Being new to the board, I thought I would give out a shout to my area.  Some people blow off Lee County for not having a state championship in football.  I totally understand.  However, our area has produced many NFL players and a HOF er in Deion.  The truth is, our talent is so spread out we can't really get one program to be the all-star team.  2010 South Fort Myers lost to Duke and the Norland team by 21.  FM in the early '90s could have won a state title if not for being in the same class as STA.  FM hung with STA for a half in '01 but had too many kids going both ways and got worn down.  Fort Myers is currently 4th in the state with total wins which means we have played football for a long time, but also have put a nice team on the field most years.  Fort Myers' all sports program has won 6A all sports trophy in '15 and '16 and came in second this year.  State titles by our girls basketball team 3 years in a row and should make it 4 this year.  Softball won state in '16 but lost in the semi-final this year.  Volleyball, always tough.  All I'm saying is that none of you are going to be impressed but being a Greenie is awesome.  I look forward to meeting posters on this site to in Orlando for the State Championships.   Oh one more thing.  Big thanks to Josh for running his site.  It's by far the best I've found.

Riverdale and Golden Gate are for real as in capable of winning a couple playoff games.  Cypress Lake and Mariner are not.  If Immokalee gets their qb healthy, no telling how far they can go.  Dunbar with numerous D1 players is  a mess  up to this point.  Should know a lot more after tomorrow's game.

Is the former Apopka coach/player still at Riverdale?

SW FL has always produced great wrestlers.  Jeff Mustari of Lely was an All-American 35 years ago when Florida wrestlers were not typically recognized on the national scene.  

Back then a lot of kids wrestled and played football, which was great for football.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
