Playoff Firsts

8A Palmetto won its first region title ever.  Interestingly, this is the first year Palmetto has ever played in the playoffs outside Miami-Dade county.  Despite playing their first game on 10/30 and losing their starting qb against Dr Phillips in a first round playoff game, Palmetto's D has enabled them to advance.  They have allowed only only 27 points in regulation in their 4 playoff games. 

8A Osceola has never traveled south to play a playoff game, so it will be a first when the Kowboys travel to Miami to play Palmetto in a state semifinal.

Didn’t Palmetto play at Lake Nona two weeks ago and at Treasure Coast last week?

7A Bloomingdale won its first region title ever, in only its second region title game appearance ever.  

7A St Thomas will be playing a playoff game in Hillsborough County for the first time since 2001 when they come to Bloomingdale next week.  STA beat Jefferson in 2001 and 1996. 

7A Edgewater has never traveled west of Tallahassee for a playoff game, so its trip to Niceville next week for a state semifinal will be a first for them.

Edgewater’s first trip to the central time zone and it's to Niceville....yikes...not many places in the state are as hard to play at for opponents than Eagle Stadium. Looking forward to a classic next Friday! The Eagles, the ones from Niceville, would love to return the favor from last year....

5A Rickards won its first region title ever against Baker County.\

5A Dunnellon will attempt to win its first state semi since 1979 when it travels to play Rickards next week.  

5A Gadsden County did something for the first time in 20 years...hold Bolles to 7 points or less in regulation at Bolles' home field.  Only Marianna(2000) and Taylor County (1978) have ever done that.

6A Lake Minneola won its first region title game ever in a rematch of last year's region final, which Gaither won 41-7.

The way they are playing, I think Lake Minneola takes down St. Auggie and makes it to Doak and a date with Miami Central in the finals. The fairy tale probably ends there, but it would be a great accomplishment regardless. On the other side of the bracket, Palmetto gets a rematch against Central. It likely won't be as close as last year, but you never know.

    • 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
