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.

      2025 SSAA Teams & Schedule Questions

      By Hwy17 · Posted

      Can't count on FHSAA to do what's right or makes sense so we have to look elsewhere.  I'm still learning about SSAA and I still have questions concerning their bylaws. It's a growing league and I think it will soon surpass FHSAA in membership.

      Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions

      I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion.

      KICKOFF Classics must see games

      By i4football · Posted

      Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles

      Considering Going to a Game at Key West High?

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
