Rockledge gets a nice break going up to Region 2, away from American Heritage & Central, down south. 
 

at first blush Dunnelon & Bishop Moore are their competition in Reg 2. 

They also catch a break with Jones HS moving up to 6A.

They just might make it to the Semifinals. Would have to play a perfect game against AHP or Central

They’re in the North this year. If they win they would play AHD or Central in the final. 

That definitely benefits them. Theres a good chance that both Rockledge and Cocoa could make it to the finals. Definitely semifinals if neither has any slip ups

surely, rockledge surely has the better chance of making it to the finals. Cocoas road is way too hectic imo. Rockledge though stands no chance against Central or Heritage sorry to say. 

They are both in the Northside of the bracket so they wouldn't play Broward or Dade team respectively until the finals. Cocoa just has to get past Bolles.

I heard the county screwed them out of an out of state experience saying no county teams can leave the state. 
 

But then they let Merritt Island travel up to Georgia to get pummeled. Shaking my damn head 

 

Could you divulge the team they were gonna play? Honestly I'm not surprised. Its not the first time the county has said no to certain teams playing OOS.

Makes sense why they are still looking for a game.

It was an assistant coach for Rockledge. He didn’t have the names in front of him at the time but he was pretty upset when the county AD told them they couldn’t do it.

Yea it seems like they deny Rockledge and Cocoa alot while allowing other teams in the county to play OOS. Even after they previously played OOS away and were all scheduled to play OOS the previous season as well.

Love when county AD’s do things like that. Take away opportunities that the kids have earned (with hard work, fundraising, and previous success) and potential lifelong memories so that they can feel powerful. Total joke. 
 

Thankfully the county AD’s here in NEFL are nowhere near as powerful as many in Central Florida are.

    • 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.
