The Ref should have threw all the PK coaches out the game!

561_Fan you already know how I feel about those Pahokee coaches.

The officiating was pretty bad, but the "real problem" ain't the Refs.

Rumor has it, that there will be a new staff at the end of this season...The principal was not pleased with that display by the HC...and there have been some things brewing all season anyways. Spoke to some people close to the program and you wouldn’t believe the things they say have gone on

I never saw a Ref pick up a flag because you argue a call, yes a coach should let the ref know that the call was bad, but in the same breath, he must display composure to show his team how to deal with adversity!!! That was as embarrassing of a display that I have ever seen from a Pahokee team, yes the officiating was terrible, but you can't loose your cool and get players kicked out when you have games ahead that those players could possibly be suspended.

I totally agree Muckcitypride1. Pahokee and GC have been plagued with bad officiating forever.

Heck!...It was used as a method of inspiration for many years. But coaches at this level should be role models.

But let's forget about the officiating. Cocoa out-coached Pahokee. Vero and Seminole Ridge did the same. GC probably will do it Saturday. I've never seen such an athletically gifted team become so lack luster. The problem starts at the top, and I don't think the players are the problem!

I am telling the Refs this year are the worse I have ever seen since I have been watching HS Football since the mid 70s!!!! That is not an opinion but a fact. I've watched one team get flags for this or that while the other team doesn't get anything. Its beyond belief what I am seeing. I don't know what FHSAA's policies on refresher courses for these Refs but I can tell you they need to go through one.

 

Last are Refs used for 7 on 7 events? If so, quit using them, because if you quit using them they will quit getting paid. The way I see it hurt their pockets!!!

Hello, does anyone know what Officials Association services this area?  Also, aren't most of the schools isolated from other towns and cities? I attended a playoff game at Glades Central 20 years ago, and I remember the school and football field being in the middle of nowhere.

I've seen pahokee play a few times this year. Its a shame they are 5-4. They have the talent to win states and could easily be 81- if not 9-0. Special teams has cost them at least 2 games that I saw, and just bad discipline all around. I went to school up in VA so I don't have a team down here but always pull for Pahokee after following them during the 2016 year. Hope they can bring it together for the muck bowl and the playoffs.

Honestly. The team seems to be falling apart these last 2 weeks. Muck Bowl (Glades Central) will probably make or break the season...Hopefully, everyone involved can pull it together to make a run in the playoffs.
