Thanks to @nolebull813 for stepping up to help run this.

I am going to go with most of the games NoleBull suggested except two. While I like the Rockledge/Ware County game, I feel like I can go better there. I don't want to overpopulate the pick' ems with the out-of-state teams and I think two is enough with the Miami Central and Aquinas games already. Also, I don't think Godby/Lincoln is going to be as good as looks on paper. Looks can be deceiving sometimes... maybe I am wrong.

St. Frances, Md. vs. Miami Central at Traz Powell (Saturday)

St. Thomas Aquinas at De La Salle, Calif.

Deerfield Beach vs. Miami Carol City at Traz Powell (Saturday)

IMG Academy at Venice

Trinity Christian (Jacksonville) at Columbia

Plant at Armwood

Jones at Raines

American Heritage (Delray) at Vero Beach

Cardinal Gibbons vs. Miami Northwestern at Traz Powell

Lakeland at Manatee

Thread locks down at 5 PM Friday afternoon, one hour before the first game on Friday which will be Jones at Raines (6 PM kickoffs in Duval County this year).

 Just for fun you should include Joe Pinkos  in the pick em. Whatever he projects will be his selections. Lol. 

Also, you think Manatee is going to give Lakeland a good enough game to make it a pick em choice?

And is 10 gonna be the official number? 

@Joshua Wilson i actually support this idea, ik on prep gridiron board they would use calpreps projections as one of the official voters so it would be interesting to see if any poster here can get a higher winning percentage than pinkos over the course of the season

I need to post the link to PInkos for sure and maybe ought to include his just for fun.

You never know... Jacquez Green is the new OC at Manatee, so you never know what to expect.

And yes 10 will be the official number to keep it easy for all of us.

    • 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.
