There is going to be a rematch between Venice and IMG next year to help Venice prepare for STA. The game will be played at IMG and will probably be in week 7. So my question to everyone is: Will Venice get revenge on IMG and be ranked high in the nation? Or will this game be a 2017 repeat?

Talk to us about what Venice has in the way of returning talent next year and/or new talent?

* You had 9 seniors on defense that either started or had significant minutes on the field that have to be replaced?

* Losing your QB, work horse TB, TE, OT, OG other than the soph WR coming back you lose every other WR that played this year.......meaning only 4 returning starters on offense?

This will not be the same type of Venice team that played IMG a year ago, that was loaded with returning senior starters on offense and defense........Unless you have an plethora of under the radar type D-1 talent transferring in, I'm seeing a running clock type game the second time around with IMG.

I never said Venice was going to win this game. I just said it was preparation for STA, who Venice has to beat to win states.

Who's to say IMG is going to be as good as the one Venice played last year?

 

IMG honestly has been in decline since 2016, last 2 years they seem to be not as good as prior season

You breezed right by the question I asked, and then responded to my comment about the game????????

My bad. Venice has very little talent returning next year. I don’t currently know if we will have any good transfers/ upcoming players next year as it is far too early to be determined right now.

 I just have a hard time believing in the IMG concept for high school football. If you're already a four or five star player you've got your offers. Sometimes it really more has to do with the lifestyle and training. But I think most kids just want to be kids and go to school like normal kids and not tucked away in some athletic Academy with a college type schedule and non-stop regimented training.

 With more college kids at the elite programs leaving early for the NFL, folks like Nick Saban need these kids ready to play right out of high school.  That is where IMG comes in.  IMG is doing a much better job than some high schools of getting the kids in the proper physical condition and teaching them the skills needed to succeed right out of high school.

You're absolutely correct. IMG is just a training facility to help prepare kids for college and the NFL. Venice is going to get smacked against IMG next year lol.

    • 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. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
