Bradford High School

The school has been desperate for upgrades for years.  If you've ever been to Bradford, you know that the baseball team and football team share the same muddy field. This is a power move that will change the landscape of athletics in Bradford. The baseball team is currently getting a new field at another spot on campus.

I am always surprised that school districts that have multiple teams using the same stadium and multiple sports from multiple using the same stadium do not invest in the FieldTurf stuff. Gainesville and Tallahassee come to mind. 

Gene Cox did get turf this past year 

 

Idk why citizens doesn't, they also really need to improve that stadium big time, very overcrowded at entrance and not a lot of parking, Tiger stadium in Lake City has at least 2-3 times the parking space at citizens field does but that's a whole different issue that due to the over metro development of Gainesville will likely never be fixed

Impressive by the powers that be, as it shows a willingness and commitment to excel and raise the standard for their county and athletes. When was the last time that a high school has built a new stadium, or done something like Bradford replacing the field? The school has to be older than or equal to 30 years. 

I know that 7500+ seat stadium Tiger stadium in Lake City was built in 93 or 94 after they used memorial stadium since the 40s so it's probably one of the newer facilities among schools that have been around a long time and one of the largest stadiums in FL for a single high school team

The community has rallied behind the fact that the school district installed a new turf field at David Hurse Stadium. The community has now come together in the past month to fully donated a new scoreboard and sound system by NEVCO. The board will stand nearly 40 ft tall and will be installed starting the first week of August. After decades of neglect, David Hurse Stadium may soon be one of the best atmospheres in north Florida for high school football. 72D977EC-7F92-4CE3-97AA-74A977F51582.thumb.jpeg.c274551aa46fe634c44748b37c374d01.jpeg

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
