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

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.

    • 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 are zero coaches on campus, every single coach left 
    • 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
