Vero Beach recent jump in strength of schedule

[Floridatech]

This is to acknowledge how Vero went from playin a decent Brevard team in the KOC and a garbage Palm Beach team Wk1 to playing a possible State finals Brevard team in the KOC and an OOS Wk1 team.......

2016

KOC Win over Palm Bay Heritage 31-13

Wk1 Win over Santaluces 42-0

2017

KOC Win over Viera 42-30

Wk1 Win over Oscar Smith 28-21

Pretty impressive that Vero were able to still pull out the wins with the significant jump in scheduling most teams woulda probably lost.....

Lookin forward to another jump in scheduling this year too....

Maybe the coach felt that playing all garbage and losing in the 2nd round was getting repetitive. 

He might have been pressured by higher ups to change it up a bit. 

I have followed high school football on a national level for over 10 years and the one main thing I noticed is the teams that get to the top and stay at the top tend to test themselves against the best teams in their state and country. 

Getting stud transfers doesn’t hurt. Lol. 

You have to be committed to making the program better. Vero seems to be stuck in neutral. But it is getting better

Same schedule basically but Venice replaced Oscar Smith but I know a couple of teams that played better against Vero in the Spring, KOC, and regular season games.....

Lazindex had your strength of schedule at 121 for 2018.  That counts the 2 playoff games.  33 8A teams had a harder SOS in 2018.  Just pointing out facts.  I personally think SOS means very little.  Lakeland had a very weak SOS entering the playoffs.  After playing 5 games they ended up #80

Vero Beach reminds me a lot of Venice. Always plays a relatively weak regular season and struggles to beat better teams in the playoffs- hence Saint Thomas Aquinas.

I think Vero Beach should play Venice every year to start a rivalry. We’re playing you guys at the citrus bowl this year. Am not implying we are going to win, but it sure will be fun.
