SubZero 31 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 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. THIS_IS_DILLARD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only see Lakeland in 7A-5 & Manatee in 7A-11. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,697 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 As for the question I'll go with district 5 That Polk district looks very good at this stage and could have two potential top 25 teams come preseason IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only see Lakeland in 7A-5 & Manatee in 7A-11. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do have a good shot at getting to the title game, though. Jullian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perspective 794 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 14 hours ago, FBGUY1989 said: So pretty much you think St. Thomas is a safe bet for 7A title 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. KeemD321 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
