Columbia and their road to redemption

Recommended Posts

Columbia this season has made a serious statement that they can still compete with and be the best team in North Florida

 

Let's look at past 3 games, in the previous 2 seasons the last 3 opponents Columbia played had a 4-1 record against Columbia 

 

This year Columbia went 3-0 against those teams,  Buchholz Lee and Madison County 

 

There was a quote recently by a unnamed poster that described in not so direct words that Columbia should not have been proud of how they played in the kickoff classic because it proved nothing, well i guess this stretch did prove something and made things clear that we were no one's pushover

 

[If I inherited a 7A team that won 1 district title in the past 5 years and could not figure out how to get past a good 1A team in my backyard, my focus would be on preparing my team to face those locals. "Winning" a preseason scrimmage against some big name does not necessarily tell me anything about how well we will perform against those local teams who have eaten our lunch in the recent past. 

If my team beat a big program in a scrimmage, I would gather the boys together and tell them "Until you prove otherwise, you are 2-time district runners-up and little brother to the 1A school down the road.  And I don't want to hear different until you prove otherwise."]

 

 

Now Columbia has beaten Madison County to end a long term streak and proved they are no "baby brother" to anyone

 

Columbia is also a win over Atlantic Coast and Fletcher from winning a district championship which they will have a opportunity to do next home game versus Fletcher which will also be homecoming

 

I expect a standing room only crowd for the Fletcher game,  speaking of which 

 

@DarterBlue2 i would advise getting to that game probably around 6:45-7 if possible so you won't have to crawl over people to the seat lol

Someone is gloating.

 

Just thought of you before I came here.  IMG and STA lost.  Columbia beat a 1A school.  Best football week of your life?

Any given Friday, any given Friday 

 

For the record i did pick Mater Dei, Miami Central and Columbia in those games mentioned :)

Looks like you're toughest matchup will be this week. Good luck 

Trinity Christian will be a tough one

 

They are one of the best in the state and are our biggest competition for best in northeast Florida 

 

Should be a heck of a game,  it also supposed to be live streamed so once I get a link I'll put it up

Does Madison still run that option offense?

Yeah they still run wing T

 

They did try to get creative with what looked to be end arounds and read option/triple option

 

They did do well running the ball in first half but i think they wore down a bit in the second half, it also seemed like our speed both offense and defense caught Madison a little off guard, they struggled as game went along with covering our receivers

 

 

I'm not sure what Pahokee has but if Pahokee can do spread Madison out and force Madison to have to play from behind they have a chance to win

 

2nd half Madison seemed to have to abandon the run game (at least compared to how they ran in first half) because they were too far behind and were forced to go to heavy pass which was probably something they didn't want to have to do but did it to try and stay in the game

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
