Bloomingdale-Tech finish

The last 3-4 minutes of that game will go down in history, unreal. I'm short on time, so can't go into great detail. But, let's just cover the last two plays: Bloomingdale, down 33-30, has a single-digit number of seconds remaining. QB scrambles, hits a big pass down to the ~4 yard-line with a second left. B-dale lines up to kick the game tying FG. Tech jumps offsides. Ball goes to the 2. B-Dale suddenly shifts into a swinging gate-type formation. Direct snaps it to an upback, who plunges over for the walk-off, game-winning TD! Wow!

I posted a year or two ago about B-dale being on the rise.  Very proud!!!  WOW!!!

Do they have a shot at St. Thomas since they get them at home?

I posted this before the Venice game so I'll repost:

Bloomingdale has as good of a chance as anyone going up against a STA. They must limit mistakes, execute the fundamentals and don't let the Raiders alter your game plan. Dare I say, smash 'em in the mouth early and often to let them know you ain't scared. Most teams lose against STA before they hit the field.

Sincerely,

Watching STA-Venice last night, I do think Bloomingdale has a shot. I have a hunch it may look a lot like the Edgewater game last year.

To answer my own question, I have to agree with @skyway. Bloomingdale does have a shot. St. Thomas looked slightly worse than last year's team, at least against Venice. Venice threw a pick six when they were first and goal at the 4, and passed on kicking field goals twice when they were inside the St. Thomas 15. On film, Bloomingdale looks a bit more athletic than Venice. So, in my opinion, it comes down to whether they can execute their plays effectively. If Bloomingdale can play mistake free football, they can, indeed, beat this St. Thomas team at home. 

BTW, I think a Bloomdale/Edgewater final would be an extremely competitive matchup. I would like to see this game, but realize that both teams have formidable opponents they must overcome to get there.

I'd like to see Bdale and Niceville. Would be a very off-brand but fresh title game.

Niceville is going to have trouble matching up with Edgewater. Had the Bobcats beaten Niceville, I would have given them a better shot. The only way I see Niceville winning this Friday is if the long drive has a significant negative impact on the Edgewater team. It helps that they have decided to make the trip Thursday afternoon and not Friday morning.

In my honest opinion, I think STA beats Bloomingdale by 14 at least. I don't think Bloomingdale will be strong enough to win the battle in the trenches for 4 quarters. The only chance they have of winning is creating turnovers. If they don't force any turnovers, they lose hands down. This STA team is what they used to be but they are still capable of scoring early, often, and capitalizing off turnovers. Bloomingdale will have to play mistake-free football to advance.

B-Dale, to have a shot, has to force some turnovers. STA is too talented on both sides for B-Dale to think they will match them score for score or stop for stop. They will need at least 3 turnovers to have a shot and have to play mistake free. Tall task.

This sounds like the prediction of every team that has played ST Thomas in the playoffs the last 10 years. LOl So little changes, but the occasional upset does happen!

I say this because Bloomingdale is smallish. a few years ago they were huge. But now they are smallish and scrappy. Teams like that generally cannot beat St Thomas unless they have several breaks.

    • 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.
