Too bad Columbia didn't play Bolles in the 2019 Florida Tournament.   If they had, we would have known for sure who would have prevailed in this I-10 match-up.  :D

Bolles could have played Columbia for real

 

We aren't the one who didn't want to keep playing lol

And how are you gonna force the schools to take these games? 

Rules. You know, those things that govern the member schools? Hillsborough is stuck with a "regional" county schedule.

Yeah but who's gonna vote to pass that rule?

 

They tried once already and it got no where close to approval because the schools voted against it

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

A 5-5 TCA playing the toughest schedule in the state of Florida

 

They go undefeated playing a Bolles schedule

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

Or maybe they were not very good this year

    • 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.
