Talk to me about Armwood?

Armwood stopped being a wannabe a long, long time ago. 3 state titles and 7 runner-up finishes (10 total trips is really good given how young they are as a program!) While a "newer" high school (1984), they are a perennial powerhouse. They did get toasted in the KOC this year 28-0 by Jacksonville Lee. But I wouldn't discount the Hawks.

Are they legit, or just a wannabe? Cause North Gwinnett is pretty good!

They're legit.  You can read my post in the other thread for a more detailed breakdown, but they're fast and athletic and they've got some size up front (especially on the defensive side of the field).

Indifferent on this topic as well. They're really good defensively, but hear their offense can be explosive, but lacks ability to drive the field CONSISTENTLY. I know nothing about North Gwinnett other than they were in a defensive battle with Colquitt this past weekend, but eventually lost. I would imagine they are a pretty sound team. 7A in GA is tough and they won the state title in '17 and lost in Quarters last year.

Armwood is almost certainly an elite, top 5ish team in the state this year. North Gwinnett appears to be pretty good, and will have a huge home field advantage. But, I think Florida needs Armwood to go up there and take care of business. Outside of Lakeland and STA, I don't see anyone else beating them.

Um, Joe Pinko's has Armwood favored by 3 TD's.   Then, again, I'm not sure how JP rates out-of-state teams. 

GEEEEEZ, lemme write that down! SOOOOOO, they are favored by three scores, against the #7 ranked 7A team in Georgia......on the ROAD?:lol:

Armwood scored ten offensive points in regulation tonight against North Gwinnett, losing 26-23 in 2OT!!

    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
