...imagine below.  Could it happen?  How would attendance be affected?

  • 6 teams from Jacksonville in title games
  • 7 teams from Dade/Broward in title games
  • Only 1 team from Central FL in a title game...no teams from Tampa or Orlando
  • 5 Miami vs Jacksonville matchups
  • First time ever with 5 teams from one county in a title game(Miami-Dade)

 

8A Columbus vs Mandarin

7A St Thomas Aquinas vs Lakeland

6A Miami Central vs Lee

5A Northwestern vs Raines

4A Carol City vs Bolles

3A Chaminade-Madonna vs Trinity Christian 

2A Champagnat vs University Christian

1A Madison County vs Panhandle Team

8A Columbus vs Mandarin  (fourth most probability)

7A St Thomas Aquinas vs Lakeland  (5th most probability)

6A Miami Central vs Lee  (7th most probability)

5A Northwestern vs Raines  (6th most probability)

4A Carol City vs Bolles  (least probability)

3A Chaminade-Madonna vs Trinity Christian  (most probability)

2A Champagnat vs University Christian  (third most probability)

1A Madison County vs Panhandle Team. (second most probability)

Lee best shot to make finals was probably 2016

 

That team had the defense that is needed in playoffs, last 2 years not so much

 

If I were a betting man these are order of probability I could see those scenarios happening

There are a number of other scenarios that could still result in Tampa and Orlando-area teams being shut out of the title games, ie Columbia rather Lee in 6A, Godby/Vanguard rather than Raines in 5A, Cocoa rather Bolles in 4A.  

Since 2000, there has always been at least one team from the Tampa or Orlando areas in the playoffs.  With the emergence of Mandarin and major obstacles standing in the way of Armwood and Plant, the odds of it happening may be increasing.

It would be interesting considering how well Central Florida has been on the rise lately

With the realignment of 6A north, in a manner of speaking, a title game slot for a Tampa team out of Region 2 was taken away (because Region 2 is sooo weak) and given to Region 1, which is full of north FL teams.

Tampa already had a contender in 7A Region 2(Plant), so Armwood moving in there is not necessarily a "gain" for the Tampa area .

Disagree somewhat

 

8A-

Plant v. Columbus

 

7A

Armwood/Lakeland v. STA/Venice

 

6A

6A North is Weak AF. and is wide open. IF Mainland is their usual self, it should be Mainland  V. Miami Central

yes region 2 is very weak and is far weaker then it was last few years if that's even possible

 

Region 1 Isn't that bad and is better than it was for most of the previous cycle

 

 

And no plant isn't winning the 8a north and unless Armwood somehow gets better from this past year they will lose to Lakeland by same margin they lose to these 6a Miami teams in finals every year

8A North is down to Dr. P, Apopka, Mandarin, Plant, and Sar. Riverview. I'll take Plant's chances among that group.

You are discounting a lot of good teams.  West Orange, Osceola, Winter Park, Bartram Trail and Seminole come to mind.  Plant has a good a shot as all but there are some quality teams you are leaving out.

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      With the rise of social media, kids don’t need to be illegally recruited. They know where the hot hand is. They know what coaches have the connections and where the coaches will be at. Plus kids recruits other kids. They all star stack. I’m not saying they should, I’m just saying these kids all attend the same camps, tourneys etc. they talk. They know the process.

      So your saying if a team has like 15 transfers in one season,  I need to have like a team of investigators and video tape to realize that the coach is recruiting. Come on. The truth is all of the super teams recruit and yes some players come because of the winning culture. I know its impossible to get full proof  on everyone that cheats and even when they do have evidence and catch teams red handed like Winter Park.....NOTHING HAPPENED. Its the reason they should have competitive promotion and demotion so all the super teams who do bend (CHEAT) the rules get to beat each other up.

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?
