This may mark the beginning of the rise of Windermere High, and the decline of West Orange, as a football program. Bob Head was a very good football coach who got the most out of the kids he coached. Sorry to see his tenure at West Orange end this way and hope that: a) he will get a second chance elsewhere; and B) something like what happened never happens again.

I really feel for the guy.  In the old days, this would have passed.  Today, everyone is so worried about image, your so-called friends and supporters bail on you in a heartbeat, regardless of circumstances.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Gosh, with the mindset today, it's a matter of time before any of us gets thrown in jail and/or fired.  Let's make an entire family, not to mention his players, suffer because "it didn't look good"...pathetic.

Rush Probst, Robert Kraft, Larry Baer...folks are dropping like flies.  Has anyone noticed?:rolleyes: Will we have any coaches left in 10 years?

The irony...I think most sports fans are well aware that many athletes, coaches, franchise owners etc, are not your typical, middle-of-the-pack folks who go through life without some bit of controversy.  It's their edginess that often propels them to prominence in business and/or athletics, right?.  

How many coaches or pro athletes out there have never...gotten in a nasty altercation with a wife/girlfriend, slapped/punched someone not truly in self-defense, committed adultery, watched porn on the internet, gotten disorderly and/or drove while under the influence, etc etc   I bet many of us could have been arrested if we had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if there had been iphones back in the day to video us at the "wrong" time. 

A pattern of behavior is one thing...but today one incident can ruin your career and means of putting food on the table.  I find our lack of compassion/tolerance today much more disturbing than some of these behaviors for which people are being put in jail or fired from jobs.   Do any others feel this way?

nope they give those to all the kids that participate in sports.  That's why we have 9 classes.  

I have no problem with anyone who participates and finishes their commitment to get a medal

 

But there should be a significant difference towards people who finish as the best to be given the ultimate trophy

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      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.

      I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.
