The FHSAA is incompetent. That's why. 

I'll leave it to others that actually deal with the FHSAA to evaluate their competence. As for schedules, the individual schools should be responsible for posting their updated schedules on their Twitter and Facebook pages if they want to keep their fans informed.

Our KOC on 8/20 is with Lake Nona and will be there to see how our new look offense will execute.  The entire defense is literally intact from last year so don't expect them to be anything but better as they were very young but good in 20202.  Top early game is @ Cocoa on 9/3.

One game you won't be going to for KOC in central FL is Evans vs Jones.  First Covid cancellation, but neither coaches or AD's allowed to speak to the media to elaborate.  Just saw this reported on our local news.

Must of been Evans. Jones replaced the game with Gadsden County.

Evans has Covid cases on their team. Quarantine time doesn't allow them enough time after coming back to practice in pads. Is this just the first of many this season?

We will probably have another disrupted season. At this point, Covid-19 is worse in several areas of the state than it was last year this time. I don't see the season being cancelled. But I do see many games being cancelled. Hopefully, Covid-19 peaks by the end of the month and most games get played.

Mt Dora has about a half dozen players in quarantine, but the rest of their team is able to practice for the time being. A month ago, things were looking up in Central Florida for HS football and I was looking forward to attending all my grandson's games this season, but things could get sketchy with the virus heating up. By some minor miracle and the decision to put the football team in a "bubble" last year, they were able to play all their games uninterrupted last season; I'll have to keep the fingers crossed for this season because there won't be a bubble this school year. There are a bunch of real good 8A teams in Central Florida this year and the games should be exciting; I'd hate to games cancelled or attendance reduced to a minimum.

On another topic: According to today's Orlando Sentinel, Timber Creek just lost their stud 6'5", 320# OT, a kid with over 35 scholarship offers; his dad took a job in Texas and the family is moving there next week. That's a legitimate transfer and will be a severe blow to Timber Creek's offense. I wish the kid well in his new home.

As usual, Darter is right with Edgewater just announcing no practice till 08/23 due to Covid.  Think it will be a rocky month for football.

Bartram vs. Lee (Riverside High) will be the game that I go to.  Haven't been to The Backyard in about 30 years.... 

The field is always quite rough there. I wonder if BT will play Weatherly at QB or what they’ll do.

I wish I was wrong, but, sadly, facts are facts. I just hope this thing does not linger into mid or late September. 

It probably will be a rocky month for the game. I just hope it does not disrupt team's chances of making a deep run in the playoffs.

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      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.

      Officially 13 left First Baptist.  Golden Gate, even after the return of Coach Bigica, lost 6 to other schools. The two biggest gainers were St John Neumann (11) and Community School (9)
