Man, Rockledge fans in for a treat...Viera, Bolles, Miami Southridge and Palm Bay all at home.  Bet there are not too many teams in the state with two good teams from other areas of the state visiting them.   

Brevard has definitely stepped it up in a major way this past decade. Playing OOS more consistently and even hosted a few OOS teams.  Even Palm Bay hosted a team from Georgia in the spring.

In the first half we did stop the run 

The only big plays in the first half were pass plays,  if they can't pass on us they have no chance of winning in Lake City 

Mark this down 

Our rush defense will stop them

...interesting fact.  Only 2 teams in the past 15 years have allowed 21 points against Madison County and won(Deland and Pace).  If Columbia gets in a shootout with them, they will likely lose. 

In the past 6 games, Columbia only held Madison County below 21 once, and still lost 19-0.  Everyone knows how to beat Madison County...stop the run...but much easier said than done.   

Cocoa also did it in the semis of their first state championship run.

You can joke about it but there won't be any laughing when we are done with Madison County when we play week 5

 

It will simply be Columbia walking out with a win and Madison County being reminded what losing a regular season game feels like

Pushing bartram out of the circle like we pushing them off the top of region 1 this year 

 

...not to mention your prediction of the impending destruction of Lee and Bolles.

Below are some of the better teams in the state.  They are in no particular order other than geography and alphabetical.  Listed after each are all of their non-district games that I can find.  District games against "tough" opponents are noted in parentheses.  I have bolded the games against stronger teams(this is subjective).   

IMO, it is a toss-up between Northwestern, Central and Carol City for the toughest schedule.  I don't think any other teams come close to them.  Recognizing their brutal district schedules, they could have taken the easy way out by scheduling some powder puffs...but no way.  Even without their district games, they would have some of the toughest schedules in the state.  

Opinions anyone???

as I stated in another post, Dan, I think Central FL is leading the way in the scheduling of interesting, intercounty matchups...thanks

Throw in the KOC with Clearwater and the playoffs with BTW and Raines... it's a good schedule?

[Cat_Scratch]

Miami Central, Carol City and Northwestern get my votes for 1, 2, and 3.

[Cat_Scratch]

Also Booker T Washington has a tough schedule. I just hope they make the playoffs this year. Their fans have been awful quiet so far about this season. Something is brewing.
