I am a HS football nut. Has not mattered where we live, I simply follow and root for the home team. 5 months ago we moved to Venice from Arizona. I went to Miami for the KOC against Northwestern last week. I really don't know too much about the lay of the land here as of yet.

That said, Venice is off this week. I have a serious need to be at a game. Any suggestions on a game I should go to this week? I would rather keep the drive to an hour or less if I can.

Best game of the week in Florida will be battle of the Saints as in St. Thomas vs St. Frances in Ft. Lauderdale. I believe it is being played at Brian Piccolo stadium.

If an hour or less is the cutoff, then you may want to go watch Charlotte, Manatee or one of the teams from Fort Myers play. If you are more flexible on distance, then see @Cat_Scratchsuggestion. Another flexible suggestion would be to come to the Orlando area and watch Sarasota Riverview (from your neck of the woods) take on the defending 8A State champion, Sanford Seminole. This game could be an attractive one. However, the drive would be a bit more than 2 hours.

If it has to be in the area then you have Riverdale vs Ft Myers, Charlotte vs Island Coast and Baron Collier vs Sarasota 

Thats a really weak area for football. It’s Venice, Palmetto, and Manatee and that’s it. 
 

Lee County has never won a football title. Sarasota only has 2 total. So you definitely can’t be picky when looking for a game

Good game is Gulliver Prep @ Bradenton Manatee.

Hello Mike E, welcome to this message board. What part of Arizona did you reside in, and which teams/schools did you attend games of mostly? Also, did you notice anything about the officiating in Arizona High School Football? Thank you. and we look forward to your point-of-view.

Thanks all for the feedback!  I think I will end up at Manatee v Gulliver Prep.  I saw Manatee in the spring game and they had an absolute bowling ball at running back. Gulliver is ranked top 100 by Maxpreps.  Should be entertaining.  

Enjoy!

I seem to recall that Sanford is hosting Sarasota Riverview.   Had it been the other way around, that's the game I would have recommended (because the drive would be an hour less). 

Since he's living in Venice, it would have been a good chance to scout a potential State Title opponent.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      It would weed out the bad teams that are not championship material. The cream would rise to the top. So once the the teams ranked in the 400’s and 500’s were gone after the first round like they should be, it would start to get to the point only good teams are left. The last couple rounds would be the best of the best. One true state champion.    Watering down the classes and letting teams who normally would have no business winning a title advance further than they should is like letting a toddler hold a fake steering wheel and pretend he’s driving. It’s not real. And it doesn’t prepare the kids for real life. It makes them think they are better than they really are.

      Buy Azithromycin Online Treat Certain Bacterial Infections

      By Bruce Parker · Posted

      Buy Azithromycin Online is a handy antibiotic you can buy online to treat specific bacterial infections. It’s great for things like respiratory infections (think coughs and sore throats), skin infections, ear infections, and even some sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia. One cool thing about it is that you usually only need to take it for a short time, usually around five days. Just remember, it’s super important to take the full course even if you start feeling better before it’s done. This helps make sure the infection is completely gone and doesn’t come back stronger. Like with any medication, there can be side effects, like upset stomach or diarrhea, so it’s always good to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you have any health conditions or are taking other meds. Overall, Azithromycin can be an effective and convenient option for treating bacterial infections when used correctly.

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.
