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.

    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
    • I like it if there is only 4 classes
