Good game if true... always thought that Columbia should play both the Valdosta schools (one home, one away) just like Buchholz (until this year) and Gainesville.

Ideally, I would think Columbia would want a schedule like:

  1. Gainesville (District or non-district)
  2. Buchholz
  3. Valdosta
  4. Lowndes
  5. Madison County
  6. Trinity Christian
  7. Bolles
  8. District/Suwannee
  9. District
  10. District

Mostly for the gates, reduced travel time, and a decent level of competition. A schedule like the above would be pretty tough overall depending on the district games (probably tougher than this year's schedule).

Well buchholz, Bolles and Suwannee were too scared to play so we had to look elsewhere

 

We can't force them to play

Spoke to the coach at Valdosta. He is looking for a home and home with one more FL team around the Jax or Tally area. He hinted he doesn’t want a powerhouse but I told him that’s a trick response because there are no powerhouses In either area. 

Lincoln is the best from Tally and Bolles/Raines is the best from Jax. 

Maybe TC and Mandarin. 

All those teams would get run out of the stadium by Valdosta

Mandarin would be a bad idea 

 

Without Beck they will drop a bit

 

 

Of the ones listed Flagler Palm Coast, Raines, St Augustine or TCA would be best bets

I emailed a few teams that I thought might put up a fight. 

Mandarin, St Augustine and Flagler Palm Coast. Haven’t heard back yet 

Any luck finding out if Lowndes would play columbia

 

I heard we planned to reach out to them as well (they may have but can't confirm)

    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • 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.
