Heartbreak for Boone

Recommended Posts

Boone lost to Vero Beach last night on a blocked PAT in OT.  Up 28-14 in the second half, Boone allowed Vero to tie the game with less than 2 minutes to play.  Vero's last scoring drive involved a long 4th down conversion.

Boone is a team that knows heartbreak in the playoffs.  On numerous occasions in the past 15 years, Boone has let playoff games slip away.

In 2017, Boone was up 20-7 at Wekiva at the half in the second round of the playoffs, and ended losing 24-20. 

In 2008, Boone was up 17-14 in a 6A state semi at Seminole and allowed Seminole to drive the length of the field and score in the final minute of the game.

In 2006, Boone lost a 6A state semi at Lake Brantley 34-31 when future NFL'er Pat Dimarco made a diving, 18-yard TD catch with one minute left in the game.

    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
