Tim Shifflet at Winter Park is one of the most tenured coaches in the Orlando area.  I don't believe Winter Park has been overly loaded with big name talent the past few years, yet has managed to be very competitive.  I think as long as they have a reasonable amount of talent this year, there is no reason to believe Coach Shifflet will not have them competitive again.  

Winter Park does have one of the top cornerbacks in the state...Ethan Pouncey...and a 6'6" pocket passer named Casey Case, who saw playing time last year as a junior.   

Ethan Pouncey had surgery at beginning of season and will miss this season: he has committed to Texas. WP's DB's, an expected major strength of this team, have been hit with a load of injuries this season. They were missing all four starters in a recent game. Casey Case is a very good QB, committed to Buffalo. He has several very good receivers and the top junior RB in Central Florida, Dakota Mitchell who has just committed to UF. This team had tremendous potential going into the season. Besides the injuries, WP has been bitten by the turnover bug a couple of games this season, including two fumbles for TD's in a single game. When they've been good, they've been very, very good and could be dangerous if they can find their way into the playoffs.

Watch out for Miami Palmetto.  This is a program that has been on the rise. They won a shootout with South Dade this year.  Look at their track record over the past 4 seasons.  

2016   9-2   2 losses to state champion Southridge

2017   8-2   lost to Southridge and state semifinalist Miami High

2018   10-2   lost to Southridge and state finalist Columbus

2019   9-1    2-point loss to Cardinal Gibbons

I could easily see them making it out of Region 4 to the south semifinal. Depending on who makes it from Region 3, they may even make it to the state final. From there, who knows? 8A is reasonably wide open heading into the playoffs.

South Dade lost to Hialeah last night...their third loss in a row...and S Dade's characteristically tough D has been giving up points this season.  

Columbus manhandled Atlantic in Palm Beach and put up 27 on a tough Atlantic D.  Columbus is a team that seems to rise to the occasion come playoff time.

Columbus may be getting better at the right time while South Dade may be collapsing at the wrong time 

 

Guess we will see where they end up in the bracket

I don’t think their collapsing thru just have played 3 great schools they lead palmetto by double digits they also led most of last night. 
 

as for Columbus to see what they did to Atlantic and we beat them (Columbus last week) thAt added with a win today should further help our RPI

Columbia played 3 good schools in the last 4 games and lost them but I still see it as collapsing, the reason is when you start winning and then finish losing 3 of last 4 or final 3 games or whatever it is a late season collapse

 

Does it mean they a bad team? Of course not

 

It just means they stumbled down the stretch but they can still correct it and make a run, but they need to identify the problem and address it fast

DFB is region 3 not 4

I know they are.  He said "state" which I took as just completely going past them.

This must b a joke

I feel your frustration.  We have one of those types of teams up here.  All hype and no go.  That would be Sandalwood.  But at least Deerfield gets to the playoffs and wins some games.  Sandalwood, usually loaded with D1 talent, never even sniffs the playoffs, but their hype machine is full blast every year.

    • 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.
