Aquinas and Mainland nationally ranked


STARaiders2014

Recommended Posts

MaxPreps in their way too early poll has Aquinas at 16, and Mainland at 19. Aquinas has another great squad coming back in 2015 with a state championship coach in Harriot filling the void left by Rocco.

Mainland was one game away from the 6A title game losing to Miami Central. I'm really interested to see how they do this season. Central will be strong again and has a great shot to 4peat in class 6A.

Will be interesting to see where these two teams end up at the end of 2015.

probley I just hope that it isent armwood vs central for like the 5th straight time, but don't know of many teams in north florida in the 6A that can stand against them serval teams from north florida including yours truly are not 6A anymore leaves a huge void in that region

I agree I know both teams are great, but I'd love to see another matchup in the 6A title game

2012 had Columbia and gainsville as top 2 teams in north florida, too bad we fell against Navarre bc it would have been interesting for that 2012 Columbia team against Miami central, probley be a better overall game then these recent armwood vs central games but instead gainsville went and got beaten up

I don't see anyone in the north florida region of 6A that would beat central: gansiville hasnet been the same team since 2012, armwood may be good but are mainly getting there bc of a average opponents overall, ed white may get some reguar season numbers but they have never made it past the third round, and I don't know if the panhandle are fully equipped to win a state title, so not a lot of contenders in the north, unless saint Augustine can get back to their old self

Do you all think Booker T. Washington can beat Aquinas and Central or one or the other.

Yes Booker T can beat both, but will they is the question. Obviously even though Harriott is a proven winner there are still some questions with him being in Year 1 at Aquinas. However, Aquinas can also beat BTW too. The game being at Aquinas is a big help to the Raiders. 

As for Central I think that will be a very tough game, but BTW can win that one just as much as they can lose it. Aquinas, BTW, and Central are three very evenly matched teams this season.

I'm going with the F-5 Tornadoes by 3. I know they lost some talent but with the pieces they have coming back and the transfers they should be a real contender again. If Booker T. Washington doesn't win the game I still see them making it back to states now Bolles will probably be awaiting them, but then again do we really wanna see a 5 year in a row match-up between the two.

This is just my opinion being that I'm not from the area but I feel that First Coast plays everyone that's of a weak caliber. On year they went 10-0 then lost in the 1st round of the playoffs and the one year they went to states Manatee blew them out 40-0.

well a lot of those teams aren't really good but they dominate them, they look a lot like ed white has the past few years but first coast has more talent across the board then ed white, but considering our struggles to stop ed white past 2 seasons, im a little nervous with first coast, but we have them week 10 and its going to be senior night and in tiger stadium, so mabey that could play a factor for us

    • 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
