FHSAA's Original Proposal

[gatorman-uf]

The non-football proposal (using MaxPreps rankings to reclassify teams in classifications) wasn't the worst idea. If you want a reason, please feel free to look at Girls Basketball (2A and 3A).They are ranked the 31st best team in the state in girls basketball. In parentheses, max preps ranking.

Florida Prep (Melbourne) won the state championship:
Florida Prep 73, Victory Christian Prep 9 (446)
Florida Prep 88, City of Life Christian Academy 59 (71)
Florida Prep 77, Aucilla Christian 17 (463)
Florida Prep 67, Bayshore Christian Prep 35 (79)

The leading scorer for Florida Prep is the lone senior, they have a lone junior (4th best scorer), the rest are sophomores, freshmen, 8th graders, and 7th graders. Why have this team continue to dominate 2A?

In 3A, Somerset Prep won 3A state championship and are ranked 42 in the state. In parentheses, max preps ranking.
Somerset Prep 94, Highlands Christian 31 (340)
Somerset Prep 62, Lake Worth Christian 29 (242)
Somerset Prep 56, Orlando Christian Prep 20 (210)
Somerset Prep 75, Canterbury 44 (81)

 How is this entertaining? How is this a good product?

Florida Prep was Florida Air Academy and they always were great at basketball both boys and girls. They also get international students which help out a lot. Their boys haven't been as dominant as they use to be. But they are still always contenders

Still doesn't explain why this team should still be at the 2A level. Move them up, make it competitive. Maybe they win at 3A, maybe they don't, but those scores are absolutely horrible. Basically, they are too dominant at their level, move them up. FHSAA and the coaches who vilified the proposal encourage this too happen
