Much respect for Coach Allen.

A lot of people are being forced to make hard decisions around Covid-19. You have to put your family's safety first, I commend the coach. 

 

 

Definitely and I'll add something to this that I know from being a volunteer at Football for 3 years 

 

This man is a workaholic big time, he goes to church Sunday morning then goes Sunday afternoon up to the fieldhouse and encourages any player who wants to show up to go watch film 

 

I know this wasn't an easy decision but one thing he has preached since day one of being coach is family, both his family at home and his family at that Football field 

 

He went to bat for his Football family and got the county to push back Football while every bordering county was starting August 24th and he made it clear he was gonna make a stand for his players and protect them because he is looking out for them and doesn't want to risk losing anyone else after columbia already had an assistant coach pass away around a month ago from this virus and he doesn't want to risk that happening to any other coaches or any players and right now he is looking after his family and is standing by the very principles he has taught these kids every single day he is out there 

 

It's one thing to preach something in a locker room before a game, it's another to live by it in your daily life 

 

He definitely lives by what he preaches to the players and puts in a lot of time to help these players even after the season with getting to college which he has done at a higher rate than any previous coach at Columbia has done

So, are you number 42 or number 53?  :D

 

All joking aside, I give the coach credit for making a tough decision.   I'm sure he has preached to his team how important family is.  With this decision, he showed his players that he is willing to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

A little too literal

 

..........

Bingo!

      Schedule Release Progress as of July 2nd

      By LAZ · Posted

      Made a second pass through Maxpreps for all 576 (11-man teams). Yes, it takes a while.  Here's what I've come up with through this morning: 265 Schedules are complete (assumes 10 game regular season beginning either Week 0 for SSAA or Week 1 for everyone else, unless out of state opponent. 311 Schedules have problems. Here's the breakdown: 218 schedules reflect less than 10 games 88 schedules are impacted by conflicts. ie. Team having more than one opponent on the same day- or- scheduled opponent has more than one opponent on that day. 5 teams have 11 games scheduled. Seems like there's a lot of information to be gathered and rectified over the next few weeks.

      KICKOFF Classics must see games

      Went to both the Lakeland contest against Woodham and then the Saturday mid-day title game against Southridge the next week. Lakeland had no answer for the superior Woodham team speed on defense in the semi-final game. The next week title contest saw a opening KR for a TD by Woodham's Kerry Watkins to set the tone for this game. Felt Southridge was the more physical team, particularly with its running game. Each time however it appeared that Southridge was about to get back into a position to maybe take a lead, Woodham would find a way to re-establish its lead on the score board. Going up for that game led me, to learning about a super Soph across town at Ecsambia HS....as Escambia was playing ST Pete high thay night for the 3A state title. Woodham and Escambia would oddly enough both play for state titles the next year as well in Bradenton against Manatee and Southeast.

      I agree with you on the Norland upset. I think the whole state of Florida knew Norland was going to win and convincingly. People in Miami were like who's Berkeley Prep or atleast I was thinking that. I don't know when Norland will ever get back to states in my opinion.

      Biggest upset in Florida finals history. I would put Berkeley Prep over Norland second

      Haha. Second-best win in Bartow history. I was present for the top win in their history, on a cold afternoon in Daytona Beach in 1996
