Oh I'm not saying they ducked. I'm just putting out what was said. They wanted Cocoa to come back down for a 3rd year in a row instead of making a return trip to Cocoa. Cocoa wasn't going for that. Seemed like it was going to be how the Venice series was set up with Cocoa making 2 trips and getting a home game
What's their district looking like? Looks like they replaced Cocoa with Bishop Moore. Sounds like they were in talks to play again but STA wanted the game at STA for the 3rd year in a row.
If Rockledge keeps their interim coach as the HC after spring they will keep the players they have and continue to get more. They will be a very solid team that will eventually challenge Cocoa as the top in Brevard in a few seasons. Eau Gallie will be scrappy for sure but they did lose key players transferring out and brought in a couple as well. I could see them losing a few games
“Knowing that we are committing [rules] violations and nothing is being done set off alarms for me."
Quote from the former (as of a week or so ago) baseball coach at the high school in question (in the article at the beginning of this thread). Admittedly, he was not one of the football coaches, but between he and his wife (who was the principal of the school), they seemed to have a lot of insider information. Note also, that he uses the word "we," referring to the school he was coaching.
Do I have any direct knowledge of cheating? Nope. But when I see this much smoke, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is some fire burning in there somewhere.
