Looked like this was a rough weekend for some big names. 

American Heritage 41 Venice 26 

Cardinal Gibbons 17 STA 10 (these guys need to play more often)

Jones 31  Edgewater 13

Did I miss any? A weekend that makes High School Football great!

 

And just for full disclosure Lakeland got it's butt kicked again Bloomingdale 39 LHS 14

 Literally not one of these games is considered an upset.

An upset would imply that an inferior team beat a superior team. There is no evidence to support this at the moment. 

I tend to think of an "upset" as when the underdog team (especially a double-digit points underdog) beats the favored team.  To my knowledge, there are no odds-makers for Florida high school sports.   The closest thing would be Joe Pinko's.  For what it's worth, Pinko's had STA "favored" by 3 and Edgewater favored by 6.  Those spreads are close enough that I would not really call either the win by Cardinal Gibbons or the win by Jones an upset.  Venice, on the other hand, was favored by 17.   So, I think you could safely call that one an upset -- assuming your willing to accept the Pinko's "line." 

Pinko's is still running a little higher than 80% correct in terms of predicting the winner.   Power ranking differential (which, I believe, translates to the projected point difference -- or what we think of as a point spread) is going to be particularly difficult this year because of Covid.    Depending on quarantine rules, the players that take the field one week for a particular team may be quite different than the players who take the field for the same team a week or two later.

    • 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.
