What happen to the coach that got them to elite level 

They've had seasons where it looks like they are getting on track.....then the coach leaves and it falls apart the next season. There are probably kids walking around the halls of Bartow who could help that team, but they just don't want to be a part of it.

I think the same is true at a number of schools.  Lord knows there is a ton of talent in Polk County..always was.  Some of these schools, like Bartow, used to be considered rural and the kids there 30+ years had that tough, workman-like attitude.  The kids grew up working outdoors from a young age and got strong. 

As those areas have become more urbanized, it seems like some of their schools have lost that "edge" that made them nasty on the football field.  Football was deep in the roots of Polk County...really a part of the culture.  For whatever reason, some kids are being pulled in a different direction.

That seems to be the case from what I have heard.  A ton of nobody cares apathy.

    • 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. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
