Do the South Florida teams get a stipend when they qualify for state to have to take that tough journey? 

South Florida teams make up at least half the participants every year, and they didnt ask for the game to be 8-9 hours away. 

I really hope the higher ups at the FHSAA do right by them and give the money to the schools to help with travel instead of buying the 40 foot yacht. Lol. They can settle for the 35 footer. Everyone has to sacrifice.

They will get something. There is a formula the FHSAA has based upon travel and costs they have to submit to them. Not sure exactly what it is. 

And no one I know there has a 40 foot yacht... come on man.

This was a solution for this year so they didn't have to turn people away. This makes sense. 

i know. its actually pretty cool. Love Doak. Love Tally. Lived their for 2 years. Die hard Noles fan my whole life. At least someone will be winning there this year. LMAO

Based on my 30 seconds of in-depth Internet research, it appears that Doak Campbell has a natural grass field.   The FHSAA has scheduled EIGHT games over four days.   Two high school football games a day for four consecutive days.  They had better hope that it doesn't rain in Tallahassee any of those days (or the day or two leading up to the games).  In my humble opinion, there's no way that a natural grass field can stand up to that many games being played in that short of a time period -- especially if the field gets muddy.   But even without the rain or the mud, that field is going to get chopped up pretty badly over those four days. 

I'm putting it out here right now:  generally speaking, I have a great deal of respect for the FHSAA and what they try to accomplish (especially when the Florida legislature ties their hands behind their back).   That said, I just don't see how you can reconcile "8 games over 4 days" with "player safety comes first."  It looks to me like the FH$AA is simply trying to balance its budget.

Fortunately It does not rain in Tallahassee at this time of year, Perspective.  If it ever did, they might have to call a game played there the Soak at Doak, or something like that, because it would be a real mess..

    • The question i have is & im being serious when I ask this ; what is the difference between northwestern & the first academy.    because the first academy got hit with one of the harshest punishments ive seen recently for doing basically the same thing. Paying for uber rides & other incentives to the players in need & for a lot of the transfers that transferred to TFA but didn’t have transportation to & from.    & there was NO out cry. Matter fact everyone said TFA got what they deserved. But in MNW case it’s all hell broke loose. Is it because who the head coach is ? Or is it because teddy explained what all the money he spent was for ? …….
    • If we keepin it real. Before last year northwestern was known by name, and last history but, their product on the field was avg at best. Their last title was in 2019 & after that they had a 1 or 2 4-6 or 5-5 seasons after.    & most will say they only won the championship last year because outside of central who had to forfeit 3A and the teams that’s in it is HORRENDOUS.    teddy becoming the head coach of the west single handily had transfers legal and illegal coming in left and right because he’s a former/active nfl player & lets face it in 2025 the kids love to follow the hype.    having a face like teddy on the sidelines automatically guarantee that entire team all types of connects, endorsements, exposure & etc. 
    • Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away. 
    • Sure, but going about it this way will bring more attention to the absurdity of it all. Teddy is going to be just fine given his finances and reputation. The average high school coach who occasionally spends his own money like that, couldn't overcome getting caught helping.  If coaches REALLY wanted to bring about change, they'd have large email chat groups and decide to all come out together, at once, and proclaim that they, too, sometimes dip into their own pocket to help cover expenses. I suppose the schools and/or FHSAA could always cancel the season so as to administer punishments to all the guilty coaches for their generosity.  tl;dr: JUST SAY NO TO COMMUNISM. 
    • Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH.    You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard
