ESPN broadcasts top high school football games every year. I would think that Florida State Championship games would meet that criteria, especially the upper division games.

They broadcast games that have huge amounts of ESPN 300 players on it because it gives ESPN a chance to hype up their rankings

 

Unless SFL teams are able to participate than it's highly unlikely there will be enough teams with a high count of those ESPN 300 players for ESPN to have any interest in broadcasting

The games that I have watched on ESPN usually focused on one or two 5 star players, or on a "so-called" top ten national team, like Bishop Gorman, St Thomas Aquinas, etc. I saw a team from DC area treat MC (supposedly a SF powerhouse) like a middle school team this past season on ESPN; how big a TV draw could that have been?. I think the prospect of having the state championships from one of the country's hotbeds for high school football would be better than an evening of MAC Conference games in the middle of the week, such as Buffalo vs Western Michigan. We'll never know if ESPN would be interested unless the FHSAA takes some initiative.

Some of the games ESPN has featured over the years have been downright terrible.  If there was money to be made featuring the state finals from a state like Texas or Florida and they could pull it off, I am sure they would already be doing it.  ESPN clearly has a certain marketing strategy for showing the hs games they do.

SFA was more loaded than IMG, not surprised they beat Miami Central though I was surprised they did it so handily

 

But while I guess you have a point I just feel like ESPN would be the type of Network to maybe broadcast 2 games and not all of them

Oh they definitely do, I challenge you to pull up a ESPN broadcast and chart down how many times during the broadcast they mention the ESPN 300 or ESPN star rankings during the broadcast, take 5 games from YouTube and feel free to see it

 

It becomes clear pretty quick what ESPN is after with these games, it's always about propping up a prospect or team of prospects because there regularly is much better games on deck that they pass up on

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • 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
