Tough schedule. I see them going 8-2 this year. Losses will likely be IMG and Central, though I would love to see them upset the Ascenders some time. We’ll see.

They lost to Central 38-10 last year so I don’t see why you’re confused. 

Central lost to YOUNG NW team in the playoffs who went on to win state. Did you forget about that? Central strength is their oline and rbs.. I think other than MC Rockets I'd know more what going on with them than most on here. NW is loaded.. With most of top players being 2021 kids. So yeah Central? Lol

A teams age DOES NOT MATTER. It’s about how well-coached it is and how it practices- their gameplan, strategies, and how mentally and physically conditioned the kids are. You old geezers seem to forget that high school football teams practice every day to prepare themselves for games and the playoffs.

I do not believe in teams being “down”. Look at Venice’s accomplishments in 2018 after they lost 32 seniors to graduation. 32! And they were 2 wins away from winning another state title. Branding a team as “down” makes no sense because they practice their new starters in the summer with the returners and have ample time to overcome the transition. 

And also if you want to talk about MN losing to Central, That was a week 9 game. Northwestern had 10 weeks to prepare for that game and they still got smacked around at their own field. So I guess that removes all the talk about Central being overrated.

Who won the last game between Central and NW in playoffs? You keep OVERLOOKING that. I think I'd take losing 38 to 10 in regular season and avenge that loss by knocking that same team out the playoffs. Stop looking at this onesided.. Central knew it was win or go home and lost. They had all season to prepare for state. Central had alot of seniors on that team. NW knocked them out of playoffs last 3 years. I don't know nothing about venice and venice has nothing to do with this post. I know about both of these schools central is our main rival. They might win state this year being that Northwestern is out of 6A... Nothing u or anybody says will change my opinion. So again Central? Lol.

Old? I guess your in your twenties because 30s and 40s is not old. It amazes me that people have do much to say about teams they know little about. Lol.. Answer this why haven't central won a state title the last 3 years?  Who knocked them out of the playoffs or stopped them from making playoffs last 3 years? I don't know your logic on thinking they would beat NW this year other than the regular season win lol. But it's your personal opinion and I respect it just find it funny that's all.

They both play their home games at same stadium! Smh lol. So I guess Central lost at home in the playoffs to NW...Yeah you just like Central based off their past success I get it. That's cool. I never said they were overrated by the way.

As much as I hate to, I have to agree with everything Topnotch305 is saying. They are the two time defending champions, and we(Miami Central) really blew it last season. So whatever they dish out, we gotta take it. 

It's all love bro, we are rivals so you know how it is lol.

A team’s age certainly matters. Look at the 2011 Booker T vs Bolles game. Booker T lost that game due to inexperience, as many of their superstars were sophomores. They were vastly superior talent wise (minus the Bolles OL, that was a heck of a group) and those guys made crucial mental errors. That didn’t happen the next two years. 

I always have believed that 99% of players will be better when they are seniors vs when they are freshman. They know the system better & are more physically, emotionally, and mentally mature. I remember having a conversation with the infamous Coach Propst years and years ago and he told me that he feels extremely confident about a team when they have 30+ seniors on the team because those are guys who know the system in and out.

I get the feeling that there is a lot of mutual respect between Northwestern and Central players and fans.

Yes there is. We hate each other(not really) but we respect each other. Many of us grew in the same neighborhoods, went to the same elementary and middle schools together, but ended up going to different high schools. With so many schools in close proximity to each other down it happens.

It's like that too between the 2 schools I'm just not as bad as I use to be. But alot of the fans if not most feel that way. The others just want whoever from 305 to win.

I know that there is a semi-pro team, the Magic City Bulls. The Bulls have Northwestern blue and gold colors and logo. I know that a lot of former Northwestern players play for the team, and the team owners are affiliated with the high school. I wonder if any former Central Rockets would be welcomed onto the team, and of so, would those players be comfortable wearing the Bulls blue and gold? lol

Yeah they would welcome them. They would just get it all season long. Especially after they lose. Lol

    • 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.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
