5a Mia Jackson (Dark Horse)

[“PANTHER NATION(CODE BLUE)]

No one is talking about this team but they have started 2-0 won their first game 53-0 and won last night 49-0 granted not over world beaters but Jackson is not the Jackson of last year 

which makes our win over them even more impressive and while gibbons has started 0-2 and AHP 0-1 and in a tie game right now with Sj on the road possibly going 0-2 as well.

i wouldn’t laugh at the possibility at Jackson. Taking this district

Over hype ? Na Jackson wins are speaking for itself but aye u could have atleast said u were wrong I about us vs western if we would have lost I bet u would have been on the post lol but aye Dillard hasn’t proved anything yet and I already said there not winning anything this year this year is all about creating a identity

 Wouldn’t be saying nothing.. it’s funny you shyt on Deerfield cause they stay shytting the bed (which they deserve) but they actually play top teams while they win some n lose some .. But you come trying to overhype teams (which I love Jackson) cause y’all beat them... Jackson is a 3 tier team like y’all n Weston... But don’t make it seem like they are state contenders...

How you know their not tho ? And western is ranked in a lot of 8a tolls but now their no one special cuz we beat em that same western team beat Deerfield at Deerfield last year in the playoffs and made it to the 3rd round. And let’s not hype their “big games” cuz they lose em more then they win em if that’s the case Dillard doesn’t shy away from big competition either.

Are you sure that’s the same western team from last year? How many players they return from that playoff team last year?

It’s the same western team same star qb same star rb they lost a few to graduation but their core is still there. Which is why they are ranked top 20 in south Florida poll and top 10 in broward.

When I say star I’m talkn about the star of their TEAM..not the star of the nation or state Your so busy trying to diminish them cuz we beat them but yet u picked us to lost to them just like u picked us to lose against Jackson.

just admit you was wrong and u slept on Dillard bro lol we still cool.

i never said western was some dematha or mater dai but they did beat Deerfield on the ROAD then beat a palm beach team who beat Miramar on the road at Their place with the same qb and rb and coach tandem they have now. @OldSchoolLion am I missing suen.

Nah never said that all I said is those were two solid wins by us which shows Dillard has improved a great ton from years past. 

As I stated before Dillard will not win states this year or come close but if they go 8-2 this year they will possibly accumulate enough points as a district champion to get a favaorable up north matchup witch will avoid the matchup vs a dade team for atleast one week. Which will improve our chances to making it to the second round. 

This is a “finding your identity” year for Dillard building a foundation and making strides then next year take the next step forward.

I think Dillard wins district, and things could align for a regional final run for them.

Panther, I can't judge since I didn't see the game, but I really like the fact that Dillard won a close one.  That shows metal toughness, regardless of the opponent.  I think you have good reason to be excited.  Like you said in the past, this season is about more than wins/losses for Dillard.  If the kids and the parents like the coaches and are having a good time, the wins will come.  Paws up!

Back to topic: Does Jackson have what it takes to knock off Gibbons in 2 weeks? How about AHP?

I believe they can and will beat gibbons 

[Cjm04]

I don't like Jax vs AHP, but they are talented, and when they really start playing together watch out.

Gibbons got Dillard this week, Jackson next. If they start the season 0-4, then they will be the most over hyped team ever. Just saying.

The question I ponder is, what prompted people to think so highly of Cardinal Gibbons to begin with?  And I don't mean that to sound as if Cardinal Gibbons is not worthy of high praise.  They may very well be worthy.

As I have pointed out elsewhere, Gibbons rose to prominence very quickly and is scant in the "quality wins" department over the past few seasons. It appears to me that some are basing their judgement on "rated" individual talent.  I cannot think of what other criteria they are using to justify.  And if these rating services are biased, which is likely, using individual talent to compare teams may be a questionable practice.  

I have similar questions about Chaminade. Gibbons and Chaminade both have great teams compared to many others out there.  I think some set unrealistic expectations for them, forgetting they are sometimes playing schools with substantially larger student populations.  That is especially the case with Chaminade.

Cardinal Gibbons was expected to be good because they have been improving under their coach and most expected them to take the next step

 

I think Cardinal Gibbons is still a contender in 5a but perhaps they shouldn't have been ranked as high in state and national polls as they started out with 

 

But can they still win 5a, absolutely

As was pointed out in another thread, its because they played AHP close last year as to why there was so much hype.

As we all know, some teams are just built to give another team problems.  I find it interesting that a team like Gibbons, who wasn't even part of a "best of Broward County" discussion not too long ago, plays a couple of close games against the same team (an excellent one)., and that catapults them to star status, yet we have other teams that have been consistently winning quality games for years, and don't garner the same level of attention.  

For example, Columbus has been playing close games against the toughest of Miami-Dade for years, even winning some of those games.   Last year, Columbus beat a talented Miami High team during the regular season and lost a squeaker to them in the playoffs. 

Columbus typically plays a very tough schedule, and their record often shows it.  They sometimes lose to teams whose records are not that impressive, making them appear less impressive.  For instance, they lost a close game to a 5-5 Northwestern team in 2015 (that played a brutal schedule) that likely would have smoked 95% of all teams in Florida.  

Am not a Columbus homer.  Just think it is a good example.
