Last year seemed to be a breakthrough year for them, winning in the playoffs.  They lost to Dwyer in OT during the regular season and blew the game in regulation with a missed PAT in the last minute.  They gave Atlantic all they wanted in 2 games, losing by 7 pts each game.  I am probably forgetting someone, but it did not seem like they had any big-name talent...nor in prior seasons.  If so, they showed the ability to win with good team play and without over-reliance on transfers.   

Park Vista has one of the most seasoned coaches in south Florida.  Brian Dodds has been coaching for 30 years, including the past 11 seasons at Park Vista.  So, he has had a lot of time to build a foundation.  It seems like they have made slow, steady progress over the years building up to last year (versus flash-in-the-pan).  Interested in anyone's thought on them this year.

Lost to Pahokee last year in the KOC. They travel to Pahokee next week, so we will see how they look. I do know they lost a few transfers to Palm Beach Central as well.

Yes, Vista has given ATL fits over the past few games.  ATL is very talented, but I think Vista gets over the hump this year.  DO not get me wrong, the champ is the champ until they get dethroned, and ATL has earned the benefit of the doubt against ANYONE in the county right now.  Coach Jackson has the ship sailing.  I just think if they are going to get over the ATL hump, it will be this year.  ATL is young, they might not get another shot for a long time.

      DiLLARD HIGH 2024 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day.    but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided.    and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other.    I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year.    if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater.

      I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

      Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

      There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic
