As a Central alumni and fan, all I will say is "this team" is in trouble. What I saw tonight was a complete disgrace! I won't go into full details, but if they get past the 2nd I'd be surprised. They may not make it past the first....And I said what I said!

I am sorry to hear that, man. I know you are a loyal Central fan, but you call it the way you see it. If you are right, and I have no reason to doubt you, this would be a bad end to what seemed like a very promising season.

Did AJ not being there impact offense that much?

That may have something to do with it mentally, but this team from the first game of the season has had no fire, no heart, no discipline, etc. And the coaching is a whole other story. This defense has been the worst I've seen in 10+ years.

Internal issues that are causing problems on the surface. I could see Dillard beating MC this year.

Wow is it true that y’all OC quit this week ? If so that’s crazy fam. I still see you all being in the sheer of things just off pure talent plus your first two round matchups will be against opponents not even on the same stratosphere as a even avg team from south Florida.

Yes, the OC is gone. But in my opinion, he was a cancer to the team. Wanted to be the HC, OC, DC, STC, water boy, etc.

Concerning Central, it's hard for me to bet against them or Northwestern come playoff time, regardless of what troubles they may be facing  Let's not forget Northwestern came into the 2018 playoffs 5-5.  And in 2017, the Bulls were upset by Norland at the end of the season.  In both cases, there were folks going off the deep end and claiming the Bulls were down.    

I would not get too excited about this single loss to Chaminade.  CM has one of the best rb's in the state, and it sounds like the kid was on last night.   CM is no slouch, regardless of what happened at Vero Beach.

I hear what you're saying about not betting against MC. But the difference in this MC and teams of the past is, a lot of the motivators are gone. Coaches and players. Northwestern has Max Edwards and whatever he is selling those kids, they are buying into it. Roland Smith just doesn't have it. It's not solely about losing to Chaminade because they are good. MC just may be on the decline and if you paid close attention, you saw it at the end of last season.

I just don't understand how Central can blast Carol City put up almost 50 but lose to Chiminade 27-7 while CC beat Chiminade 14-13.

Smh football is crazy.

That’s why every game is its own game ..any given night ..plus some matchups bring more out of players & teams. 
 

a team like carol city & MNW will get more out of central simply because it’s personal those kids stay round each other grew up with each other played youth ball with each other.

but when they play a school from broward (a county they don’t respect or look at as a threat anyway) they don’t have that same “umph” they would have vs one of the teams above. Yea they still wanna win & etc but the overall atmosphere is different and the crowds won’t travel the same Miami central didn’t have a great showing fans wise at all at the Chaminade game. Probably had the same mindset most of the players had.

I agree with about 95% of this comment. But in regards to the showing, MC had a really good number of fans there. Chaminade's field doesn't hold many people and there's only one side where both fan bases have to split. There were a lot of fans standing on the outer portion of the field.

    • 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.
