Interesting how several teams showed up so many times 

 

Also could include the 5OT game between Miami Central and St John's from last year

2016 was IMO the best IMG team to date

 

If this was 2016 i could see a repeat result but the current IMG team i would lean those 2 being teams who could beat them

I am wondering seriously where you come up with the information that this season's IMG team is not equal to or better than the 2016 team and that they will probably be defeated by St. Johns and St Frances They destroyed one of the best teams in Florida in Venice. Next Friday they play arguably the best team in Florida Northwestern. If they destroy Northwestern or even handily beat them, will you still be saying that they will be defeated by those two Maryland teams? Not finding fault with your hypothesis as I generally feel that you are a wealth of HS football criteria. Just curious how you come to this conclusion. The reason that I am inquisitive is that every season I hear that IMG is not going to be as good as the previous season and they will loose some games and every season IMG either goes undefeated or loses one game, by a couple of points, to the best team in the country. ;)

I didn't realize they played Lakeland this year ;)

 

MNW looks good but best in FL is a stretch, top 5 sure, top 3 perhaps

 

Number 1, no

Last year the best FL team they played was a 5-5 MNW team

 

Who was their best win? Hoover

 

Hoover didn't even win state in AL and they usually steamroll that state

 

 

 

What about last year team justifies them being on par with 2016 team who beat multiple powerhouses like Centennial CA and Grayson who were both top 25 teams nationally

 

Only top 25 national team IMG faced last year beat them

 

 

 

 

Also Venice is good but one of best in FL?

 

How high we talking when we say one of best in FL?

SFA in Maryland has 15 players with 3* or better and just destroyed one of strongest programs in all of FL on their own turf

 

Last time IMG faced Miami Central, IMG had second best team in program history and playing at home and was trailing in 4th quarter

 

I don't think it's that crazy to believe that SFA is more than capable of beating IMG, IMG isn't this unbeatable monster everyone tries to make them to be

And that was only taking into account the 2020 class

 

Not even touching on any players in 2021,2022, or 2023 cla

To compare IMG has 10 players with 3* or better

 

So in other words on paper IMG is a underdog and SFA will be at home 

 

 

So just imagine how good SFA may very well be

There are about 15 HS teams in Baltimore area; six are very good; all recruit, but not to same level as St Francis. Starting last season and continuing now, none of the high schools in Baltimore area will play football against St Francis because they are considered an all-star school similar to IMG. St Francis has to play a national schedule. This is what is happening in Florida with the free transfer policy of state legislature passed.

Is it really any different than what metro schools in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami been doing for decades?

 

Many metros have always had loose transfer movement even before the recent rule changes, all this did is limit the restrictions for public schools in more isolated areas and made it where metros weren't able to get around rules while isolated rural schools were lucky to get any transfers approved

All I know is that in 5 years IMG has lost 2 games playing some of the best in the country. During that time they lost in 2014 to St. Johns and in 2018 by 4 points to Mater Dei two powerhouses. Why should anyone doubt their capability in 2019. I'm just going by the odds and statistics that's all. If they don't do well against Northwestern, which has got to be one of the top 3 teams in the state, then maybe you can convince me otherwise. If they blowout Northwestern, just as they did Venice, then I am willing to bet they will run the table in 2019.

I personally feel SFA beats IMG if they play last year, I was never impressed with the IMG team from last year and I am definitely picking SFA to beat them this year

 

SFA destroyed Miami Central at Traz Powell, that was a significant statement to the entire nation that SFA is going for a national championship

    • 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.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
