4A Region 1 - An Early Look

[OldSchoolLion 1,536]

8 of the 11 teams in the region made the playoffs last year(those with a double asterisk), but only a couple had records worth bragging about.  Even 0-9 Gadsden and 2-6 Rutherford made the playoffs.  5 of the 8 teams were in this region last season (italicized below).   Santa Fe and Bradford both move over from 4A Region 2. 

Raines moves out of the region, but Bolles moves down from 5A after a respectable playoff performance last year.  One would have to think Bolles will dominate the region like Raines did, even in a "down" year.  Team records from last season are listed below.  

**West Nassau 9-3

**Bolles 8-5

**South Walton 6-5

**Marianna 5-5-1

**Santa Fe 5-6

**Bradford 5-6

**Rutherford 2-7

Fernandina Beach 2-8

Bay 1-6

North Bay Haven 0-6

**Gadsden 0-10

Bolles vs West Nassau should be good

Word is the administration at Bolles wants their new hire guy to do well. As there is a lot of pressure on the administration for him to succeed. Heard they have let some kids in they weren't letting in the last few years.

Is West Nassau still with that ground and pound offense? We had a playoff game with them in 2009 and their ground offense was so difficult to deal with. Don't believe they ever threw a pass. Are they still a formidable team?

Been hearing that as well. They would be smart to not just let HS kids in but also MS

I believe West Nassau is running a mixture of that or they were at least. Saw an interview with their coach saying they were going to an up tempo no huddle offense. They aren't big and nasty like they were that year.

Bolles has snagged the best player from Episcopal and Ponte Vedra's team.

They have made the playoffs last couple of years so to some extent they must be good...... They just  ran into a brick wall called Jacksonville Raines who was too much for any team in the north brackets of the 4A. 

 

Take Raines  out the equation then you might have a state finalist in West Nassau.... 

 

As for now, they have to deal with Bolles and Cocoa.

SMH, Bolles sounds like a team I know.
