NFHS is a site where you pay about $11 per game. For those that have used it how is the quality? Is it professional or like a fan using his cell phone? Looks as though this is the only way that most of us are going to be able to watch the games this season. Have no idea how limiting the crowd to family members and a few others only does anything to mitigate this virus. :rolleyes:

Winter Park HS plays in Showalter Field, a stadium that can easily allow for several thousand fans at a football game. Orange County (Orlando) is limiting attendance to only 2 persons per player; there are no cheerleaders or band members allowed. That means there will be about 200 fans at each game. The latest move by the Orange County School Board is to require every player to be tested for the virus before they can play in a game each week. If a player refuses the test, he cannot play. If a player tests positive, and everyone knows there have been problems with false positives, he cannot re-test at his parents' expense; he has to quarantine for two weeks. The head of the OCSB admitted she didn't want football played this Fall; this has become a political football with Orange County politicians, the OCSB, and the teachers union playing politics with high school football teams as the pawns.

The possibility of a false-positive test result, and the inability to do anything about it, is a problem.  

That said, I'm going to cut all school administrators and school districts a little slack when it comes to restricting who can and who cannot attend a game this season.

Just heard that both my grandsons tested negative and are eligible to play tomorrow; good news, that and Winter Park is a 44 point favorite according to Pinkos.

    • Bayside went up to play Lowndes and lost 50-0 and 69-0 in back to back years for $25,000 total. I think that’s why so many garbage FL teams play good GA teams. 
    • And did he “beg”? Or did he simply ask one sentence and see if anyone can help with fundraising? Every single team we have been apart of from 4 years old to high school has fund raised. I don’t remember begging anyone for money. But I guess I’m not a millionaire who coaches a transfer factory. Lol. 
    • ALL programs in the state of Florida would love to have more money, and really need more. Teddy happens to have enough name recognition and reach- including wealthy current and former NFL players- that he may well succeed in getting money. Whether he succeeds or not, he's calling attention to the problem. (Of course, if the number of schools investing in football programs was sharply reduced, and all of the money which has been spread thin among poor programs was consolidated towards a smaller number of super programs, those super programs would be financed much more effectively.)
    • Could be for kids out of the zone who attend the school who are in a family situation that makes it extremely difficulty to attend practices, school, games etc all the time. Could be a single parent who works 2 jobs who has a kid transfer to MNW in hopes that the exposure could earn him a scholarship. We have no idea unless it’s explained. Ubers are expensive as hell. More than taxis used to be. My son’s school is 8 miles from our house. He needed a ride one day for football practice so we looked up Uber and they wanted $40!!
    • I don't know why this state is so far behind every other state football powers regarding coaching salaries and financial support?  More evidence is Teddy having to use $14k of his own money last year.  On a side note, isn't paying for uber rides an impermissible benefit?  I mean if you didn't recruit kids out of your area, they wouldn't need those rides anyway Teddy...  but I digress.  https://www.the-sun.com/sport/14663753/teddy-bridgewater-miami-northwestern-donations/#:~:text=The free agent quarterback Bridgewater,team%2C the Miami Northwestern Bulls.&text=Bridgewater made a long plea,by the school through donations.
