and ranges from lower middle income to upper income. Old Apopka provides most of the talent on the football team, but not all. New Apopka has come about as the Metro Orlando area grew, and people working in the area had a need for more housing. 

The three main roads running near or through the heart of Apopka are 441, known as Main Street when it passes through Apopka; Park Avenue which started off as Apopka Vineland Road and then becomes Rock Springs Road later on; and a section of 436 which ends when it merges into 441. 

There is not a lot for young people to do in downtown Apopka. But stuff is near enough (either in an Apopka zip code or in adjoining sections of Orange and Seminole counties) so that if you have transportation you can do city type stuff. 

Oh, and the town loves Apopka's football team. The school probably has the best consistent attendance in the Metro Orlando area. 

Don't know if the above helps a bit. I would be glad to answer more specific questions.

In a pre-season game? Nope, not at all. If you want to play them, play them so the W or L goes on the record, otherwise it is a meaningless game where teams run base packages, are testing certain things out, and allowing many kids some game experience. BTW, for going all out and playing Apopka how did CHS do in the regular season? 3 losses in the first 4 games and only a 5 point win over your "rival"?

No, treat pre-season like pre-season.

Would have been more if it wasn't for refs trying to basically hand them the game 

 

What refs flag a team for nearly 200 yards? 

 

And that Gainesville team finished with like -17 yards rushing 

 

Fact is they were dominated physically and despite score looking close they were never going to win

 

But hey at least they generally make the game interesting, i don't think Suwannee has kept game closer than 2 tds since 2012
