Could more changes be coming to the FHSAA tentative reclassification assignments?

Its so simple regarding class 2A

 

tell the 29 teams they have the option to move up to 3A. If they do not like that option then they can apply to the smaller independent conferences like the Sunshine State Athletic Conference, or the North Florida Conference, or the Gold Coast, or the Southeastern conference. 

 

If they refuse, or dont get accepted, then they play as an FHSAA Independent. 

 

There are plenty of options for the 29 schools. Only a handful of them will be dissatisifed, but who cares? There are over 500 schools. You wont ever be able to please 100 percent of them.

If the argument is that Madison is too big because it isn't "rural" enough, damn... I have driven through Fort White, Lake Butler, and Baldwin. They are all smaller than Madison, so why is this a problem?

I dont think Madison is the problem (while they ARE the most athletic out of all of 1A) I think the most complaints are 2 fold. The first complaint i see is that Ft White, Baldwin, and Union County are all over the 600 student cutoff and by bringing them in at the same time as Madison along with the three schools from south florida Ft Mead, Frost Proof and Pahokee by adding 6 new teams all to the south end of the bracket. The second most complaint i have heard is that while Madison student count is under 600 at this time because of a loss of employment in the area, there is also concern that with the new addition of a very large lumber mill moving into Madison County that there numbers will increase dramatically over the next year . This could mean that by year 2 or 3 Madison student count could be back to where it was at over 700 or more.

 

I dont think (rural enough)  has ever been a real problem but you have to admit their is a difference between Madison and Bell and few others.

    • 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. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
