How bout them Bloodhounds!!!

[Jullian]

Auburndale unbeaten. 4-0. Nice win last week vs Bartow. Yes the other 3 teams they’ve beaten are somewhat pedestrian.......I like to celebrate teams with good seasons out of the top 30!!!!

First 4-0 start for A-dale since 2014.  With the Bloodhounds taking on Gateway for homecoming, the Hounds have a great shot to go 5-0 for the first time since before I started keeping records almost 25 years ago.

Gateway has struggled the past few years more than usual with the opening of our newest HS, Toho which took a chunk of their available players.  They will present no issue for Auburndale, so they will definitely go 5-0 with a good chance of even 6-0 with their next opponent Winter Haven who is having a bit of a down year themselves.  Big resistance is the following week against Lake Gibson and they will be fired up for that game.

Do you have game result history for any of those teams?

Plus I am a bit biased as they bleed Blue& Gold like us.

I got you!  Standby by man.

[Nulli Secundus]

After going back and actually looking at all the seasons, 2014 was not the last time Auburndale started 4-0.  It was actually 2019.  My eyes must have been tired.  Anyway, their 3 losses were to Winter Haven and twice to Lake Gibson.

Thanks for that. I think Auburndale has been playing football since 1924

That's a long time and Auburndale fans should be thrilled to know Laz Index has them favored tomorrow by 46.

Forecast for the Gateway game was spot on as it was a laugher, but last night Bloodhounds squeezed by Winter Haven for a 6-0 start.  Things will get a lot more interesting/difficult for the next three weeks, so anxious to see how they navigate that part of their schedule.

Yes.  It appeared that Winter Haven had control for most of the game.  However, Auburndale was able to pull out the win and that's all that matters.

Winter Haven's 0-6 record can be a bit deceiving with their overall schedule which include the likes of Lakeland,  Lake Gibson, Edgewater, Sebring among others.  If they don't get discouraged that should help them get better week to week, so see how that plays out for them the rest of the way.

Of course a lot depends on how they rally around the interim coach. Between that schedule and having the coach resign in the middle of the season, it's been a rough Fall for WH.

I hadn't heard the story or seen the video.  Here's an article that probably sums it all up:  https://www.theledger.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2021/09/29/winter-havens-tate-resigns-head-football-coach/5923528001/

Looks a little like a 1950's mentality in a 2020's school setting. 

Honestly, in watching that video, I couldn't really tell if the coach's hands went up around the kid's neck.  If they did, that's a big no-no.   If the coach had kept his hands down on the kid's body, perhaps he would have a good argument that he was simply trying to deescalate the situation by moving the two kids apart from one another.  Yeah, I know the current rules probably say "no physical contact/touching at all unless you are defending yourself," but I guarantee you that everyone on this board understands that coaches make some physical contact with kids on a daily basis (drills, hugs, separating kids about to go at one another, etc.).   It's all about the context.   Looks like his past history is coming back to haunt him a little, as well. 

This makes me wonder:  what did people get away with before everyone had a phone with a camera?  (Yes, I know this could open up a can of worms for a much bigger conversation, but I'd prefer not to go down that road right now).

Props to Auburndale on another big step getting to 7-0 with a tough win against Lake Wales tonight.   Probably favored next week again before an extremely tough game against Lake Gibson.  Fans must be ecstatic.

LG vs A-dale should be a great game.

Bloodhounds are at home, not favored but I think it will be a very competitive game.  Playing for a perfect season so lots of motivation with not many if any on this forum have picked them.  Pulling for them to get the win.

I'll take Lake Gibson, 35-17.

So is almost everyone, no surprises there as this is definitely Auburndale's toughest test.

Mosely faced that “Undefeated” season pressure last week & lost to a tough seasoned Gadsden County team. Keeping an undefeated season adds to “simply winning”, plus gives Xtra incentive to the opposing team! Keystone Heights is in the same position, playing an improved PK Yonge squad. Indians schedule is almost embarrassing. Good luck to the Bloodhounds! 

[Nulli Secundus]

I'm already proud of A-dale but seeing them go 10-0 would make my season.  Go Bloodhounds!!!
