Way Too Early 2019 Forecast


LAZ

Recommended Posts

Using the past 20 seasons of data, here is a mathematical projection of the 2019 season. It should be noted, this data is based on past performance and does not take coaching changes, returning players, etc. into consideration. And though entertaining,  I would certainly not take it to the bank. After all, you wouldn't play the stock market based entirely on historic data.

The first analysis is Classification Strength. This ranking is a weighted moving average combining team power rankings and median power rankings for each classification. It lists the Top 4 teams in each class. The second analysis measures "parity" within each classification using Std. Deviation as the guideline.  

CLASS AVG Strgth #1 #2 #3 #4
7A 128.33 St. Thomas Aquinas  Venice Lakeland Armwood
8A 127.24 Christopher Columbus  Plant Apopka Deerfield Beach
5A 125.61 Miami Northwestern American Heritage (Pl) Raines  Vanguard
6A 124.42 Miami Central Columbia  Robert E. Lee  Naples
4A 117.28 Miami Carol City Cardinal Gibbons Cocoa Washington (Mia)
3A 114.23 Trinity Christian (Jax)  Chaminade Clearwater Central Catholic King’s Academy
1A 110.19 Madison County Pahokee Fort White Baker
2A 99.58 Champagnat Catholic University Christian North Florida Christian Victory Christian

Laz,

In terms of parity, the smaller the number the less differentiation between the teams. In other words, we would expect these districts to be much more wide open (if historic numbers came through). Am I reading that right? Good information as always. Why the FHSAA doesn't just pay you to the rankings is beyond me.

Gatorman-UF,

Thanks. And you are correct. The lower the number, the more evenly matched the teams are. As far as the FHSAA is concerned, I would be more than willing to provide them rankings, for football or any other sport for that matter. My system works extremely well for games like basketball and baseball because of the amount of games that are played each season. More data = More Accuracy.

Anyway, I guess they know how to find me if the need ever arises.

Yes, that is the best way to play the market. But you have to breakdown the data into different historical periods and assign weights to the data, with the most recent being the strongest in determining short to intermediate term price performance in the security or average you are trading.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • 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.
