I think if they did, it would probably break DLS record.....the steak started in 2013 and Vero kept winning despite an increase in scheduling.....So if Vero can keep on winning into 2023 making it a decade for the regular season, would that be incredible to y'all???

For starters you all wouldn't break DLS record since their record was I believe 13 years and their streak included playoffs

Someday yall will be added to the streak and it'll make up ass even more salty

DLS winning streak lasted from 1992 to the beginning of 2004 season and included playoffs, 151 straight wins

 

Even if you want to say regular season the streak is still several years out for Vero Beach but if you want to talk about the streak maybe at least get to 150 regular season wins first if you gonna choose to ignore the importance of playoffs to the streak

Not until you all grow the stones to play a home and home with us

 

And by salty you mean honest? You want Vero Beach to be mentioned alongside nationally elite programs but you have to twist the data to make it sound more impressive

 

This past year was the perfect example of this, you all played 2 road games the entire regular season (both were district games)

 

That is the definition of safe scheduling but you want to ignore the fact that the streak by DLS included PLAYOFFS but because you know that completely destroys your argument you got to rely on "well Columbia lost to this or that" or "you being salty"

 

it's called being honest

Why don't you all go schedule DLS

 

Maybe it can be current streak vs former streak and we can see which team wins that one

You all upped the schedule but your schedule still don't come close to what several elite teams have played and this past year showed how careful you all scheduled by ensuring every at risk game was at home

 

You don't get to say you all could beat anybody but then will only play them at home 

 

Ik Columbia would play any team in the nation if they come to Lake City but I'm not sitting here every day bragging about it or saying we would beat these state and national elites because we beat a few decent teams in a home environment that is built up to myth proportions

 

 

Vero is a solid team but this need to brag about a regular season streak and trying to compare it to DLS 12 year undefeated streak and state championship streak is laughable, a regular season streak like Vero has is impressive but not even close to same ballpark as DLS

 

honestly the BTW streak from 2012-2015 was far more impressive IMO considering the level of teams they beat during that streak

Listen whenever Vero get a new team on our schedule, it is predicted that Vero will lose, three years in a row it was said we will lose, Oscar Smith 2017, Venice 2018, and Chaminade 2019 and guess what they won them all

And beating those 3 somehow makes their winning streak in the same tier as a team who went undefeated for 12 years and won state year after year those years

They aren't, in any way, shape or form, in the running for DLS's record. DLS's record was ALL games, not merely regular season games followed by early playoff exits.

Schedule IMG St. Thomas or a team from Miami and see how Veros winning streak does, until then I’ll have no respect for Vero being a fools gold team in the regular season.

No the hell they're not, they ain’t competing with St. Frances. Vero Beach should schedule Saint Frances and see how that works for them.

Is that why SFA went to Traz and killed an elite Miami Dade school?

 

And who was this second SFL team you played last year besides Chaminade?

Vero beach is always in the mix when it comes to state rankings. They have even beefed up their schedule big time from years past. Vero most definitely has the athlets but they still lose in the 2nd round(except for this past season they made it to the 3rd). I believe the issue is the other teams they are playing are just tougher up front(D-line and O-line) when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd round of the class 8A playoffs. They just dont seem to have that "want to" in the trenches. Speaking from experience, you have to have that "want to" to be great.

    • 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.
