Top 25 Rankings


Joshua Wilson

Recommended Posts

i don't know what the heck is going on, but after seeing a different set of Top 25 rankings from a source I won't name, I am in shock.

 

So folks, give me your Top 25. 

 

We will be doing our rankings in-house this year because I feel like they can be done better than what is out there. Please feel free to reach out to me as well.

 

NOTE: I will have more topics of discussion coming as well....

If it's true and Culpepper is in the pits for the season then I feel Plant will drop 4 or 5 spots but not out all together. 

 

 Not sure what they have in the north west panhandle, I have little info on any of those teams. Crestview, Ft. Walton Beach< Pensacola Cath, Niceville, etc...Anything from that area?

 

My indepth knowledge is mostly in 4A. If order of ranking I would have BTW, Cocoa, Bolles, Clewiston and Raines in that order. BTW at the top until they are beaten by another 4A team. DJ made a bold move ranking Cocoa over BTW.

1. Miami Central - No weakness I am aware of.  Should change their name to The Mean Green.

 

2. St. Thomas Aquinas- Junior QB Allen still a question mark to me, but the O-Line is beefed up and will take care of him. Could go undefeated.

 

3.*IMG- Not Florida HS Post Season eligible and they just got better as you were reading this.

 

3.. Flanagan- Good luck scoring on this team. Defense very physical.  Special teams improved. New QB looking to gel with new O-talent could help Dirty Birds soar to Central Florida.

 

4. Daytona Beach Mainland- Another shut down nasty defensive team.  Other then that, the only team that seems to stop them is Miami Central.  

 

5. Booker T. Washington- I know this team is relatively down, but hard to ignore that streak.  Lots of young, talented players looking to prove themselves among the best.

 

6. Dr. Phillips- Return enough talent to get by Apopka this year which says a lot.

 

7. Miami Columbus- Well coached, well oiled, efficient machine as good as anyone in 8A. 

 

8. Cocoa- Don't let the small team roster fool you.  Could this be the year they finally catch BTW?

 

9. Hallandale- Very good team last year and inherited some Miramar talent.  Might have 20 D1 2016/2017 players on the team.  If coaching is solid, might see Orlando.

 

10. West Orange- Will take advantage of Apopka being down and make a run at 8A States.

 

11. Lakeland- Always wondered how a team in Central Florida got the name Dreadnaughts which are also known as a battleship...Will likely go undefeated and look to challenge STA in Orlando.

 

12. Wakulla- Play in the best 3 team District in the USA.  Return almost the whole 2014 team.  This 2015 the War Eagles may visit Mickey Mouse.

 

13. Manatee- Perhaps the FL west coast version of BTW? Down but not out.... I don't see a FL team beating them until late in the 8A Playoffs.

 

14. American Heritage Plantation- I really wanted to put this team in the 20-25 range but know I will hear it for putting them at 14... QB will be a ?, O-line is down, Top WR gone. Very well coached and have a elite Kicker.

 

15. Miramar- Disastrous season last year but time heals...This team will reload and will look to retake the 8A-12 from Flanagan.  You hope they stay injury free with back to back @IMG and 6 days later @ STA!

 

16. Venice- Should squash every Florida team in their way but a soft schedule could leave them unprepared to go deep in 7A Postseason.

 

17. Osceola- Good enough to play with Lakeland but not good enough to score on STA....

 

18. Coconut Creek- Sorry, I drank the Kool Aid...Not because the 7 on 7s. Because of a BCS secondary, a D1 QB, and BCS Wide Out!  Still have room on their schedule if anyone want's to play them...Any takers?

 

19. Deerfield Beach- Got a few players from last year's talented Monarch team.  After they beat Bolles on 9/25 they will gain some respect...

 

20. Apopka- Well coached but lost some talent...Will struggle to defend the 8A Title.

 

21. Delray Beach Atlantic- I originally had Trinity Christian here but after seeing a roster with 8th graders on it I figured I would replace with a very talented 8A team that might win a couple post season games.

 

22. Dwyer- The party goes on till late November with veteran coach Jack Daniels!

 

23. Lake Mary- One of the most consistent winning teams of late in the State. Defense could be a question.

 

24. Oxbridge Academy- No, this is not a pre-school or choir.... After they win @ American Heritage Delray the state will know the ThunderWolves 

 

25. Columbia- Slim chance of  upsetting Apopka early on....  This team could flirt with post-season play.

 

Other teams worth mentioning that almost cracked my top 25:  Armwood, American Heritage Delray, Jacksonville Bolles, Trinity Christian, Oakleaf, Heritage Palm Bay, Glades Central, Carol City, Clewiston, Tampa Plant, Gainesville, Godby, Vero Beach, South Dade

Actually myself even has Cocoa above Booker T. Washington. There are things there are that are telling me that Booker T. Washington is not that team we have been use to the last four years. No way. Cocoa has a question mark or two, but will be the year that all good things must come to an end so to speak.

Broward Handicapper- I appreciate the respect becuase lots of people wont even put us up, but after this season they wont have a choice but to put us up. As for Dwyer they lost some players and Oxbridge is to early to be put up. I still think they can beat Heritage and so can we.

I like Cocoa and Bolles over BTW. BTW  still has some players,but not like before. They have lost some players also. Something is shakey over there.

They had lost and gain a lot.... Only thing I'm worried about is the new/old coach...

I have to say that Clewiston was on a mission last year and if they can keep some of that rampage attitude this year then they will be a team to reckon with. Shoot, Glades Central sound like they are on the warpath. Maybe 4A is gonna be a real show stopper this year. Ain't nuthin for sure when it comes to HS football.

Finnally at least someone has understood,but as much as love typing about my Raiders they got to prove themselves to you all to claim what be longs to them,4A State Championship . B.T.W wont give that championship up easily, if given the opportunity,Cocoa, Bolles, or Walton wont hesitate to take it, and lurk in the shadow is a Clewiston, Raines,and Gulliver prep ready pounce on. Win or lose thats how we like it!

 

We'll be waiting for you all.

 

Next opponent: Lake Worth Trojans

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • 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.
