Venice was a pretty nice place to watch a game, too. Was there for the Braden River game two seasons ago. Not sure I would want to attend this year's game, though!

The STA game last year was by far the best atmosphere to date. 

The Braden River games were no doubt huge crowds. Its much different than when Venice travels to BR. Their field is more spread out. They do not allow the visitors on the home side of the field. No bathrooms no concession. Rather odd to say the least.  As far as the game this year, it will be very interesting. I don't think either team is dirty but I will not be surprised to see a few 15 yard penalties. Neither team wants to lose players for the run in the post season. Winner is in the drivers seat for sure.

1998 soul bowl 2 at the old orange bowl... My first year in HS ... I went to the playoff game MNW vs Miami Jackson... Bruh... Kids had to get escorted home by police...

I hear like 40,000 were at that game. If I remember correctly Jackson pissed away the game in the dying moments.

Soul Bowl #2

In 1998, #1 ranked Northwestern met Jackson in the state semis in a game known as Soul Bowl 2.  Over 35,000 attended.  Down 14-2 with 2.5 minutes left, NW hit a bomb to bring the score to 14-9. NW did not recover the onside kick and with no timeouts left, the game was virtually over. After three plays, Jackson had the ball on their 24 yard line with 10 seconds left.  Jackson's coach called for his punter to turn tail and dash for his own end zone to give NW a safety.  Instead of inserting his punter, who had already fumbled once in the end zone, he called on the sure hands of his back-up quarterback. Junior Ronnie Jones lined up ten yards behind center and waited for the ball to fly into his hands.  He didn't wait long enough. Jones, who was in for his first play of the game, began to run toward the end zone even before the ball reached his hands. The ball fell to the ground, where it was swarmed by players from both teams. When the pile was unknotted, Northwestern owned the ball on the ten-yard line -- with six seconds left to play.  Now the game rested on one final play. Northwestern's offense lined up in a tight formation. Quarterback Sheffield took the snap, stepped back two feet, planted his cleats in the turf, and lobbed a blimp toward the south corner of the end zone. Northwestern receiver Antonio Bryant raced to meet the ball while jockeying for position with two Jackson cornerbacks. Bryant, taller than both his foes, was also savvy enough to stop suddenly and position himself in front of them. The ball landed in his outstretched hands as he fell to the ground.  Bulls 15-14. NW went on to win the state title.

Traz for a big game is a tough atmosphere no matter who the teams are.

in Texas, I covered Mid-County Madness (Nederland vs Port Neches-Groves) and the atmosphere at those games are crazy too. It’s a huge rivalry.

In 2005 the Celtics were in class 2B and we played Blountstown in the last round of the playoffs. The game was at West Port HS, Ocala because Trinity Catholic at that time did not have the facilities to handle playoff type crowds. From the beginning of play until the end the Btown fans and players acted like street thugs. Some really nasty things said and done. Some of the Btown players were repeatedly flagged and  3 or 4 were thrown out of the game for tossing their helmets in the air and at our players. We won 43-0. Again, the following year, we met Btown in the last round this time at their stadium. Another unruly crowd and this time denigrating our coach Kerwin Bell with vulgar taunts and signs. No helmets thrown in this one. We won 50-7. Don't know how Btown fans and players are these days as we haven't played them since. But, they were probably the worst case scenario. Celtic fans and players are always disciplined and never start confrontations. The principal of OTC reminds fans that the school does not even appreciate booing of the opposing team or referees.  Maybe that is why in 17 years of football the team and fans have never gotten into an altercation at home or away.

Not football,  but.....

Maybe my eyesight failed me but i couldn't tell by reading it

 

Considering the end of the article I'm gonna guess it was Ocala Trinity

http://www.gainesville.com/news/20110208/suwannee-trinity-catholic-disciplined-after-brawl

Suwannee and OTC were in a playoff game at Suwannee, OTC was up 3-2 and a player went down. Suwannee did what most teams are taught to do, and kick the ball out of bounds to allow player to get help. The unwritten rule was that OTC's thrown in should be tossed at a Suwannee player to allow them to begin their "possession." OTC instead restarted play while Suwannee was set up as if it was going to have possession. OTC has a quick score off that and ends puts the game out of reach.

That is a terrible lack of sportsmanship. If I were an administrator at OTC, the coach would have to answer to me and it would not be pretty! 

[Proseteye]

I had no idea as I do not follow any Celtic sport except football. Not knowing what actually happened and who was at fault I can't really comment. Any confrontation and behavior of this kind is never justified. I would assume from this article that Suwannee possibly started the disturbance " What Suwannee senior goalkeeper Jared Hendry did was inexcusable and he is being punished for it, charged with felony battery and ineligible for any other sports at the school". It also seemed that the poor behavior was on the part of the Celtic players shouting vulgarities. Again, this was an isolated incident nearly 8 years ago and definitely cannot be seen as any type of pattern.

 

DarterBlue2

Why are you singling out the OTC coach for having to answer to the administration. How about the Suwannee coach having to answer considering it was his player that was charged with a felony.

I don't approve of the behavior, but screwing up a person's life, ie future employment, with a felony charge for punching someone in the heat of a moment...there are more constructive ways to work through these things.

As a kid, I was on the tail end of such a blow in a basketball game...broke my nose, blood on the court, trip to the hospital....and it was intentional.  There were no police, no charges, and all parties eventually agreed to let the kid play again.  And he did, with no more incidents during the rest of the season.  The kid had no prior issues.  Who knows, maybe basketball was the only thing keeping the kid out of even bigger trouble, and taking that away from him could have led to worse things.

8 years ago???? You brought up stuff from 13 years ago???? Come on now, be consistent. It is telling that OTC ended up suspending more players than Suwannee. Larry Savage is a pretty level headed guy when it comes to these things and reports even he had vulgarities at him as a reporter from OTC. Did SHS and OTC's administration handle the situation as well as can be expected, absolutely. 

But you are the one who says never start anything.. Suwannee might have thrown the punch, but it wasn't without cause. 
-------------------------------
As to answer the original question, Niceville is a great place to play. Miami Northwestern brings a crowd as well and are both the rowdiest and most fun crowd at states this year. Manatee is a cool place to play (for CHS Fan, think Citizen's Field gap between players and fans) except metal bleachers.

I was there for the Don Bosco Prep game and the Miramar game many years ago. Both games were hot, but definitely enjoyable and the crowds were into the games.

So close to the field?

Visiting team... definitely SEMINOLE RIDGE.

[WhoopWhoop!!]

Recently in the panhandle,  Navarre, Crestview, Tate, and Gulf Breeze have pretty good atmospheres. In the mid to late 90’s I remember Sanford, Vero, and DeLand were tough to play at. Before Stetson renovated the stadium in DeLand, it was always cool seeing both teams walk through the crowd in the end zone to get to the field from when they walked across the street from the baseball stadium. Milton vs Pace is always a great atmosphere. Another ‘fun’ one was playing at Quincy Shanks.

Armwood  in 85 and 86 was the most raucous high school crowd I have ever seen

Well, first thing, we were discussing football not soccer and the reason that I brought up those two football games. I have no idea about soccer at Trinity and have never attended a game. I do question your take on this soccer game you reference. If OTC suspended more players than Suwanee what does that prove? All it would prove is that possibly the OTC coach took it more seriously. Not without Cause has nothing to do with who was ultimately at fault. The Suwanee player was charged. Apparently no OTC player was charged. The apparent vulgarities by the OTC players were disgusting as are all vulgarities no matter where they are used. They were rightly suspended for that. I have no idea if you were at that soccer game or not. I was not so I cannot claim to know first hand what actually transpired. If you were not at that game then you cannot claim to know first hand what actually transpired. All we have to go on is what a reporter wrote. As far as the Btown/OTC football games I actually attended both of those games and do have first hand knowledge.

Not trying to be difficult here. Just trying to put things in perspective.

I got a perfect one Dillard 

 

All i need is a time machine to the 90s, our crowd was one of best in all of FL 

 

But now the crowd has no interest in the game half the time and the students are in the nicest way i could put it

 

A bunch of knuckleheads who are lazy 

 

Maybe I'll put the students through boot camp this year since they have clearly been slacking for far too long
