Jones V Edgewater


EagleEye

Recommended Posts

With Jones barley scraping by in their last 2 games by 1 point on each and Edgewater coming back on a last second fumble after being out for 2 weeks. I'm going Edgewater to win with at least 25 penalties total game given the "ego" of both teams. If Edge gets some good practice in to fix passing and their awareness I'd give em 12 on Jones. Don't know if it's just the false sense of security from the Apopka game or just Wekiva being on top of it but I'm still wondering how Jones went into OT on their senior night against now 1-3 Wekiva.

Jones is about 80% of what they were a year ago. If Edgewater is as good as they were when they beat Jones last year, I expect a 14 point win or even more.

I agree; Edgewater should win by 2-3 TDs.

Yes, Jones's biggest drop off is its defensive line. Last year, Apopka literally could not run the ball on them and had to throw it (something they hardly do) to get any offensive yards. This year, Apopka moved the ball with relative ease and were it not for fumbles (one of which was clearly unforced), Jones would have lost this year's game. 

Edgewater has many more offensive weapons than Apopka and I would be surprised if they don't score at least 30 on Jones. I only see Jones scoring a maximum of 14-17 points on Edgewater.

I just hope the game is played. You never know till Wednesday or Thursday if some teams pass their Covid-19 tests in Orange County. The only Central Florida matchup I would like to see more than this game would be Edgewater - Seminole, but that's not on the schedule this year. As for Jones - Edgewater, I think Edgewater is deeper in talent that could determine outcome late in game. Also, Edgewater's coaching staff is excellent.

EagleEye, could you clarify what you mean when you state that the "ego' of both teams will lead to at least 25 penalties in the game? Thank you.

I can't answer for EagleEye, but the following comments may lend some perspective.

Last year's game was attended by over 4,000 fans and was played with a lot of emotional intensity.  Edgewater shares a boundary with Jones, among other schools, and there tends to be a lot of emotional intensity between the schools as the game (when scheduled) is played for bragging rights. Over the last 20 years or so, when Jones was down, several Jones kids have appeared on Edgewater rosters.

I agree; this is a local rivalry game between two teams that play a very physical game of football. Expect emotions to run high and penalties should be plentiful. These kids know each other well and bragging rights will add to the intensity. I still expect Edgewater will win this based upon greater depth and talent. Next year could be entirely different as kids tend to drift between schools in Orlando as local supremacy shifts back and forth. Recruiting has destroyed the balance we used to have in Central Florida.

Partially, but not to the same extent it has in Dade country and to a lesser extent, Broward country. There, probably a total of a half dozen schools sop up just about all the talent. It has led to multiple state titles for: St Thomas, Chaminade, American Heritage, Northwestern, Central and Booker T. Washington. However, as a result, the rest of these counties' teams tend to be mediocre, with a few exceptions such as Columbus and Western (recently). The Orlando area still has talent spread out among more teams.

The popularity of 7v7 has increased the contact between the players, especially on the all-star teams that have been created. Just as players in the NBA have been trying to assemble super teams, these high schoolers are working at the same goal. A team I follow is much improved this season as the result of almost 10 transfers, with almost all performing important starting roles. The transfer rule has made this possible.

No doubt there is some stacking of teams in metro Orlando. But even with that, it is not as bad as down south. There it is totally out of hand and has been even before the era of open enrollment. That is because, coaches openly recruit the kids from the pee wee leagues. There are literally no guard rails. The population density which is greater than in Orlando makes it easy even if the kid has no reliable transportation.

Though I will say at least SFL is more transparent with transfers, up here in North and Central FL many counties the transfers are never reported by the media, for example a team up here like Lee probably gets similar transfers to what STA would get in a normal year but most people wouldn't know that as the media up in Jacksonville never cover transfers so it would seem from outside that they are all homegrown talent but a lot of stuff happens behind closed doors in jacksonville only for the media to look the other way

Very true. The same applies to Orlando. But if you follow the game carefully, you know. In the Orlando area, it is not always active recruiting. Some programs tend to sell themselves.

There is also active recruiting year round in Orlando area. It gets real heavy during the 7v7 winter season when the areas top skill position players are on display at tournaments each weekend.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • 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.
