Strange game and the outcome, 20-7 Osceola, was not indicative of the play on the field. 

DP drove 65 yards for their first score, stopped Osceola, then fumbled on their own 20 which led to an Osceola TD.

DP trailed 10-7 at the half and quickly got down to the 6 yard line... pick 6 Osceola, 17-7. 14-point swing on one play. Probably the most devastating play for DP since the Plant tip-drill in 2013 (Southridge deep TD in 4thQ 2016 is #3). DP got deep into Osceola territory again but two drives staled within the 30. 

A muffed punt led to the next Osceola FG for the 20-7 margin with 8:00 left (also the final score).

Good luck to Osceola the rest of the way. This one absolutely got away from DP on one play (the 94 yard pick 6). One play decided this game.

Can’t turn the ball over in the playoffs or you end up turning in your pads.  Fumble, pick 6 and a muffed punt is tough to overcome in the playoffs.  DP’s defense improved a ton since week one but once again they struggled on offense to score points.  If the offense was as good as the defense every year you might have 5 state titles.

Sorry DP's season ended that way, Mid. Was looking forward to an Apopka vs DP rematch. But I speak too soon: Seminole awaits!

Saw the second half at BT last night.  We got there late.  Exactly what I thought would happen. Too much ground game.  Have seen Apopka the last three years (the two Mandarin games and last night).  Even though I have only a small sample size to go on, IMO they are much better this year, especially on defense.  They pretty much stymied BT's offense, which no one has done all year.  Would be surprised if they are not in the final in a couple of weeks.

No doubt Apopka's defense is much better. The offense for an Apopka team is average (maybe slightly above average at this stage). No real stud athlete, but guys that can move the chains. If Davis-Hamilton was not lost for his senior season, I would be much more confident that Apopka makes the finals. The Seminole game presents a real challenge as they match Apopka athletically and have a very good, junior QB.

Going to find out how good Apopka's secondary is.  This should be a really good game.  Apopka's offense has come to life in the playoffs.  Of the 4 teams left in the North Seminole probably has the most talent and would host every game so they have to be the favorite.  With that said Seminole is not a juggernaut.  I could see any of these 4 teams representing the North.

I agree with you, coach Rolson, has done a very good job with the talent he was dealt. If he manages to get to the finals, let alone win it all, he should justly be a candidate for coach of the year.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      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.
