Wildwood?

im hearing that wildwood is cancelling their 2015 season, its unbelievable how far they have fallen from where they once were, they won a state title in 1964 and 1970 and that 64 title win came against yours truly, but now they are below 500 in enrollment and can barley field a team, it looks like they might be better off not playing football at all if the enrollment keeps dropping, what do you all think?

Wildwood has always had talent but i think the problem is two fold, The first one is they cant keep a coach and the community needs to (buy in) and support the program, second problem is the Villages are killing them taking the students that normally would go to Wildwood. Just so you know 3 of the 4 1A State Champions the last 4 years had an enrollment below 500. Jefferson county 180, Trenton 301 and Port Saint Jo around 400

that may be true but looks like they have fallen off a cliff, they have not been at that level in a while, and they may never become a championship contender again if this keeps up so the question is, is it worth keeping the program going and having sub par results, or deticate more time to other sports and try to preserve the athletic program as a whole

It has to start over with the JV they need to hire a quality young coach that can keep the kids at wildwood until they graduate, Year round weight training even for the JV, Schedule some wins and build some confidence and the kids will want to be apart of it. They have enough kids they are just not interested in being part of a bad team.

that's a time process, and when u have people poaching your talent its hard to do, and the problem has been they cant keep a coach, but for their sakes I hope they figure out a way to save their program, its sad to watch a once very competitive and respectful program fall off like they have

    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
