Future of Broward publics bright?

Plantation defeats Chaminade Madonna 24-14 

Deerfield Beach defeats Cardinal Gibbons 14-0 

Both games played for a half.   

My thought on this is that we all know a lot of kids that play youth together or 7v7 have always wanted to play with their friends.   The issue is they could only really do that at the privates.   Now that they can do that at the public schools will the football scene in Broward return to what it was up until the early 2000s??

Look at Western.    Looking more and more like they will become the next "Flanagan".

HC Steve Davis of Plantation has more tenure at his school than any other coach in south FL.  The Colonels have the potential to be a powerhouse, like they were in the past.  Maybe the kids are starting to realize their are options beyond the privates.

So it wasn’t KOC ? && what is a officially scrimmage and who all participate?

No, officials scrimmages

 

Basically they are a series of half games the week before KOC games where the referees get some practice working a game to get ready for the season

 

Most the time they are non contact scrimmages and teams may play multiple teams, like one time Columbia played 5 teams in one scrimmage 

 

Really not much different than 7v7 events but with running allowed

So the scores and results are relatively flawed & useless

They were 100% live, but only a half game. They have them every year in Dade-Broward. Not sure this year, but were held at FIU for a bit. County invites teams. 12 this year.  Yes, some Broward Public schools are benefiting from the transferring and can now compete with privates, but overall it is hurting Broward. More teams are falling apart and instead of having a bunch of competitive games you see more blowouts.  Flanagan is a great example of an end result of what you get with these transfers. Do you really want to see a bunch of teams turn onto that or 7 games that aren't even worth watching on your schedule.

Flanagan wasn't built on transfers, they were built up because they had one hell of a good class come up through the youth system and they all went to Flanagan

 

Now it may be fair to say that transfers destroyed the program but transfers didn't build it

Haha I just meant a team that kind of rises fast.    Honestly though Western has been pretty decent so it wouldn't be as big of a rise IMO.  Flanagan used to be a literal bottom of the barrel team for a pretty long time.

Yeah but I'd be willing to bet most of these Western kids played together on those nasty 15u 7v7 defcon teams.

I don't doubt that

 

But the core of that Flanagan team who won state in 2015 was loaded in 4 year players at the school, sure they may have gotten a few transfers but they certainly weren't built with transfers

 

 

Between the 2016 and 2017 seasons Flanagan had 13 coaches and countless D1 players transfer out, that's why they fell apart 

 

That was one single off-season and a contender went to the cellar, one of quickest collapses I've ever seen

 

They had the foundation completely pulled out from under them and the other schools in SFL who picked up those studs benefited from it

But to be fair they were a cellar team prior to that class.   Western has been decent for a little bit.

They aren't that old a school though

 

From 2004-2008 they finished below .500 but that's normal for a startup program until they get some foundation built up

From 2009 to 2016 they didn't finish below .500 any year and until the huge exodus they were not that bad a team

 

 

I personally don't view them as a cellar team, until past 2 seasons at least

    • 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. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
