Curious what the 'controversial call' was in the Robert E. Lee game.   According to MaxPreps, Plant won 27-19.  If this is the game I'm thinking of, Lee got the ball back towards the end of the game and drove it down the field into the red zone.  They ended up with a 4th and goal from inside the 5-yard line with time running down.  Lee had been running a variation of the read option and the QB had rushed for over 100 yards.  Plant loaded up the box and sold out on the QB keeping the ball on the 4th down play.  He did and got stopped in his own backfield. 

Even if Lee had scored on that play, they would have needed a 2-point conversion just to tie the game.  I could be confusing this game with another, but that's my recollection.   I don't recall a controversial play, but I'm always open to learning or being reminded. 

yeah you're right. lee did blow that game

Defense bring back every body it's the QB WR I'm worried bout

This is a rebuilding year for Vero as they have lost 31 seniors from last years team. But I'm quite sure that coach Jankowski will pull off another great team. Vero has lost its 3 year starter quarterback, its two star wide receivers, it starting running back, its starting offensive line. On defense its lost most of the starting line, but it does have returning linebackers and secondary. With this in mind they have now scheduled the toughest opponents they have ever had. They will be putting an untested quarterback in (the coaches son) against these big teams. Hopefully coach Jankowski has gotten his son into shape, and we have a few transfers coming in.

Sounds like they'll be replacing their entire offense!

That said, it occurs to me that, at least with the higher classification teams, losing 31 seniors should be about the norm.  If you have a roster of around 60 players, comprised mainly of juniors and seniors (with a handful of talented/mature freshman and sophomores thrown in), it stands to reason that you'll lose about half the team to graduation every year.  Of course, the key is knowing what players are leaving and what players will be stepping in to fill their shoes.

You will also add the obvious -Ft Pierce Central. Treasure Coast and Sebastian River.

That leaves only one empty slot to fill. Which Merritt Island just filled that gap.

    • Just wait a couple of years.  More schools keep leaving fhsaa they'll have their 8 team open division because that'll be all that's left. 
    • using maxpreps rankings as the only decider for playoff berths.  no made up fhsaa rankings
    • So, back to the original post. Did anyone attend, watch or actually see/hear or read the minutes of what was discussed at the meeting? Were there any takeaways positive or negative? Any additional items that may have been brought up for discussion? Was anything decided? 
    • Man, listen here, noimsayin... back in the day when I was slingin' subs at the Publix deli counter—yeah, the one where the old ladies come in askin' for "just a little bit of everything" like they orderin' from the Chinese buffet—I used to hear all kinds of wild stories from folks. But this one from nolebull813? This take the cake, bruh.   Picture this: It's 1990-somethin', I'm still young, fresh outta FAMU, chasin' this fine lil' thing who worked nights at the strip club off I-4 (don't judge, we all had our phases, and she said she was "dancin' to pay for nursing school"... yeah, I believed that for about three dates before the bouncer introduced himself real personal-like). Anyway, I'm sittin' there one night losin' my last $20 on a Dolphins game—'cause why not throw good money after bad, right?—when some coach from who-knows-where starts spinnin' this tale about how the FHSAA had this ironclad bylaw: one sport skips district, boom, whole school gets the death penalty for playoffs. Cross country ghosts the meet? Football, hoops, baseball—all of 'em sittin' home watchin' on TV like they owe child support.   I remember thinkin', "Man, that sound like some straight-up mafia rules. Like, Don Corleone runnin' the FHSAA board meetin' with a cigar and a gavel." But even back then, I was like, "Hold up... where the proof at? You got the handbook page? A newspaper clip? Somethin' besides 'I remember'?"   Fast forward to now—I'm pushin' 70, still at Publix (customer service counter these days, where I get to hear why someone's coupons expired in 2008 and it's my fault), and I been diggin' through every old FHSAA handbook I could find online, every statute from the '90s and 2000s, every news blip about sanctions. Ain't nothin'. Zero. Zilch. Not one single bylaw sayin' "cross country no-show = everybody go home." Penalties? Yeah, they hit the sport that messed up—fines, forfeits, maybe a year ban for that team. But the whole damn school? Nah, that ain't how they roll. Even when they drop the hammer on big dogs like The First Academy or Gadsden County for recruitin' nonsense, it's football-only gettin' the boot. Not basketball, not track, not even the cheer squad.   And that magic incident with the cross country team? Gone. Poof. No school name, no year, no article, no nothin'. It's like Bigfoot—everybody "knows somebody who saw it," but when you ask for the photo, crickets.   So nolebull813 out here droppin' these gems like they gospel, long on hot air, short on receipts. Bruh, if you gonna tell a story that wild, at least bring the receipts... or buy me a beer first. 'Cause right now? It sound like the kinda tale you tell after losin' a parlay and need somethin' to blame besides your bad picks.   Me?  I'll stick to what I know: Florida high school football is the best show in town, the FHSAA got rules (some dumb, some fair), but they ain't never been out here punishin' the whole cafeteria line 'cause one kid skipped gym class. Noimsayin'? Keep 'em comin', though—gives me somethin' to laugh about while I'm refundin' expired milk.
    • I’m old enough to remember that the FHSAA had a bylaw in place that if any sport refuses to compete in district competition, EVERY SPORT FROM THAT SCHOOL IS BANNED FROM THE PLAYOFFS FOR A YEAR!!!!!!!! There was a team that their cross country didn’t compete, so the football, basketball, baseball and every other sport was banned from the playoffs.    This corrupt and incompetent organization should be disbanded
