I want to hear it from the posters who you feel should be Top 10 for each of the following classes - 8A, 7A, 6A, & 5A; and for Top 5 for each of the following classes - 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A.

 

I am in the middle of doing some more research on teams and I like to see what you all are feeling and hearing. I will be making a final decision as to who is ranked where in each class for the preseason. Post away or if you don't have an account, the sign up button is above.

Interesting...you think BTW is above Bolles now? Just curious behind the reasoning. Glades Central could be in the low end mix. I think Clewiston is certainly in the mix as well.

I am just trying to figure out this fascination with Gulliver Prep... Got good kids and things like that, but how about actually stop playing second fiddle to Booker T. then some might take them a little bit more seriously (i.e. I am saying they need to to beat Booker T. and this would be the year to do it).

Gulliver Prep has a good running back and couple of key players coming back. When Gulliver Prep played Glades Central last season playoffs we stop their running back but they put a good fight.

 

I understand that, but they are going to need more than just put a good fight. Walton stand a better chance at beating Bolles right now than Gulliver Prep will against the three knowns of Region IV at the moment. If they come out of the gate swinging then all bets are off.

This is how i see 1A Pre Season


 


 


1-Madison has to be #1 but if Trenton can get through the first 2 rounds i think we can get them in the semi final


2- Trenton District 7... Loaded Loaded Loaded on both sides of the ball with huge fast linemen on both sides, The best defensive back end we have ever had.


3- Panhandle team Port saint Joe Defending State Champs are loaded as well  


4- Dixie County District 7 will be very good and could upset Trenton as the game is in Dixie. 


5- Fort Mead Miners - New team to 1A moved down from 3A Always have talent and strong coaching 


6-Fort White, Same as Fort Mead 


7-Frost Proof 


8-Pahokee always has talent 


9-Panhandle team North View 2012 State Champs 


10-Union County 


 


Here are a few teams to watch that may climb in to the polls during the season


Dont sleep on Hamilton County State Runner up last year lost a lot to graduation and breaking in a new coach. Fast and athletic big play waiting to happen.   


Williston District 7- New coach. If he can get the talent to come out and grind they should be very competitive.


Newberry District 7- 2 D1 studs on that team but have under achieved the last 2 seasons


 


This is just my opinion ( so no one should get there panties in a bunch) and i am sure things will change when the season starts.

8A Preseason

 

1. 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

5. 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.

 

6. 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!

 

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

 

8. 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...

 

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

 

10. Delray Beach Atlantic- First year in 8A but roster has plenty of talent and some post season experience.  Good enough to win a couple games in the playoffs.

Good but I'd put pahokee at #5, #7 Fort meade ,and #10 frostproof. Right now ill put them in the top 5. Pahokee in a whole diffrent league than Fort Mead or frostproof. If the devils get better, it wont be fair. I see them in a collision course with Madison County.

Yea, but good to keep an eye on them though we may have to play them again, but FIRST. LAKE WORTH!

 Sounds good to me i have really not kept up with the teams from the south end the last 4 years because they where not in 1A. I really don't know that much about them other than they have very successful programs, Believe me when i say that NO ONE in districts 5,6,7 is taking any of those teams lightly especially Pahokee!!!!.

Just a question maybe you could answer for me a few of where talking about the possibility of having to travel to Pahokee for playoff game can you give me any incite on what to expect as far as lodging and restaurants in or near Pahokee. Also our fans travel well and most are a very vocal bunch how do you think we will be received.

fort white in top 10, lol I wonder if that's why they moved down, probley to try and win a playoff game, but idc if they win 1A or not, they still are not on our level and never will be until they can beat us but mabey if they win 1A that would give both sides a reason to play each other in spring game

    • The dude has no idea what the rules are and how things work. Its common sense that If a school can hire a volunteer coach, then they can also fire or suspend a volunteer coach. Now it makes complete sense why he self-incriminated himself by posting a message that included fhsaa rules infractions. I mean c'mon man. 
    • TFA was doing way more than just a few slap on the wrist actions.  They are recruiting around the state and haven't stopped.  MNW probably has an outcry because a coach did it out of the kindness of his heart and love for the kids.  Hard to look at that in the same way as TFA which is all business and gives zeros shits about their kids. To be fair, TFA kids give zero shits about their school as it is a mutual business decision.  However, rules are rules and Teddy broke the rules so consequences are due no matter the intent.
    • I know "communism" is a common scare word brought up in the political world just to easily dismiss any ideas of a shared revenue concept.  In the world of sports, uncapped spending creates a great divide in competitiveness and hurts the sport overall.  If we didn't have any type of distributed money from the government, only a few schools could afford to field a team.  Football is incredibly expensive compared to other sports.  The big programs do in fact have a huge budget advantage over the field despite the shared revenue anyway.  The solution to this is actually to do whatever other states are doing to fund their programs.  Georgia coaches make serious money and coaching is a legit career there.  How do they afford it while Florida sucks ass?
    • The question i have is & im being serious when I ask this ; what is the difference between northwestern & the first academy.    because the first academy got hit with one of the harshest punishments ive seen recently for doing basically the same thing. Paying for uber rides & other incentives to the players in need & for a lot of the transfers that transferred to TFA but didn’t have transportation to & from.    & there was NO out cry. Matter fact everyone said TFA got what they deserved. But in MNW case it’s all hell broke loose. Is it because who the head coach is ? Or is it because teddy explained what all the money he spent was for ? …….
    • If we keepin it real. Before last year northwestern was known by name, and last history but, their product on the field was avg at best. Their last title was in 2019 & after that they had a 1 or 2 4-6 or 5-5 seasons after.    & most will say they only won the championship last year because outside of central who had to forfeit 3A and the teams that’s in it is HORRENDOUS.    teddy becoming the head coach of the west single handily had transfers legal and illegal coming in left and right because he’s a former/active nfl player & lets face it in 2025 the kids love to follow the hype.    having a face like teddy on the sidelines automatically guarantee that entire team all types of connects, endorsements, exposure & etc.
