Don't forget got a few stud recruits err transfers in 2018

Who didn't?  That is hs football now.  Jacksonville is huge and spread out.  Nearly 20 highschools that play football.  If that number was lower and these teams merged, we would have teams go deep every year like these areas with few schools that get all the athletes from their area.

well 1A cried about small private schools so there are not many teams in 1A.  If you do districts teams will have to travel.  They need to combine 1A and 2A and then travel wouldn't be as big of an issue

If your gonna combine 1A and 2A then you also need to combine 3A and 4A... You saying 1A cried, but guarantee you would hear more grief from 2A teams than 1A teams if the 2 got combined.

You might but the 1A teams are why it got split.  Also if it was put back together some private school would just recruit more and the public schools would cry again.  Remember public schools were getting shut out in the small classifications

True. Outside of Trenton, Madison County, etc., very few were able to compete with the recruited up little privates. 

 

The easy solution, still, is to separate the privates. Give them 2 or 3 classes. Give the public schools 4 classes. That solves pretty much everything. Have big school and small school open bowl at the end if the teams want to challenge each other. If in some years they don't, you can draw in an OOS opponent w/ TV and $.

The lower division issue stems from a few powerhouses who recruit having loaded teams with like 7 d-1 players versus a team with no college players at all and that what started this whole mess. Same issue in many other states as well. Easy solution is too have a winning multiplier where a low division team has to bump up a division if they finish in top 8 two years in a row and have those team play up. 

As for the issue of 8A , it has a problem where high enrollment teams are sometime twice as big in enrollment as the low end of the classification. This was not a problem when football participation numbers were much higher for all schools. Now many 7A and 8A teams are struggling to fill a freshman and JV team and it is going to make the discrepancy even worse in the future. Its not fair a term has 4500 to 5000 students compared to 2500 but noone bothers to complain about that or threaten to leave to FHSAA at that level. It will become a issue soon.

Public schools with under 1000 in a class; Private schools in another class;  Everybody else split up into 4 classes.  Wish I had the data to see what that would look like.

dear god lets cry about every thing.  This is why we have the mess we have.  I'm not trying to pick on you but then do we cry about panhandle coaches getting paid more and they should be in a different class.  Or Lakeland is school choice but Plant is not so they should be in different classes?  It can't all be the same.  It doesn't matter if I have 80k kids in my school if they can't play football.  If I recruit 22 studs and I have 50 kids in my school I'm going to do pretty good.  

 

Cut the classes down, make districts bigger, stop giving everyone a participation trophy, and lets play football.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • 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
