Marcus Shaw Desoto Bulldogs;  saw a 2 hr rain delay at the Fish Bowl with him and Charlotte's Michael Bellamy, then the Number 1 and 2 rushers in the state showdown. Those two kept everybody in their seats, no one left. My youngest caused 2 fumbles that night. Played at USF

It is Marcus Shaw of Desoto, and he did play for USF.  Thanks for the Charlotte story.  Do you happen to know the answers to #4 and #5?

Thats right they are,  Pirates 

If I'm not mistaken, Braden River made the playoffs in just their 2nd year of varsity play.  The district was Hardee, Desoto, Braden River and Bayshore.  I recall coach Price, Hardee's coach at the time, staying Braden River is destined to be an instant powerhouse.

It looks like Braden River. Desoto and Braden River played twice that year, district game and 2nd round of the playoffs.

It was 2008, Braden River vs Desoto, and a spot in a 3A region final was on the line.  Desoto won 14-7 and went on to the region final, where they lost to thew eventual state champion, Cocoa.  That was rare trip beyond the second round for Desoto.

    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave.
