FHSAA's Original Proposal

Recommended Posts

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

    • The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship 
    • Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available 
    • I’m glad those recruiting rules don’t apply to Broward & Dade county…….
    • Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.  
    • Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
