Teams to watch in 2019 (besides the obvious ones)

[DisabledAccount]

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

 

Any potential sleepers?

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!

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.

They’ve got athletes, money, and it appears this guy can coach...so yes I would think so. However, I have heard only negative things about the administration.

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).

The concern with Orange Park is they are in the same area as Fleming Island and Oakleaf, who have been much stronger in recent history. Will be interesting to see how things work out.

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

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.

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.
