Did The FHSAA Get It Right This Year???

So, if the season were to end this week, here's what you'd have out of 8A, Region 2:

The four district champs:

D5 - Dr Phillips (3 seed);

D6 - Osceola (Kissimmee) (4 seed);

D7 - Steinbrenner (2 seed);

D8 - Sarasota Riverview (1 seed)

Four wildcards (as it stands now):

5 seed - Newsome

6 seed - Riverview

7 seed - Lennard

8 seed - Plant 

So, here's the interesting part.  For District 7, just like the way it used to be:  District winner and district runner-up both get in.  In Districts 5 and 6 (the Orlando/Orange County-area teams), only the district winners get in.  But in District 8,  FOUR of the six teams make the playoffs!  But, if the seeding stays the way it is right now, none of those four D8 teams would play another one of those four teams in the opening round.  In theory, all four could lose or all four could win first round games.

5A-8A Yes, 1A-4A No. Finding 10 games for a tough 1A-4A team is hard. Trinity Christian just barely got into the playoffs with one of the toughest schedules I've seen. Why not make 1A-4A like the upper classes? Give an incentive to win a district, also allows teams to play teams in similar size.

A lot of teams were going independent because of constantly losing. If my memory serves me right. It worked but there were still runner ups with losing records. So they could try to have 1A-4A like 5A-8A and see how it works but there's always gonna be complaints.

Districts are gone only because those schools were scared and tired of being in a district with BTW, cocoa, TCA, NFC, UC, Madison County, ect.

 

 

Blame the schools for being scared of competition

    • 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
