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. 

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
