...for folks in southwest FL, it will be tough to choose which of these two games to attend.  Naples' only loss came against Miami Palmetto, and BC lost to Superior Collegiate.  Charlotte's only loss came against Venice.  Based on results so far this season, would think Naples and Charlotte are solid favorites.  Any SW FL folks with opinions?

   

Barron Collier(7-1) @ Naples(7-1) 6AD12 matchup to decide the district champion.  "The Crosstown Showdown" rivalry game.  Naples has won the last 19 games, including a 16-15 win last season.  
Charlotte(7-1) @ Port Charlotte(6-2) 6AD10 matchup. Charlotte has won the past 5 meetings.  The last 2 games have been decided by less than a TD.

This could/should be its own thread.  There is so much to talk about in this game...defensive clinic.  The tabs with added information are incredible.  Holding this Lakeland team scoreless in a half of play...look at the statistics at 1:04:26....amazing  ....the hit at 51:55.  

Here is another pretty good one from 2012. No big names on that year's Lakeland team. They were able to hold on to win 28-27 in OT, but you could see the progression of Kathleen that would really be evident in 2013 when they beat Lakeland for the first time since '92.

I would say Naples and Charlotte are slight favorites.  A Barron Collier or Port Charlotte win would not be a hugh upset.  These teams pretty evenly matched from what I see.

There was a year the Lakeland vs Kathleen game got cancelled; 2002 I believe.  I thought Kathleen would have won that game had it been played.

2003. Polk County cancelled the game because 4 Lakeland players came down with Meningitis. Lakeland ended up 6-3 that season and lost in the first round. Kathleen was pretty good and likely would have won that game going away. There are still Kathleen people that think it was a conspiracy to keep them from winning and breaking the streak.

Does anyone out there think George Jenkins could give Osceola a run for the district champion this year? I haven’t heard  an awful lot of hype about Osceola this year. 

No. Jenkins did well with their easy early season schedule. But once they hit the tougher part of the schedule, they got handled. I would love for them to pull off the upset, but I don’t see any chance of them hanging with Osceola.

Osceola year in and year out never gets hype, but they are always a solid team.. As for Jenkins having a chance i would say no, i watched them against Gateway and they could not stop the run. Just off that game i can't see them stopping Osceolas running attack either.

Apologize in advance if I am getting my games mixed up.  I watched some of the Lakeland v Jenkins and if I remember correctly, Jenkins had a young, big qb who was very mobile and who could throw the ball...quite impressive.  If I am remembering correctly, who is he?  He was moving the ball, at least in the first quarter.

Junior QB named Starks. Good athlete, duel threat kid

But gwdrum is correct, GJ was beating poor teams to start the year. Osceola will pound them.

...some games tonight with interesting storylines

Palmetto(7-1) @ Killian (3-5) 8AD16 matchup     Big rivalry game for the "Cat Trophy."

Norland(3-5) @ Northwestern(3-5) 6AD16 matchup     A 4-loss Norland team shocked Northwestern last year...likely two of the better 3-loss teams in the state now 

Deland(7-1) @ Sandalwood(5-3) 8AD1 matchup     Sandalwood has won the last 3 meetings easily..is this Deland's year?  If Deland wins and Mandarin loses to Palm Coast, it's a 3-way tie in the district race.

Flagler Palm Coast(7-2) @ Mandardin(5-3) 8AD1 matchup.  FPC has won 4 of the past 7 meetings, including a 24-17 2OT win last season.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.

      Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.

      I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.
