NVM I just checked 

 

AHD is a solid team but they aren't close to par with SFA from last season

 

Just because a team resides in SFL don't mean they are suddenly elite because of their placement on a map 

Hey columbiafan Venice needs a week 2... Is Columbia open? We’ll make the trip if needed

Week 2 is full for us

 

 

After the season I was told our openings was week 3,4 and 9 and I think KOC is open

 

We are supposed to play Valdosta week 3 but a contract didn't get signed yet and with their coach being fired idk if that game ends up making it to the fall

 

The people at Columbia won't tell me what openings we have still so I only know what we started the off-season with and I have no idea what openings if any got filled, my advice is if you have any if those weeks open you can let coach peacock know he can try reaching out but I can't guarantee what weeks we have open but that's what I have to work with

 

 

Maybe @nolebull813 will have better luck as a middle man for these games than I would though as he has our AD number and he has coach peacocks number

Maybe I'm a little bit shell shocked because I'm in an area where there aren't many teams that can have that kind of sustained success. To me, 60+ wins in a row (regular season, I know) is already an outstanding accomplishment. That's not easy to do. Is it as impressive as other streaks since it didn't include the playoffs/state titles? I don't think so. Does it need to be a decade long to be impressive? No. I think there's a reason many teams haven't been able to accomplish what Vero has done, and is there anybody else who is close to Vero's win streak? I'm not too familiar with other areas of the state?

It is impressive regardless of how many of those games were not that challenging but the issue I have is when he tries to push this streak like it's in the same discussion as the DLS streak or that this streak makes Vero Beach a powerhouse 

 

So in other words it's not that I don't find the streak impressive but I think he tries to blow it out of proportion and make it sound like it's on par with streaks that IMO are much better

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

To be fair I don’t think cali had true playoff back then.

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.

Gotta have beef though too.  I’ve seen kids that want it more than anyone but that effort won’t win against a huge talented front.

    • 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. 
    • 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.”
