Not now Palm Beach!

The same thing apparently is happening in Lee County. 

FHSAA put out a statement earlier today.   In short, they said, hey, budgets are set for this year; let's have a discussion about this as part of the planning process for next year and beyond. 

 

By the way, I can't read the article.  I don't subscribe to out-of-town newspapers in hopes that I might want to read an online article one or twice a year.

Palm Beach County does not fund athletics.  We pay for everything as a program.  And there is more than just the 10.00.  They want it to go up to 100 next year.  Broward has already agreed to a deal with the officials, Palm Beach will follow suit, so we will at least have our kickoff classics.

I will always believe that school districts should fund the basics of extra curriculars. Uniforms, common sense travel, referees, playing fields, equipment, and security. If not, don't offer the sport.

They are asking for $10 more  per game for 8 officials a game for maybe 5 varsity and 4 JV home games per school? So $720 for the year per school? If our counties can't afford that, please shutter the programs. 

there are only 5 refs in high school. $50 per game they would need total. take it out of the gate fees if budget is done I say...

    • And lastly with the district classifications changing. Dillard new district foes atleast for the next two years are as following    *Northeast *Suncoast  *Boynton Beach  *Dr.Joaquin Garcia    never heard of that last school, I’m assuming they’re a new program.    but a district with no STA, GIBBONS, AHP, CHAMINADE, ELY, MIRAMAR, & ETC lets see if Dillard is still a above avg program & can run away with this district and be one of the top teams in broward.    or if they fell off even more from last year & this district will be a lot closer then most predict. Guess we will see. 
    • They also just won the 7on7 broward county showcase a few weeks back. So hopefully that spills over to the fall season.    I know we got a new DC & OC this year & the quarter back spot is up for grabs. Especially after last years below avg offensive production. So we will see how things are shaping up against a very solid monarch squad in the spring game May 23rd @ Dillard. 
    • They bring almost 80% of the roster which was 9th & 10th graders. They got a few transfers in but nothing crazy. Atleast not yet.    from my sources it looks as if the the second year head coach for Dillard is trying to rack up some wins under his belt & not scheduling above the talent he actually has which will either A. Get him fired after this season or see more kids transfer out or both.    if Dillard can go 8-2 or dare I say undefeated & have a deep playoff round (regional finals) that could One really put the program in a bright light for transfers & also instill a winning culture back in the storied program. 
    • They were a Lake County all star team because they were taking all of the Lake County players.  First Academy hired the Lake Minneola recruiter and he took a bunch of the players with him to First Academy.  Now Lake Minneola has a depleted roster with a tough schedule.  The coach wasn't aware of this until he arrived and saw the roster.    
    • Wow that’s the easiest schedule I seen in a while for Dillard. Are they gonna be young and inexperienced? Miramar and Ely will be a toss up. Unless one of those other teams got a bunch of transfers Dillard should go 8-2 at worst
