7A Region 1 - An Early Look


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

4 playoff teams from last season return(Lincoln, Buchholz, Edgewater and Fletcher).  This region features 9 playoff teams from last season (those with a double asterisk).  District 1 may be the most competitive district of any in the state, regardless of classification.  It's quite possible that 4 teams from this district will make the playoffs.  The runner-ups will all have long, first round road trips.  Thus, winning that district will be a boon.  Navarre and Crestview played twice last year, splitting the series.  8A contender Wekiva moves down to join the party.  The Edgewater vs Wekiva game during the regular season will likely determine the district 3 champion, so expect a clash.  The loser of that game could be facing a long, first-round road trip.  District 4 may be one of the weakest districts in the state, regardless of classification.  Team records from last season are listed below. 

 

District 1

**Navarre 11-2

**Crestview 10-3

**Niceville 7-4

**Lincoln 7-5

Chiles 6-4

Tate 3-7

Leon 3-7

 

District 2

**Fletcher 7-4

**Buchholz 7-4

Fleming Island 6-4

**Wekiva 11-2

**South Lake 6-5

Forest 4-6

 

District 4

Lyman 5-5

East River 5-5

Lake Howell 2-8

Winter Springs 1-9

This region could have looked like below if it was in place last season.  Crestview beat Navarre in the playoffs last season, so we could have had a #8 seed upsetting a #1 seed.  The region semis could have had Crestview at Buchholz and Edgewater at Niceville.  I think this has the potential to be a fun region with intriguing matchups.

#1 Navarre 43.1

#2 Buchholz 41.1

#3 Edgewater 39.0

#4 Lyman 32.9

#5 Niceville 40.6

#6 Lincoln 39.4

#7 Fletcher 39.0

#8 Crestview 38.3

    • 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
