Someone would have to propose it. It would be debated. It would be voted on. I know you passed Civics.

It was proposed and it was voted down 

 

One of the proposals when they removed districts in 1-4a was to set a few games mandatory between the region with the teams being able to decide among themselves which teams in the region they played

 

I don't think it made it through the first phase of voting before getting voted down

Bolles wouldn't have beaten Lee or North Marion

 

Bolles couldn't beat University Christian who on a year to year basis is always a medium sized fish in a very small pond

 

 

 

And between cocoa and mainland who is the best win between those 2 this year?

Columbia’s best win was over 5-5 Trinity Christian or a 1A team

They lost to Trinity Catholic in the playoffs.  They as nolebull says is garbage.  As Jesse says trash

Probably because they were banged up from a murder row schedule but that's what happens when so many north FL teams are scared of competition

 

And these schools wonder why they get embarrassed by SFL teams, when you fear competition you have no chance of beating elite teams

    • Agree with what you think mostly, except I'd use a 4 year average and only move the top team in each region up and bottom team in each region down based on that average. I think 4 years gives a better overall picture of a program.
    • What this means is we will soon see one of two scenarios play out in the coming years: 1) A subset of students will eventually not be able to attend a "good" school because there is simply no space for them due to there being a scarcity of "good" schools 2) Assuming compulsory attendance remains a thing, we will see longtime elite private high schools nosedive in performance. The schools can not perform magic: unmotivated, unprepared often defiant students will NOT be good students no matter what the school does/doesn't do. And oftentimes these sorts of students do have parents who will do the absolute bare minimum needed to get the kid into a private school through the new rules. Anyone who genuinely believes that the schools with higher test scores automatically do a better job of teaching the kids than schools with lower scores is an imbecile. 
    • Here’s a scenario that will cook your noodle. There’s an 11th grader at a D rated public school. Lives in a bad neighborhood with a single mom and a bunch of siblings. Dirt poor, and struggle just to eat and keep the lights on. He can’t get a part time job to help out because he has to watch his little siblings while his mom works.    The school he plays for has poor attendance at the football games, and is always bad. He is a super star for them and tons of new bandwagon fans start to attend the games because they are good and he is the reason. School is making tons of new money.    Season is over. Back to reality for him. School year is over. Summer hits. Some “runner” on behalf of the rich local private school “offers” his mom, him, and all his siblings a way out of poverty. New place to live, food on the table, and an opportunity to get a quality education and maximize exposure for all the top colleges to see. A once in a lifetime opportunity to get his family out of poverty. What say you? Does he say no and continue to barely survive, or does he take the deal? 
    • To make it short and sweet. I am against breaking the rules. If there is a rule that seems outdated or unfair then it should be amended/changed/repealed with majority rule 
    • I am a huge proponent of innocent until proven guilty, and due process with credible evidence. I support a credible investigation, and not some witch hunt by disgruntled folks both near and far from the program. Let’s hope they can get to the bottom of this quickly
