South Sumter big over trinity catholic.  

Considering that Trinity Catholic hasn't played a game this season what makes you think that South Sumter will defeat them big time? Do you know anything about Trinity Catholic, their players, and their coaches? The Celtics defeated South Sumter last season at South Sumter even though the Celtics were no where near the quality team they are today. I'm not saying that you are wrong or that South Sumter won't defeat the Celtics. South Sumter is always a quality team and are very tough to a player. We will have our hands full on Friday. Just curious why you are so sure that South Sumter will get the win especially since the game will be played at Celtic Field. I would assume since they came close to beating Madison that would be a reason. However, they struggled against 1A Wildwood the week before.

Sandalwood’s coaching is what holds them back from being a perennial state title contender 

Most people in North Florida know this but some out there think they know more about the area than people who are actually in North Florida

 

Columbia made it to the final 4 in 2015 with maybe 1/3rd the D1 talent that sandalwood has every year and yet people say we are poorly coached 

 

Funny how Sandalwood gets a free pass but Columbia doesn't even though Columbia has actually been moderately successful in the postseason this decade making it past the first round 7 times since 2011 while I'm having a hard time remembering how many playoff wins in total Sandalwood had in that stretch

Never said madison.  I said they were holding back against south Sumter 

Again you literally making my point clear. What sense does it make for Madison to hold back in a game no matter who it is. In this case you said they held back against South Sumter.

They is dude. They not central Florida they south. Look it up 

Since when has Cocoa been considered South Florida? That's news to me and I'm from Cocoa. Brevard County is considered Central Florida. Orlando is directly west of central Brevard and Tampa is directly west of south Brevard. Tell me this what is the distance between Miami and Jacksonville from Cocoa? Takes less time to get to Jacksonville. I know from experience

The only time that we played Pensacola Catholic, other than last year, was in 2010 when be defeated them in the 3rd round 21-14 and then won the championship. Went 14-0. Pensacola Catholic is always a tough team and well coached. Wildwood scored 30 on South Sumter. I think the only time we played Madison was in 2011 in the 3rd round. Madison defeated us 14-0 but their offense never scored against our defense. One score was a fumble recovery the other was a botched on side kick.

The stars were aligned for Columbia in 2015. There wasn't a strong team in quadrant one, just a few solid teams.  It's too bad that Columbia couldn't find a way to squeak one out against Viera though. STA likely would have hung a 70 piece on your Tigers.

Not our problem but it's funny it became weak when we won it but before the season people predicted we would finish maybe 3rd in our district and go 5-5

 

Besides our region ain't much different from what sandalwood normally has and they can't even make the playoffs

Let me try to explain what I think Jesse is thinking:

The name of the city of Cocoa comes from the word "coconut."  Coconuts, in turn, come from palm trees.  Palm trees are typically found in places like Palm Beach County and the city of West Palm Beach, which are both down next to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, which we all know are in south Florida.   Therefore, we must ignore the fact that Cocoa is on about the same latitude line as Orlando (which means it's north of Tampa), and come to the indisputable conclusion that Cocoa is in south Florida.  Got it?  B)

Thank you, Perspective.  Now it explains why Brevard County businesses have been tanking so badly.  They have been marketing themselves as central FL businesses when, in reality, their customers are located in south FL.  This is tragic.

I would say Oakleaf and Sandalwood were the two most talented teams in the area last year and neither could make the playoffs. It’s clearly coaching. 
 

Columbia has enough talent on a year in year out basis to compete for a final four appearance, occasionally they have enough to win a state title. Whether they do it or not is up to a couple of factors, one of which is coaching

Exactly, OldSchool!  Jesse's been driving up and down I-95 from Miami to Ft. Pierce and can't seem to find a single Brevard County store that's open for business.  Tragic indeed.

    • 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.
