Us playing them on a Saturday may help Venice since IMG will be on a shorter week with only 6 days to prepare for that game with Venice

Oh yeah you guys are gonna squash them there’s no doubt about that. I would bet heavily on Columbia winning that game. I’m just concerned about Venice staying healthy for the regular season after that game.

Who/what is this GCTE team that IMG WHITE is playing this year? I’ve noticed them on a few Florida high school schedules for 2019.

You sound offended, so I will ask you the same question.

How much?

P.S.   I never lost money on LW because I didn't bet they would beat Vanguard, however I did lose a boatload telling everyone in Fla that Lakeland would monkey stomp Columbia in the 7A North Region Finals.

Oh wait, that didn't happen either.<_<

I'm not betting with someone who i would than have to drive 2 and a half hours to collect the money from

 

I would have to bet 200 or 300 just to break even on my travel to Lakeland to get the money, I'm bold not stupid

What kind of vehicle are you driving that it would cost $300 to drive to Lakeland...? I could drive from Jax to Lakeland for $100 round trip in my truck.

That's the thing, i don't have one which means I would probably have to use Greyhound or Uber to do that trip

And for the record I doubt this game will be a blowout like last year but I can definitely see columbia winning again based on what i saw before my eyes against Bartram and some of the things I'm hearing about IMG

You should get one of these.  They get great gas mileage.

Lol those helmet carts look awesome, i really wish we had one of those at Columbia

 

Though with my experience with golf carts they drive way too slow for me to drive to Lakeland with them lol

I’ve seen this but their schedule doesn’t make sense. It shows them playing the likes of  Vero Beach,  Clearwater Academy and Superior.  Could they be JV games?

    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
