Calpreps has St' Iggy's rated at 32, while Rockledge cracks the top 100 at 93.

I'm especially interested in this one since it is my HS Alma Mater. 

Yes, I transfered from Cocoa to the Rock in 71 when they opened. My loyalties are with both schools.

St Frances vs Venice should not be here. That’s a joke game. Venice will get squished.

I have a feeling that STA vs Mandarin could be another blowout even though the game will be played in Jax.

Note the title of the thread..."interesting"...does not necessarily mean competitive.  Is a great opportunity for folks in the Venice area to see what appears to be one of the best hs teams in the country this year, although it might hurt to watch.

I definitely know your struggle. I grew up in Cocoa and all my family basically went to Cocoa. All my siblings, mom, aunts, uncles and cousins all went to Cocoa. I was the first to attend Rockledge. So I'm definitely rooting for the rock.

If Edgewater can cut down on the mental mistakes and penalties, they will beat Marietta. 

Wouldn't be surprised a bit if Edgewater beat Marietta. Marietta barely won 10 games the last two years combined. People say they're a top dog in Georgia, but having a few good players doesn't make you a top dog. Would have much rather seen an Edgewater vs. Colquitt/Grayson/Lowndes/North Gwinnett match up. Colquitt travels to Trinity Christian in a couple of weeks. Lowndes played Northwestern and North Gwinnett played Armwood and we all know how well our state was portrayed in those games.....Not good for the state of FL. With that being said, Edgewater may go up to Marietta and earn a little respect back for the state!

I really don't know how good St Frances is. I watched their full game against Mater Dei and they didn't look that good to me. I know that Mater Dei is a powerhouse. But still St Frances, if they are that good of a team, should have done better against them. I guess we will know how good they are when IMG travels up to Baltimore October 18th.

On paper SFA senior class is more loaded then IMG (so if IMG is the unstoppable monster some think they are then SFA must be pretty good, they also destroyed Miami Central on their own turf)

 

Mater Dei is a clear number 1 team nationally so I can't criticize SFA too much for that loss as IMG would have suffered same fate

 

 

In addition SFA just beat NJ powerhouse SJR  28-0 this past week who was ranked top 10 nationally almost across the board

Best shot at an out of state win this week is Rockledge. I expect it to be a competitive game atleast.

The Edgewater vs Marietta game is very interesting but Fla schools haven't done well in Ga this season.

Mater Dei looks like the best team in the country hands down this season IMO. That St. Frances team is the real deal and MD had no trouble dispatching them. IMG/St. Frances will be interesting. I think the bulk of IMG's squad is underclassmen this season.

All I can say is what I witnessed. St Frances did not look like a top team regardless of who they were playing. Kept running plays that were not working. They also don't seem to have the speed that IMG has. I think that IMG will be ready for them. IMG always seems to have players that step up when other things may not be working. Just like Gennady Golovkin. One shot can change the entire fight and can produce a win.  IMG is also a team that has greatly progressed from the first game. However, they have to play and defeat SFA on their field which is always a difficult task. Columbiafan I know you'll be rooting for SFA but please try not to get too depressed if IMG takes them to the woodshed, OK. :(

If IMG is Golovkin then SFA Canelo. I watched the highlights of the game as well and SFA held their own for a good portion of the game. But if you play a perfect game and make the right adjustments against a team like Mater Dei, then there's no way you will have a chance to beat a team of that caliber no matter how good you are. But honestly, IMG vs SFA is a 50/50 game. Should be a great one.

Madison wins 35-17

Also highest point output so far by a team against columbia was Oakleaf who we held to 19 which was only time this season someone held Oakleaf under 20 points

 

 

I think the Numbers are about to turn Madison inside out because no matter which way i spin it the numbers in Columbia favor heading into Friday

    • I suddenly wish Bridgewater had known he was breaking the rules and kept it on the DL.  He obviously cares a lot about that program and those kids.  Hate to see a guy who cares like that get taken down while the true cheaters are out there doing their thing.
    • Yes, the free market should be allowed to draw the lines between amateurism and professionalism. The beauty of playing strictly for the love of the game will certainly be allowed to persist. And, kids and adults alike play A LOT of games for fun as it is. See adult rec leagues, intramurals etc. This includes those who've been able to become wealthy through playing the sport as well!  I think that, eventually, people like most all of us are going to recognize that it is preposterous to have teenagers getting paid to play high school sports, and/or get a free college education along with the extra compensation. Most of us have been fans of the game and of the school, not the "star" athletes. In the long run, I don't think there will be much of a market for paid teenager athletes. But, if someone is willing to part with their $ to allow a kid to be less poor, and that means that School A easily crushes the competition, I don't think that's a bad thing. It IS a thing that will cause a great many people to lose interest. And that will in turn diminish the market, which will of course mean kids aren't making any money anyway. At issue, as I keep harping on, is the fact that the "big time" sports world where NIL money is available is an entirely different, beast of an animal that K-12 schools and even universities are not equipped to manage. Nor should they be. Big time, for profit sports should be separated from schools. The mission of the two entities is competely misaligned. 
    • It is somewhat understandable for a guy who's passionate about the sport, and who reached very close to the pinnacle of it, to be dismissive of the many dimwits making the rules who have none of the above characteristics. And, he may also be considering the possibility that calling attention to the (perhaps) absurd nature of the rules and/or the dearth of funding in high school football may be worth it in the big picture. He's almost certainly going to have the opportunity to coach at the higher levels, and is not likely to be at Norhwestern for very long, anyway. He may make a bigger impact long-term/big picture doing this sort of thing than just winning a couple state titles and jetting.
    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.   
    • Yes of course big shot, how dare anyone try to help some young man out with a generous offer from his own pocket! Did the new pinstripe suits arrive yet from Brooks Brothers, F. Lee Bailey, Clarence Darrow Jr?!
