6A is wide open and weak.  Same can probably be said for 8A

6A has no clear favorite. MC is very beatable. Dillard could be a dark horse. Naples can make a nice run if they get home games. Palmetto and Lake Gibson, the verdict is still out on them. And it's a crapshoot for the top half of the draw.

Maxpreps has Apopka ranked #4 in 8A.  Ask Darterblue.  This Apopka team is not very good however they do have a shot in a watered down weak 8A.  

With all due respect to the blue darters they will face solid competition in 8a region 1

 

Doubt they make it out of regional play

I don't think they will either.  Two of the three teams ahead of them are in Region 1.   However they are one of the better 8A tams and very average this year.

I was just saying yesterday how 6A is wide open this year there is no CLEAR and undeniable but there is a lot of balance and a few potentials.

coming into this year Dillard was ranked behind MC SOUTH RIDGE Belen & norland in 6A south. But I honestly believe other then Miami central ..Dillard has the next best chance to represent 6A in the championship. Or ATLEAST the state semis.

still a long way to go before that tho right now our goal is to try and get to (10-0) next Saturday.

This one was a big surprise to me. This is the best Palmetto defense I've ever seen and I'm kinda shocked by the score. The local papers only showed the score and didn't offer much of a story line as to what was going on with Palmetto Fri night. Were players out? Did they decide to play the young guys because they've already locked up a playoff spot? Maybe Lincoln just had one of those nights were the ball just bounced their way? I'll have to take a ride to the barbershop tomorrow and see if someone knows the scoop. I do know this Palmetto team is legit and should make a deep run in the playoffs.

Why was Palmetto playing Lincoln to begin with?  Am I correct that Palmetto is in the Bradenton area and Lincoln is in Tallahassee?  That's like a 4-5 hour bus ride for a regular-season, non-district game, right?  

Maybe the Palmetto coach is crazy like a fox and trying to get his team ready for the prospect of a long bus ride in a playoff game.

sometimes it's better to play teams outside of your area to see how you stack up to other areas in the state, if you only play teams in your area you may end up being unprepared when facing a team from a different area of the state as teams in other areas are built different

 

Like for Columbia if we did nothing but play teams in North Central Florida when we get in playoffs and have to face teams from other areas of the state who are completely different matchups we may not truly be prepared for what weaknesses might be exploited by someone in a different area

I agree 100%.  But Tallahassee is an awfully long way to travel from Palmetto.  Plenty of other  teams "outside of [their] area" 2-3 hours away.

    • When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day.    but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided.    and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other.    I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year.    if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater. 
    • I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.
    • Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach. 
    • There are zero coaches on campus, every single coach left 
    • There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic
