I was wrong about how good TBT is or were. Lakeland played flat, messy and had a tons of penalties but survived a tough TBT team. Felt like last years Plant Game. 

Without Lampkin and Glinton, this just isn't an elite team. And, at this point, I have to assume both are done for the year. Eight (8)  personal foul penalties didn't help.

Arian Smith is afraid when the ball is in the air. He may or may not be scared of the ball itself, but he's *absolutely* scared of something or someone. Not much for blocking, either.

Have to hope Lampkin and Glinton somehow come back and can play close to full strength. Otherwise, the season ends next Friday.

I know. Early AM posts :). Lakeland is an excellent team with an exceptional talent in Bowman. Don't get me wrong. Lakeland without Bowman still beats 90% of the teams out there. But Lakeland without Bowman wouldn't have a chance against Armwood. Should be a barn burner and a great game. Good luck. I really have no rooting interest other than I want the winner of this game to win state over hated S. Florida. I guess the next team I would root for is Niceville. It's been too long since the Panhandle has had a big school champ.

What happened to Lampkin and Glinton?

It's not been announced. I've heard both would be back. Lampkin was said to be back for Tech, but wasn't. No word on Glinton. Some of the field shots from the webcast showed a couple big guys on crutches or that newish unicycle thingy. My hunch is, if they were going to be able to be back, they would've at least dressed last night. Neither did. I'm certainly not saying there is any obligation for anyone to disclose the nature or severity of the injuries. But, without those guys, Lakeland doesn't pose a substantial threat to STA and probably won't beat Armwood. Lampkin is their best OL and Glinton is their best DL, both are among the top couple of strongest players on the team, and both see spot duty on the other side of the ball. On a side note, the team also lost three other players (a Victory transfer, the 6th man of last year's OL, and a big kid from Virginia) prior to the season who figured to be in the two-deep in the trenches. So, at the moment, they are down 5 lineman from the early August two-deep. Last night, what had been projected to be an immensely deep OL and DL, was a team lacking in depth. TBT is big up front on the OL, has a big RB and goes no-huddle. NOT the team the L wanted to see with so many lineman missing.

But, if they get Lampkin and Glinton back, IMO they can still win 7A.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.

      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
