How in the world can Southridge be over Carol City when CC beat them 50-0 last year?? 

Are you telling me that Southridge closed a 50 point gap in less than a year?  Not buying it 

Different year, different classes... even a coach change as well right before the season. Can't base everything off of last year. Sorry.

Can't base it off last year.  Can't base it off a scrimmage from three days ago.  Put the names in the hat and draw them out to see who goes where and then re-adjust as the season goes along.

Damn 8A is deep.  Winter Park and DP can't sniff the top 15.  

I may have put Winter Park too low in my Region ranking... I am going to have to adjust it... DP has got a lot to prove after the way they struggled last season.

Lol if Trinity Christian can be #4 in the state I have no problem with MC being 3.    Trinity Christian is solid, but #4?   They got bounced last year by North Marion in a low classification.   

No... North Marion came ready, Trinity just looked too far ahead. But Trinity is very loaded.

They were loaded last year too when everyone on here was saying they were the favorite.   What have they really done?

They are back in their proper classification. Should have never moved up.

I guess.  If you are ranking them by most likely to win state I hear you.    The truth is Trinity Christian, Chaminade, NSU,  they just aren't that good (although I admit Trinity Christian at least somewhat belongs).  

Carol City on a down year would work them.

NSU... that is one team that had a lot of young talent last year. I wouldn't want to second guess them this year. But maybe I am wrong and I have to eat my words.

They only moved up because they wanted to guarantee some games since most schools in North Florida are too scared to play TCA and look what happened

 

 

Only 3 schools in Duval had the guts to step up and play (Lee, Raines and Ribault) ironically those only 4 in Duval that will step up to play teams

 

 

Then you had Columbia and Godby for rest of North Florida

 

 

Nobody else wanted to play TCA

Cocoa returns most of their talent from last year and they are 4th in 4A? Yeah, I can see why the post had to be qualified with "this is a crapshoot". :lol:

Don't forget the 15 transfers

Crestview and Navarre in top 10 for 7A. Not surprising. They are pinned as the top squads. Crestview lost a lot of seniors, I'm definitely wondering how they will fare this year.

Any idea what to expect with Escambia and Gulf Breeze?

    • 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.
