Thoughts, Opinions, Predictions on Finals? I feel like if they train and clean up some plays they'll have a close win against STA. Yea I know Armwood wasn't playing at their best but still, almost nobody thought these kids would get by since the Crestview game.

I believe in this Edgewater team. I did from after the semifinal last year when I realized what you had coming back. With that said, STA is going to be a tall order. But I see a win as possible. It will require the Eagles's best defensive effort. If they can put that effort together for one game, I think the offense can generate enough points to win the school's first football state title which is long overdue.

Sorry but STA by 35. Kings of Florida don't lose much.

Got to see the Broward Academy of Football up here earlier this year.  They didn't seem to have one guy that had to be stopped, but man, they have bodies at all positions and their depth is what makes them hard for most teams to deal with.  There seems to be some opportunity through the air against them....but you have to get their offense off the field first, which is a whole different issue.

Since beginning of football season, I've been saying look out for Edgewater. We've had several folks on here bashing them. The are very quick on both sides of the ball and have great balance on offense. Not saying they will beat STA, but don't sell them short. How many folks picked the Armwood / Lakeland winner to dust off the "over-rated" team from Orlando? We also have Apopka and Jones still in it.

I know I picked Armwood / Lakeland winner. In fact, everyone I talked to about the game had one of those two making the final. But I am happy as hell I was wrong. Those kids from the "O" are getting it done.

I’m pulling for Edgewater. It will be a tall task but nothing is impossible. Shock the nation with this victory.

I believe this Edgewater team has a great opportunity to fly under the radar and shock the nation.  It won't be easy but it's not impossible.  One thing about STA is once they get off their game, it a lot easier to step on their necks.  I guess that applies to anyone though, LOL.

    • 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.
