Didn’t Pahokee struggle with Chiefland??

Struggle, No. Made interesting, Yes.

PK's, wrs dropped 3 wide open touchdowns with at least 3 steps on the defender and the QB over threw 2 more wide open players. That's 5 TDs from 5 different possessions that they didn't get, which made the game interesting. 

At no point was Chiefland the better team. PK forced 6 turnovers, but didn't finish some drives. So, yes the game was interesting

Teams like Chiefland Hawthorne Union county should be getting back on the bus after Halftime when they going up against the Madison County’s or pahokee

PK was up 28-13 at the half. Forced a 3 and out on the opening possession for Chiefland. The returner fumbled the punt on the return, giving the ball right back to Chiefland. Then their QB broke off their only offensive to of the second half, a 51 yard run on the option (something PK hadn't seen all season). 

Turnovers, drops, and missed throws by PK made this game interesting. And to Chiefland's credit, they kept fighting and didn't give up. That's why I gave credit to the QB.

Do not Turn the ball over Against Madison County or it will be a long ride back to pk they are 10 times better than Chiefland 

That's been the issue all season for PK. Offense with turnovers and 3 and outs. The defense has forced 13 turnovers (Hawthorne and Chiefland) the last 2 games, but they haven't blown either team out. The offense either stalls out or turns the ball back over. 

That's why I said PK didn't struggle, just made the game interesting when it should've been a blowout

First of all, Madison should be competeing in 3A, where they used to be.

If you're looking for the old Pahokee team that will drop 45 points by halftime...this is not that team. But, they are extremely athletic, defensively sound, and will easily play to the level of thier competition.

I expect Madison to win.. but don't expect a "cakewalk".

Just ask the University School, Chaminade, Dillard, and Deerfield Beach.

From what I heard turnovers killed Chiefland!! 

PK has forced 19 turnovers their last 3 games (including Glades Central) so they weren't unforced errors

    • 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.
