It'll be a good game, but not as good as it could have been if played in years past.

I agree.. Which I'm happy it finally happening but from 11-15 the games should of been played even with MC...

Well remember in regards with Florida high school football you can only have 15 wins. I think the Bingham game counted because it made 15 wins, otherwise Booker T. Washington would have only had 14 wins. Although, I can't figure out why Central's game against Eastside Catholic didn't count because that would have given them 15 wins as well.

what a game that would be, if I lived in south florida I would deventally come to that game, mabey they will broadcast it on espn, be right up espn's alley to televise a game like that especially considering the fact that Miami vs fort laredale 2 big markets and talent exact type of game espn brodcasts

not downing btw but how many really tough games do they play a year, considering they are in 4A im not saying they would not win but i honestly dont think they have a 40+ win streak in 6A 7A or 8A

Besides the 3 games in district play the other 7 games is oos or 6a and 8a teams they play... So yea I believe they could of still have a 41 game win streak..

Booker T. Washington has and will always be criticized by others. As we speak, the enrollment is at 970 students which places them in 4A. I don't know why but people are always saying that they can't compete with the best of the best which is ludacris and that they should move up in classification. Booker T. Washington has an 6-2 OOS record. Summerville 36-3 2800 enrollment, Cedar Hill 40-21 enrollment 1700, Norcross 55-0 enrollment 3400, Bishop Gorman 28-12 enrollment 1300, Oscar Smith enrollment 57-21 2200 and Tucker enrollment 1800 19-7. Now they did lose to Hamilton enrollment 3600 37-19 and Northside enrollment 1800 31-7. So as you all can see they don't back down from anybody and now 2015-2016 they'll be playing Aquinas. In their district they have 4 schools; Keys Gate Charter, Gulliver Prep, Miami Edison and Pace. Now you add in other games which isn't bad ones's and the enrollments for those school's are 1500 and up. I guess my point that I'm trying to get across is that whoever they play and with how many wins they have people are still going to talk regardless. They can be in 4A or 6A., and mind you all they beat Carol City, Central Jackson and Norland the past 2 years and all of them are in 5A or 6A.

their is more too it then that, if u play a full schedule in 6-8 A you get punished bc those 3 classifications are most physical in state of florida, and the toughest, they would have players on their team getting beat down and injured, so they would not be the same, probley would have championship but they would not be undefeated for this long now I think they would win the state title in those classifications, just that they would not be undefeated.

columbiahighfan what you are saying makes no sense. You are saying they would still have championships but not be undefeated, how so? They play top team in 6A-8A all year, so how wouldn't they be undefeated?. You make it sound like there is some district in 6A-8A that has 5 legit teams in it, which one is that? Now you could argue about the playoffs but honestly outside of 6A Region 4 what other region in the state has 3 teams that could win a state championship in it?

Posted

Yes I agree that anyone can be beaten on any given day but you make it sound like just cause they are in 4A means they don't play anybody but that isn't true. In 4A they have to play Cocoa and Bolles to win a state championship. I agree there district may not be great but name one that is. They play 6A-8A talent every year as well as top teams nationally, so clearly their classification doesn't matter.

Posted

what i was saying is that in those higher classifications they would get beat up bc those classes are full of big, powerful players, so I believe that at some point they would have fallen and I think streak will end soon, bc its hard to keep winning especially when they are losing their coach

Posted

@columbiahighfan now something that makes sense yes losing their coach may make difference especially if the replacement is someone from outside the program... But your arguement makes no sense because they already play top notch teams in the bigger classifications throughout the year and it hasn't beaten them up yet. Just say what you mean that you have no respect for the lower classifications, you seam to forget the beatdown Trinity put on ya'll, and bitter because Columbia doesn't get the respect "you" think they deserve. I wonder how well Columbia would do if they played tougher teams in 7A-8A or heck even played tougher teams from the south?

    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
