Dear Lord I wouldn't want to be in that region.  Any of these teams might be a favorite in 5A, 6A or 8A

 

#1 Gulliver Prep ranked #19 in state by maxpreps

#2 University  ranked #28 in state by maxpreps

#3 Cardinal Gibbons  ranked #18 in state by maxpreps

#4 Booker T ranked #14 in state by maxpreps

#5 Carol City ranked #34 in state by maxpreps

Definitely would not be a favorite in 5A. NW blanked Gibbons and CC Heritage beat Gibbons in a much closer game.

People just like to argue.  I said might.  Heck after they beat each other up they might now win 4A.  5 really good teams in one region.  Not many teams would want to be in that region.    

No argue. You stated your opinion on here and i stated mine. People are just too sensitive. And in MY OPINION NW or Heritage would still be the 2 favorites if all of these teams were in 5A.

I think it's safe to say, the winner of that region will be a state champion a few weeks later.

They will have a challenge waiting for them if Cocoa makes it out of the North.

That's fair but I'll still take the Region 4 winner over anybody. Cocoa is certainly no slouch and they're battled tested to say the least.

so if Cocoa doesn't make it the team that beat team has no chance?

I honestly feel like Bolles is Cocoa's main challenge. Honestly don't think Bolles will be able to contain the athletes those teams possess for 4 quarters.

Bolles would get waxed by any one of those Region 4 teams.

    • 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.
