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

    • 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
