The toughest district is whatever district that Aquinas is. Dillard is in there too. I only see Lakeland in 7A-5 & Manatee in 7A-11. 

So pretty much you think St. Thomas is a safe bet for 7A title

Bartow had a great season, along with LG, last season. 
Palmetto has been good the last couple years. Bloomingdale the same. 
Both Lakeland & Manatee should be pushed.

I wouldn't lock either Lakeland or Manatee in either of those districts

They are a safe bet but they are most years 

 

Doesn't mean they can't lose but they are tough to beat

 

But subzero justification for it is silly, a district can have a powerhouse and a bunch of sub par teams (not saying that's the case here but I can point to examples of this) but one powerhouse doesn't make a district loaded

STA got a big break with Venice moving up to 8a.  

Venice has beaten them once since 2016, even though Venice may be a top 10 team at this stage, I think it's the other way around as now Venice has a much more manageable path to a Championship

That’s true, & was the only game on their home field vs STA. We’ll find out quick as Venice goes to Traz to meet the Bulls, & the following week the Bulls travel to Ft Laud to meet the Raiders.

MNW isn't playing STA anymore

 

Game fell through

You must not be paying attention to Lake Gibson. There's no way you'd dismiss them outright if you knew anything about them. They are probably a slight favorite to win the district given they have Lakeland at home. Lakeland also plays at Bartow, who is also a playoff caliber team.

Venice looks good on video, but I am very confident they will not win 8A. They do have a good shot at getting to the title game, though.

8a is the most wide open class generally 

 

Is there someone specific that stands out being better?

They lost long time coach, Jack Daniels to Cardinal Newman. They always have good talent.

Here's the way I look at it.   Remember when Tiger Woods was in his prime?  You could either bet on Tiger or the field (i.e., everybody else).  Tiger didn't win every tournament, but if you could only bet on one golfer before the tournament started, most people would bet on Tiger.  

Until STA gets knocked off their throne, I'm guessing most of the people of this board would bet on them over any other team in 7A and likely would bet on STA over the field of all other teams in 7A.

What’s crazy is I really think DiLLARD & STA is gonna split this upcoming season. 

it can be them beating us in the regular season and then we get revenge in the playoffs or vice versa. Either way Dillard vs STA will most def be game of the week.

Dillard isn't subpar. They're pretty good. Like i said, i stand by what i mean. It's isn't silly when STA is a juggernaut, and having them in a district makes things tough when you try to make the playoffs. Excuse me for not mentioning other teams in the other 7A districts when you see the same teams year after year with exception of Bloomingdale.

I didn't say they were in fact that's what this disclaimer means

Dillard is a good team but I remember when STA was in a 3 team district with a subpar Fort Lauderdale and Ely team

 

Is that a GOOD district because of STA? HELL NO

St. Thomas can't or anyone can decides who's in there district and if you have issues go Independent. It's not St. Thomas fault Fort Lauderdale and Blanche Ely were horrible at the time and still are and without transfers I'm sure St. Thomas would beat both of them

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      By Perspective · Posted

      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.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
