The offensive show came from Alan Abrams. He had close to 175 yards rushing in the game. 

I see. I remember being at that game (was a student at FSU), but I only remembered the announcers calling Merriweather for some reason, but #9 was the man. Northwestern couldn’t stop that counter

Yeah, Alan had a lot of potential, went to Mississippi, started as a true freshman, and then just disappeared. Not sure what happened with him, but a promising career was never fulfilled.

I was at this game but did not remember like I am now seeing it.  Something that stood out to me watching it now is Ricky D was not running the Single Wing then they were in a very traditional Wing T.  When did Darlington switch to the full on Single Wing?

That and I DO remember the fumble Rooskie LMAO still can't believe RD pulled that off lol and it was soooo close.

So he was not running that when he was at Valdosta, I thought he was and it was part of their problem accepting him.

He ran spread when he was there and for the first two games of the 2006 season when he came back. Then he lost to Lake Brantly by a baseball score and went back to running the ball.

He began experimenting with the single wing in 2006 but fully implemented it the following year.

knew badbird was guru, liked the name guru better.

 

badbird/guru, remember when Berry’s son for Apopka punted in the 4th qtr vs DP in 2005, up 16-13, evading the SURE sack/block/fumble on the 1 while being tackled, and DP fumbled the punt return ???

We had y’all. Crazy 14-point play. 

badbird and I have actually been on opposing sidelines, head coach (APK) vs player (DP). I missed the first 6 games that year with a broken fibula. I’m sure Guru is relieved of that fact (ha)

RB should have played receiver or DB in addition to his kicking/punting duties from his sophomore year. Very good high school athlete who only played on offense in his senior year. His younger brother was not bad either.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
