Hearing good things from several teams here in North Central Florida

Bradford 

Columbia 

Fort White 

 

Bradford did decent during 7v7 in Lake City but unfortunately i didn't get to see them play us during the event 

 

They were 2 seed but lost to Buchholz who ran table before losing to us in finals

 

What does Bradford bring back?

I would keep my eye on the Celtics of Trinity Catholic. Under former Trenton coach Thomas I think he will take a group of pretty solid players, that did not do well under coach Sturdivant, and mold them into the team they used to be. Once the Celtics start rolling watch out. The KOC against Buchholz will divulge a lot.

I expect them to do well in their 2nd year under their new HC. Went 10-2 and made it to the state semi-finals under him in year one, before running into Raines. They looked the part at the 7v7 at CHS. They do have a tougher schedule this year though. 

 

My eyes are on Fort White though. Always well coached and play good football. With a manageable schedule and multiple transfers coming in, I expect them to make some noise in 3A.

Didnt see Bradford at the CHS tourney but Ft White played them following week at the 1-4A UF 7v7 tourney and beat them twice. Ft White went 6-2 on the day only loss's coming Chamgnat Catholic 7-6 and some other team who had South Ridge player Marcus Flemming on it so not sure if it was a true HS team or Team made of multiple athletes from other schools but that team won the tourney.

Any region or classification

 

Any teams that are worth keeping a eye on? 

Class 8A, Region 1, Orlando area: Wekiva, Apopka, West Orange, Boone, Boone being the live dark horse.

Class 8A, Region 2, Dr. Phillips going for the repeat. 

Class 7A, Region 1, Edgewater should be solid.

BTW, I should have included Seminole in 8A, Region 1, in my list. I am still optimistic about their chances.

Regarding Edgewater, the most I can say is that they have some nice looking athletes and the coaching staff seems to know what it's doing. I think they could be anything from a first round playoff team to one that could make the regional final. It may come down to how much improvement they make as the season progresses.

They graduated their Rb/QB  and WR  and a few defensive pieces. But they bring back their other main RB  along with key underclassmen that made big plays for them all season

I'm on the fence with Merritt Island. Their always up and down especially battling Palm Bay. But those are the 3 favorites in that district Palm Bay Merritt Island and Rockledge

Did I see that Bradford is playing Cocoa this year?

According to Maxpreps, Bradford picked up Cocoa and University Christian. Bold move to pick up 2 powerhouse programs.

Let's see where each of team is mid season. That's a long way away. By then we should have a good idea how things may play out. I am not going to lie. I thought VB was going to at least make the regional final last year. I was surprised when they lost in the second round at home.

I tried to tell y'all I ain't trust the offense because I seen it live every week but they have lost at home in the playoffs before in 2008 they had a talented team where my cuzo played on that team I mean that team had two rbs and my cuz was one of em and that team gets talked about alot by everyone

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      By Perspective · Posted

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

      Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
