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

    • 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. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
