Though the 2016 game was technically a forfeit win for Glades Central

Very strange time to be playing tonight. 9 PM????????? Glad that it's on ESPNU. Should be a very good game as Hoover is never a pushover at any time.

7A St Thomas Aquinas scored 41 points in the first half and cruised past Miramar 48-6.  In 10 games this season, the Raiders have outscored their opponents 461-67.   Interestingly, the last 4 years that STA has beaten Miramar by 30 or more points(07, 08, 15 and 16), they won a state title.  It's a good thing they don't have a qb this year, or they might be a threat in the playoffs. :rolleyes:

7A Viera had a rough start to the season, but come into the playoffs on a 7-game winning streak after blasting 8-1 Heritage 51-13.

7A Fletcher pulled out the win over Mandarin in OT.  That's 7 of the last 8 they have taken in this series.  This team is 10 points away from being 9-1 this season.

7A Riverdale, 5A Godby and 5A Hardee finish undefeated regular seasons.  Wow!  

6A Escambia claims Ye Olde Wash Boiler Tub 19-14 in this great rivalry.

5A Jesuit makes it 19 in a row over Tampa Catholic with a 17-7 win.

4A Cocoa had been allowing an average of 24 points per game to date and gave up 42 to Rockledge.   Ouch.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • 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.
