IMG at Venice is going To be about as interesting as watching Mike Tyson take on a 3 year old.

If you all think Venice is good enough to get back to state champs you should be able to hold your own with IMG

 

Btw Lakeland is best FL team of 2019 not IMG

Venice isn’t getting back to states with Aquinas in the way

Lakeland would be a better matchup for IMG than Venice

7A Atlantic begins its season as it has the past 2 seasons...versus 8A PB Central.  Each of those games were relatively low-scoring affairs and each team won once.  Atlantic won last year 14-0.  Except for their 1-point loss in 2017, Atlantic has dominated the series.  In its kickoff classic, Atlantic surprised Deerfield Beach.  PBC got blown out by Northwestern.

PB Central is DOWN...Atlantic will roll. That game should not be included.

Monsignor Pace @ Heritage Plantation HAS to be added. Long-time OC for AHP goes back home as the HC of Pace, and his team is LOADED!!

Appreciate the suggestions.  Funny, I was just reading up on Pace this morning after seeing how they blasted Jackson.

I make the statement with conviction because I'm certain of it

 

IMG has not had a team as good as 2016 the last 2 years and that will continue this year

 

On top of that Lakeland is loaded, clear-cut number 1 team in FL

Why do you think Venice is weak this year? You bring back 2 very capable running back and your leading wide receiver. Graduated a lot on defense but also have some decent guys coming back. May not win state but Venice will make it to the semi's at least. In my humble opinion.

And I see you have a transfer coming in at QB... Mister Overstreet I believe... How can that be a problem?

Plus, Venice has an above average coach so that will be a big plus.

5A Rockledge, coming off one of its best seasons in years, travels to south Georgia to take on an always solid 5A Ware County Gators team.  In terms of student population, these two schools are close in numbers...each around 1500.  Last year, Ware County blasted a completely outmatched Pine Ridge team.  And back in 2014, Ware County beat Manatee 23-7.  Hopefully the Raiders can give the Gators a good fight.

Raiders have some talent... It should be a fun game. Not sure they win but wouldn't be surprised. Go Rock.

Venice played IMG in 2017 with a loaded roster. We had one of the best WRs in the country and a defense that held STA to only 20 that year. We got blasted at home, 38-12.

Venice is a good football team. I am an alumnus of the school and I’ve seen them play well but they just don’t have the elite speed that teams like IMG and STA bring to the table. Venice got killed in 2018 by Vero Beach and Aquinas because of team speed. Things like speedy wide receivers and even running backs gave Venice fits behind the line of scrimmage. Secondary play was a big issue last year. Don’t kid yourselves. I know I’ve said some really stupid things in defense of my team, but I’m taking off the green and white glasses this time.

IMG wins this game by 17 or more.

Our Venice fan is playing games with you all. A bit of a Lou Holtz routine. Actually, you could say a bit of a Bill Castle routine :P

IMG's summer free agency efforts probably resulted in a greater haul than Venice's. So, IMG is loaded once again. But, the tricky, up-tempo simple spread offense of Venice may be able to give IMG problems. It's an offense built to score a bunch of points and get a bunch of yards even when the defense they face is a lot more talented than them. Now, having the Lakeland Christian transfer who can sling it, they may be better suited to challenge IMG than the 2017 team. Carpenter wasn't much of a passer outside of the great chemistry he had with Haleigh (sp?).

Once again comical.  Not saying you might not be right but you have no idea how good IMG will be.  Glad you are confident that the team that has been the best in Florida the last 4 years won't be this year.

LMAO 

 

The best "win" from FL last year for IMG was against a 5-5 team in regular season in MNW

 

Who's to say they would have beaten Lakeland who was playing lights out come playoff time??

 

There wasn't many impressive wins on IMG schedule last year, 2016 or 2017 may have a argument because those teams beat some powerhouses but I didn't see any powerhouses that IMG beat last year and I would take Flanagan, STA, Miami Central or even Osceola over IMG in 2015

Ik they not as good as their 2016 team and that's all I need to feel confident that Lakeland will be better than IMG this year

That depends

 

If Venice is good enough to beat IMG I would like their chances against STA down the line, it is at Venice so that's one plus for them

 

I think of Venice can avoid turnovers and pick and choose the right spots they got a shot at it but if I had to put money I probably would go IMG even though I don't feel IMG is this invincible machine this year that people seem to think and I already publically picked IMG to lose this year at least once

    • Unions want their members compensated. Districts are slow to compensate teachers and coaches, period. Because ultimately coaches/sponsors are extracurriculars, and not the primary focus of the district despite what some on this board would have you believe. Make it easy, ask your local principal how many teaching openings they have this year in their faculty, ask how much turnover will exist in their ranks this summer, and when they replace them, how many will be highly qualified teachers. Ask the AD how many of their coaches are not highly qualified. The problem from the district and unions' perspective is that there isn't a coaching shortage, somebody always wants to be a coach, but few want to be a math teacher or special education and have their career tied to a test that they have no control over. So just like in the business world, you should pay more to get a person to do the job if nobody is willing to do it. Now if you want to blame the unions, blame them and the districts for not being flexible in salaries for areas of critical needs/shortages. Despite their being a shortage, it isn't a universal shortage. Florida isn't struggling for social studies teachers, PE teachers, or elementary teachers, but secondary math, science, english, special ed (all levels), and world languages. Unions/districts have been reluctant to give extra pay to those subjects to entice people to enter the field, but notice, PE teacher isn't on that list. __________________ To give an idea of what will happen, let's use Madison County (since they were mentioned in an above post). Madison County has 30 head coaches and JV/assistant coaches (including cheerleading). The total amount of salaries that they put to those positions is %66,706. Madison County had a budget of $24 million, so .27% of their total budget. If the proposed bill passes, Madison County would spend 322,500, which represents 1.34% of their budget, about 4.8 times more than current. Now, if the state legislature would simple just add the $260,000 onto the budget, the unions wouldn't care other than making sure that all assistant/jv/and non mentioned coaches from the PB Post article are included. But that isn't what will happen, instead it will be a specific line in the budget from the state legislature, similar to technology or textbooks, money will be required to be spent on the salaries and the state will offer no additional funding (or they will only do it for 2 or 3 years, and when there are new priorities, they will still require it but provide no funding for it). Now, if they offer no additional funding, what happens is that money comes from somewhere in the budget. Considering that that this be part of "teacher salaries", that means it will be pulled from general instructional salaries portion of the budget, which means less money for teachers. So yes, teachers will be upset when the state legislature yet again promises something and then underdelivers (see making the starting salary $47,500).
    • low pay and high expense on housing, while are in the talks, coaches are leaving becuase of resources.  Mike Coe of coffee who was at union county and was a state championship contender year in and out, leaves to go to ga, in 3 seasons they went 15-0 this past yr, have an indoor field being built, makes a ton of money, all his 20 coaches do as well.  resources, the ability to say if we want something, we dont have to sell discount cards and do car washes to buy 10 helmets, we go to people with power/money/boosters/etc and say we need 10 helmets.  look up his twitter, thats where this all came from. camden county and travis roland, same deal.  win a title at mainland and goes fundraising the next week.  or go to camden, takes his staff, make more money, have incredible resources to facilitate what a state championship program should look like, same-read his twitter. id say majority of coaches would work in FL for what coaches rate is, if there were resources available that if you ask for it, its done.  not having to spend the summer selling cards or raffle tickets or whatever they do....
    • The rationale for allowing unlimited transfers, while also allowing an effectively unregulated "NIL" market, is that players should be able to do ANYTHING that helps them better themselves. ANY limits or regulations are said to be immoral, and probably rooted in "white supremacy". Welp, imagine a player playing on a team that's getting their butts kicked. You can't argue that it wouldn't improve his marketability to simply take off his uniform and walk over to the other sideline during the game. NOW, he's on the WINNING team. It would be MUCH better for the player to be on the winning team than to be a no-good loser. And, since "equity" is seen as THE most (if not only) important thing-whereby "equity" is defined and measured by the equivalence (or lack thereof) of outcomes- allowing all of the players on the losing team to simply leave and join the winning team, it all makes perfect sense!* *While bitter sarcasm was employed here, this is not really a joke. Using the current rationale, the above IS consistent with the rationale.
    • Teachers are sometimes their own worst enemies.
    • This is a bit of an incoherent mess. The matter of parents' rights is separate from teacher/coaches pay and teacher certification. All are valid, but distinct, concerns.
