Hillsborough County just destroyed Brevard County

Recommended Posts


Rockledge had a few injured players, but I'm still surprised they lost... not an excuse but Smith and Tennison are the real power of that team. Smith was injured in a very physical Cocoa-Rockledge rival game last week. Not sure if he played or was 100%. But more than a few players for both teams were in pain at the end the game. Cocoa drops a pass in the endzone on 4th down for the tie with 25 seconds left. That's how close the game was.

Rockledge losing was unexpected. If they over looked Chamberlain then they deserve to lose.

Would be interested in seeing the stats of that game.

My 2 cents... Brevard has some great athletes. Never think they are an easy win.

2 out of 5 from Brevard still in. Lets see how Holy Trinity and Cocoa do next week.

Out are Viera, Eau Gallie, and Rockledge.

Brevard isn’t good at football. They had to stack players all on one or two teams to compete and since the guys who did that (Wilk and Mays) are gone, now you see what they are really about. 

Brevard is overrated as hell and it showed 

Brevard has had a lot of teams in the finals and won a lot of championships. Not sure why you are so anti Brevard. And trust me... It shows.

What I noticed from Brevard since Wilk got to Cocoa was one one other than Cocoa was remotely good. From 2008 or so. And they weren’t really that good nationally or at the top of the state. Just good for their area. They were playing in the bush league classes when they were winning state. Playing slappies. 

Then the flood gates opened and Brevard became the Wild West. With Mays at Viera, Cocoa and Stacy at Mel CC, they poached all the talent possible from Titusville, Melbourne, Astronaut, Holy Trinity etc etc. 

And they still couldn’t field elite teams at the state level. They routinely got clubbed by the better teams. Even with Brevard County all star teams they still couldn’t compete on a national level or at the top of the state. 

Brevard has some decent individual talent, but if everyone played in their zone you would have a lot of mediocrity all over, and no one even close to sniff a title.

Brevard is just overrated and just because they have a lot of forum posters on message boards those won’t change one iota

With the exception of Dade County, the above could be said of pretty much every other area of the state including all the large, metro areas. In Dade, the Northwest corner of the county would always produce a few statewide and often nationally competitive teams. You cannot say the same for Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale, though in the case of FTL, the reason has as much to do with St. Thomas, American Heritage and more recently Cardinal Gibbons, and to a lesser degree Chaminade.

Brevard usually always has 2 decent to good teams that were able to compete regionally and breakthrough the state level. From the 80s till now. Brevard has and will always have a respected team or 2. Whether it was melbourne, Titusville or Merritt Island. To Palm Bay and Rockledge. Now its Cocoa, Rockledge and Viera. Heck even Bayside made some noise my junior and senior year. Giving Manatee a game in the playoffs.

National rankings speak a different story. Thank God no one looks at the Nolebull poll. They do that one at the Slurpee King. Cocoa national ranking in 08,  09, 10, 16 was Top 50 in country, twice in Top 25.

Cocoa had double digit transfers almost every year. And they still got smoked out of state annually, and sometimes to inferior teams. 

Brevard was a transfer factory with a few teams poaching all the talent in the county. That doesn’t show signs of strength, quality and depth. It shows the opposite. They can’t compete on a state level without stealing all their neighbors best players. 

I admitted Brevard had some good teams over the years. But that was because they were transfer county all star teams. 

You can’t prove otherwise

08-10 Cocoa really didn't have any transfers.  Pretty all homegrown. Yes I admit there last state team did have plenty of transfers from Heritage. But a lot of the transfers Cocoa did get transferred out of Cocoa and transferred back. Or were originally zoned for Cocoa to begin with. But in Cocoa's run in the playoffs over the past decade they've loss to BTW and Raines. Their 1st state game against Raines they literally dropped the ball by not making adjustments. All the years they lost to BTW , many considered those semis as the actual state game. 

This season in Brevard players from palm bay transferred to Rockledge after Dan Burke retired. MCC OC took over at Palm Bay...Hence all the MCC offensive playmakers transferring to Palm Bay.

And how did that make them any different than your beloved "national" academies?

You can add BTW national champion team to the list as well. Also Cocoa should've went into halftime leading Gorman.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • 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.
