Y'all keep sleeping on GC. The Raiders are gonna bring the 4A State Championship back to the Muck!

Much respect to the Muck, Who are the big games gonna be against? Besides Pahokee.

Much respect for Glades Central and the Muck as a whole. However, I want to see them prove it on the field. I'll wait till December in Orlando to crown GC 4A Champions. If they make it there. 

Could very well be Glades Central vs BTW if Cocoa goes North.

STA,thats fair, but we prefer it to stay it the way it. We dont like losing but love the trill of competition. We're Glades Central! We welcome all Challenges including B.T.W.

speaking of competition, same here, if we are good enough to make it to Orlando in December there is only one team I want to play in that championship and it would be STA bc if we really are good enough to get there I know STA would be the best the 7A south has to offer and if we could find a way past them I would know for a fact that we would have earned it, if not then at least we would know we played the best in the 7A and would be cool to get to play one of top teams in nation in a big game like that which would be much more fullfiling then being knocked out in the first round, and being in Orlando we would have plently of motivation for 2016 season

The muck guys how's the mood in Belle Glades. I know much isn't offered in that area but I remembered when ESPN did that show on the muck bowl it was roughly 15,000 people in attendance. Another instance was when Glades Central played Dwyer and it was ESPN televised and I remember on both instances the community, alumni and students all came out. One guy said every Friday he'd cook for the football team. Winning isn't what it used to be, but do people still go to the games and do they see high hopes in the future. I can tell you in Miami people won't show unless you're winning.

I understand talk is a way of life in FL. For me I never liked talk because everytime I would STA would lose. Examples being Bosco last year and those years we lost to Lakeland in the mid 00s lol. 

I'd love to play GC again though. I don't think we have ever beaten you guys, if we have it was a while ago.

Looks like you will have to go through Clewiston, BTW, and Cocoa to get to Bolles for the championship. There are some bangers on those teams. Bolles ain't soft either. Corky is getting old and will it show in December?

Let me say this about Booker T. Washington. Everyone is saying they won't be the same this year which I understand why, however there district is easy. If the Tornadoes win streak end this year I still see them making it to states and winning. St. Thomas, Central and Columbus will be the 3 biggest opponents.

I never said they wouldn't win state, I just said they wouldn't finish 15-0, STA and Central are very talented and BTW is not as strong as past years, and a new coach, will all come into play and end the streak, florida talent is just too good for a streak like that to continue

    • 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.”
