I have no clue what their plans will be but that would be a big expense to stay the night prior.  It still is amazing that there is a region that extends from Escambia county all the way to Orlando.  That is over 500 miles end to end.  FHSAA can't do better than that?

They do that so the districts will be larger, the 3 team district in Tallahassee was very bad 

 

We used to share a district with Leon and St John's schools in the 90s which meant for someone like St Augustine they used to have Lincoln in district (around 4 hours each way)

 

 

People can't sit here complaining about too small of districts and too many bad teams getting in, and then complain about travel

 

 

There is no perfect solution, I have a written idea which would take care of most the travel issues (at least for District games) but most small schools would hate a idea like that

 Lincoln proved that Edgewater is fools gold.  Anyone who thought Edgewater was a top ranked Florida team doesn’t know what they are watching. 

 I wouldn’t be so critical of Edgewater if people didn’t falsely put them on a pedestal where they don’t belong and have never earned. 

 If Niceville is just a hair better than Lincoln then they should have no issue.

If Marietta had come to FLA and lost by a TD or so you may be singing a different tune. 1 game doesn't make or break a season unless its the last one. I agree with you that until Edgewater actually wins a title, they are a little over-hyped. But they are a good program and good team. I think calling them fools gold takes it too far.

Over hyped?  Not sure what hype Edgewater has gotten.  They were the one of the best teams in Central Florida during the regular season.  Right now they are not playing like it but they are still playing.  A win over Niceville would put them in the final 4 of 7A which is by far the best class.

Agreed Babdbird.

 

 Overhyped only in the sense that Edgewater is frequently mentioned as a serious threat for 7A championship without ever finishing when there are still 5 teams alive with 27 total championships to their credit. But an excellent program.  Needs to finish once on the field before they earn the clout of STA, Lakeland, Manatee, Armwood, and Venuce.

I think the edge would have to go to Edgewater just because of the travel issue.   If Edgewater were coming to Niceville then we would have the edge and Niceville is a very hard place to come to and play.  Loud and raucous.  Niceville went to Tally to play Chiles and that is their only long travel trip this year.

It should be a good game. I am not sure who wins it, but the long trip for Niceville does not help their cause.

It would take a miracle for them to beat Lakeland/Armwood then STA.  They are not in that league.  If they were 8A they would have a chance

Agreed. I could see them pulling one upset (possibly) if they got there. Two in a row is not likely. In 8A, they would join a number of other teams still playing that have a good chance.

The weather has been a factor in Orlando for the first two rounds of the playoffs; rain is a great equalizer. This Friday there are no predictions of rain.

Large crowds will be coming from Niceville for the game.  I know visitor side seating is very limited at Edgewater which is one reason most of the band isn’t coming.  Can seating be added for Friday night?  They do that at Niceville for bigger games and there is quite a bit of seating at our stadium.

At times, they have brought in temporary seating. Not sure what their expectations are for this one, though, as Niceville is coming from a long distance. Hopefully, your administration has had communication with Edgewater's admin.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.

      I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.
