In my neck of the woods I can say that Harmony lost like 30 seniors to graduation last year from a roster of about 55-60. Lot's of turnover there this year. A few kids transferred out and they lost some pretty talented coaches. It's going to be a long year for the Longhorns.

Bishop Moore travels to Harmony this Friday.

I would be surprised if Bishop Moore doesn't win by at least two scores

Bishop Moore started the season with 4 very difficult match-ups going 1-3. They suffered with a very porous secondary on defense and a D-Line that tired in the 3rd quarter of each game. The Defensive Coordinator was playing most starters both ways and wasn't subbing them out. Their offense was able to put points on the board, but they couldn't match their high powered opponents. After their 4th game against Jones, changes were made to their secondary which led to improvements on defense, but the D-Line was still dragging in the 3rd quarter. They were able to put up big numbers in the first half of the South Sumter game, but had to hold on as South Sumter ran the ball successfully in the second half. In their last game against Tavares, they subbed more on the D-Line and instead of burning out in the 3rd quarter, the D-Line played well the entire game. I would expect BM to win this game at Harmony by 3-4 TD's if they continue to improve as shown in their last two games. They started 1-3, but should finish 7-3 and make a run for the playoffs in 5A.

Right there is a huge part of the reason that Florida high school football is not what it was twenty or thirty years ago when the talent was much more spread out and there were multiple solid teams. Today we have a small cadre of teams with outstanding talent an okay middle that will never compete for a state title, and multiple teams that cannot compete to the extent that in Dade County many of the large (8a and 7a) have seen the need to go independent. 

Personally, I don't see this as healthy. But it is what it is ...

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
