FHSAA signed off today on a two-year extension of keeping the State Finals in Orlando through the 2015-16 season. Finals will likely find a new home in 2016 due to many conflicts on the sports schedule in December 2016

Well if I can remember the finals were played at Florida State University, Bethune Cookman University and Sunlife Stadium before coming to the Citrus Bowl. When it comes to the 2016 year I hope whatever location is chosen is a good one and one that's centrally located. From Miami/Broward area it takes about 3 in a half to 4 hours to get to Orlando and I'm sure the same would be said from coming up North. See what you don't want is issues arising like a Jacksonville school saying why do we have to travel way to Miami and a Miami school saying why do we have to travel to Jacksonville or Tallahassee.

If it's not in Orlando they should have it in Tampa or UCF stadium... Or somewhere central where it can be fair for everybody...

I am late but your right Orlando makes the most sense because it is centralized.  They will not do a college stadium anymore unfortunately due to the rule the FHSAA put into place that because all of the colleges who did not get to host that year complained that it gave an extra recruiting advantage because coaches could sneak in unauthorized visits and such.  So while I would love for it to be at UCF (such a better location for high school football and so much to do in the immediate area with lots and lots of parking) it will never happen.  I am hoping for Raymond James or maybe even Tropicana.

      DiLLARD HIGH 2024 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day.    but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided.    and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other.    I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year.    if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater.

      I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

      Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

      There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic
