Are they speaking all-time or this season?

Idk you tell me 

 

I copied and pasted it 

 

Congrats to Raines becoming champs again. Tbh I honestly think that Jacksonville have 5 out of 25 best powerhouse high school football programs in Florida. Raines, Lee, Trinity, Bolles, and Mandarin. Reason why i put Lee and Mandarin is because both have one of the toughest schedules in there district.

I have to agree  Schedule wise for Lee and Mandarin.  I think as it stands this year, those teams can hold there own against most schools.  This year was big for Mandarin as I expect kids to begin flooding the transfer list for football again now. A few head coach transitions hurt them. I think this coach has stabilized things.

Which one of these if any are top 25 FL PROGRAMS? 

Raines...maybe.  They have been qualifying for state title games since the 70's.  As of now they are the only Gateway school with any titles.  Waiting to see if we can add Mandarin to that list.  Mandarin has no history, other than this year and 2015.  Lee comes and goes, but hasn't qualified for a title game since the 60's.  Bolles and TCA's success can be directly linked to a single coach for each school.  One recently retired (Bolles) and the TCA coach probably isn't too far behind.  Prior to those coaches, Bolles was decent and TCA was a lay up for anyone on their schedule.

Edgewater blew Lee to shreads,  i can't see Lee even competing with the other powerhouses in the larger classifications 

 

Their big wins were a 1 score win over raines week 1 (they also beat them last year only to lose in first round) and Columbia (who was down to a 3rd string qb after they knocked the starter out for second time that season and the backup got benched after a quarter of playing) 

 

Lakeland beating Edgewater like they did didn't exactly help Lee argument either

I do see potential with Mandarin being able to grow into a powerhouse they just aren't a powerhouse yet

Mandarin has always been known as sort of a sleeping giant since it opened in 1990.  Lots of resources and community support, but could never get the right guy in there to make it happen.  Coaches would just come and go, so no one really paid them any attention until recently.

Haha, Lee was on the wrong side of Karma.  If a certain officiating crew could actually count they probably wouldn't have even played Edgewater.

Well, hopefully Mandarin can get it done Saturday or at least be consistent in the upcoming years.  We don't need any more of going from first to worst.....like Flanagan has done.

Flanagan fell apart after a major coaching exodus 

 

If mandarin can maintain stability they should be fine

Not surprising really.  Too bad they only pay coaches a little stipend, basically the same little stipend I got for being a tech coordinator while teaching elementary school.  Believe me, it wasn't much.  Then they wonder why coaches leave and go to Alabama...just using that as an example. Well....pay them something and they may stay.

    • 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.
