Teams to watch in 2019 (besides the obvious ones)

While I don't believe they'll challenge for a state title this coming season, I think Tampa Steinbrenner will qualify for the playoffs next season......which would be the 1st time they've done that in 4-5 years. They have a nice QB Haden Carlson that can make all the throws... (His dad played for the Bucs as a backup QB). Rising Jr Deon Silas that was a nice play maker for Steinbrenner last season as a soph, all of their WR''s are returning and I want to say 2-3 members of its OL also returning. On Defense I believe they had 5 Sophs either start or see significant playing time.....with Austin Brannen and Desmond Mamudi really standing out to me! I want to say they'll be returning 8 players total from their starting defense of last season. The only teams they lost to last year all qualified for the playoffs, and they beat East Lake HS in a post season bowl game. For me there a team I'll be keeping eye out for next season, because I do expect them to make some noise in the Tampa Bay area!

I'll keep a eye on them

 

Is there any other teams similar to how you described steinbrenner in that region?

Currently working on a list of preseason watch teams but wanted some feedback on teams to watch heading into next season

 

Any potential sleepers?

Trinity Christian and Venice are both playing impressive, challenging schedules this year. I think it goes without saying that Trinity will win 3A, and Venice could be a 7a favorite as well.

Monsignor Pace down here is Dade will be much, much better. Their problem is there are in a brutal region (Carol City, Gibbons, Booker T, USchool).

 

 

 

I was thinking about Pace recently since they usually were solid but could never go far because region always been too much

Yeah but I wouldn't call them sleepers lol

Well no I wasn’t implying that. Vero Beach and Columbia will be teams to watch as well, I know that Vero Beach has a stacked schedule this year. They are playing Venice, American Heritage Delray, Viera, etc. Not sure about Columbia, but I can tell you now that you’re going to crush IMG at home.

Pace is loading up. Not sure if they can beat CC or Gibbons this year....but down the road they may just be the region's strongest team. Time will tell.

Go ahead badbirdy tell me when I say stupid shit and then I’ll give you a little credence but I don’t make lame “my mom” jokes that make me sound like I’m 5 years old.

you've now taken little boy Columbiafan's saying of badbirdy.  heck if mom jokes are 5 year old material badbirdy is 3 year old material.  Glad I could get on your level.

    • 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

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave.
