Mainland vs Bob Jones AL

RB D'Andre McMillian of Mainland is the real deal.  He made some fantastic plays last night and is very elusive.  The TD he scored with 90 seconds left was especially impressive, weaving his way through multiple defenders.  

Mainland had the chance to win the game.  To their credit, they hung in there and kept fighting even though they always seemed a step behind.  A few things cost them.  It just didn't seem like this team had the swag of Mainland teams of the past, especially on defense.  They have some huge O linemen, but they need conditioning...badly.  They dwarfed the D line of Bob Jones, but their lack of mobility was allowing penetration and Mainland's qb was on the run a fair bit.  

Mainland stuffed the run very well, but the pass defense...oh, the pass defense.  They just could not stop Bob Jones, who had an effective qb and an impressive 6'3" sophomore WR with great hands.  Turns out the latter is a baseball star. He was injured and out for BJ's last drive, but they still completed 2 huge pass plays without him.

Bob Jones is a solid team, but nowhere near the talent of the Milton team that beat Cardinal Gibbons.  If they put up that many points on Mainland, I worry what would happen if Mainland faced a Carol City or Central.

    • Consequently, Lake Minneola has just announced it has cancelled spring football.  What goes around comes around. 
    • And lastly with the district classifications changing. Dillard new district foes atleast for the next two years are as following    *Northeast *Suncoast  *Boynton Beach  *Dr.Joaquin Garcia    never heard of that last school, I’m assuming they’re a new program.    but a district with no STA, GIBBONS, AHP, CHAMINADE, ELY, MIRAMAR, & ETC lets see if Dillard is still a above avg program & can run away with this district and be one of the top teams in broward.    or if they fell off even more from last year & this district will be a lot closer then most predict. Guess we will see. 
    • They also just won the 7on7 broward county showcase a few weeks back. So hopefully that spills over to the fall season.    I know we got a new DC & OC this year & the quarter back spot is up for grabs. Especially after last years below avg offensive production. So we will see how things are shaping up against a very solid monarch squad in the spring game May 23rd @ Dillard. 
    • They bring almost 80% of the roster which was 9th & 10th graders. They got a few transfers in but nothing crazy. Atleast not yet.    from my sources it looks as if the the second year head coach for Dillard is trying to rack up some wins under his belt & not scheduling above the talent he actually has which will either A. Get him fired after this season or see more kids transfer out or both.    if Dillard can go 8-2 or dare I say undefeated & have a deep playoff round (regional finals) that could One really put the program in a bright light for transfers & also instill a winning culture back in the storied program. 
    • They were a Lake County all star team because they were taking all of the Lake County players.  First Academy hired the Lake Minneola recruiter and he took a bunch of the players with him to First Academy.  Now Lake Minneola has a depleted roster with a tough schedule.  The coach wasn't aware of this until he arrived and saw the roster.
