Cocoa and Chaminade Madonna look like they both have an open date 10/11... Can someone make this happen...

Chaminade-Madonna has a full schedule. They don't have an open date. Don't fully rely on MaxPreps FWIW.

don't rely on the website that we are going to use to determine who makes the playoffs in baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball and soccer?  I know this is football but volleyball input is pathetic on maxpreps also.

Everything on it is pathetic. To add insult to injury, I destroyed one of my email addresses by being a score poster for Oakridge soccer.

Maxpreps flooded my email with junk from gambling to dating to flat out porn to extended warranties to ... to

And the schools are going to get fined if they don't do it... so there is that.

Schools might get fined but it still doesn’t make it correct.  Do you think the fhsaa knows every game that was played? For example team A plays in a tournament but fails to enter the games in.  Someone keeping track of every game not entered and following up if it was played or not? I’m guess they don’t have time to do all that

I know a team in Tennessee that has 10/11 open but I feel they would beat Cocoa. 

Cocoa doesn’t do well North of Jacksonville or West of Pensacola. 

So I’ll pass for the time. If I find a team I feel they could compete with I’ll let them know 

Just saying, pretty sure Cocoa is 2-3 against teams west of Pensacola. And I can't remember any teams OOS Cocoa has played that have been a smaller school than Cocoa.

What’s the coaches email? I looked the TN team up. The game might be close

Which TN team? I live in Knoxville and would love to see Cocoa play. If I wasn't working when they were in ATL, I would have gone to it.

West of Pensacola they are 2-4 north of Jacksonville they are 3-5

So, I guess there will be no make-up game for Cocoa on this Bye week? How does that affect them for the play-offs at the end of the year?

It won't, they have played 6 games and have 3 more games left. So unless 2 of the 3 get canceled they will have the minimum required of 8 games.  Additionally, adding a team that is not a quality win (less than .500) generally wouldn't help them. Take the week off and prepare.

    • 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.
