A lot of blowouts last night. Miami Killian up 49-0 over St. Brendans at half and St. Brenden’s forfeited at half. Could have been just as bad. A smaller program like St. Brendans loses 2-4 kids to transfer. Really hurts. Then Killian brings in like 20 transfers. It’s just not a good scenario.

Yeah There are a lot of PUBLIC schools who load up on transfers, many get more than the private schools that people whine about "recruiting" 

 

Notice though that many of these people have no actual rebuttal to that, just sarcasm

I agree but someone has said ''if you build it they will come.'' Young men want to play for the winning team. it's just how it is now in today's Athletics. Too bad really because they lose fundamentals of winning and losing.

If you lose 91-0 maybe football isn’t for you. No one should try and make excuses. Taravella doesn’t need to playing 11 man varsity football if they are that horrendous at it. That’s the problem. They let anyone play. Teams losing by 50-90 points have no business fielding a team.

The Western coaches are an embarrassment.  They should be called out for running up the score.  

There's a lot of programs in the state that run up the score 

 

Why do they need to get into the 90s to get attention? 

 

Teams like Ed White up here when they were good would run it up and Lee/Riverside started doing it when they got good 

 

 

@nolebull813 here's a project for you, research the last 10 years and show any games where the margin of victory was over 60 points and see what teams have done it the most in that stretch

Garbage. It’s not Western’s responsibility to hold the score down. That’s the job of Taravella’s defense. You shouldn’t be playing football if you can’t handle the job. 
 

 

If Western was playing starters up by 60? Then garbage coaching. If Western was playing 3rd string guys and still scoring? Then that’s on Taravella.

    • Once Bill Galloway moved to Tennessee after the 2003 season, It was a one-man deal with Castle. The assistsants have been a mixed bag, with some quality and much turnover in staff. I do think, despite never fielding teams that would be particularly competitive with the 'Naughts, the rise of the two Christian private schools have cut into Lakeland's program more than may be understood. Many lineman and "locker room" or "glue guys" that the program always had have started playing for Victory or LCS. With them, they took some wealthier, ardent boosters of the program as well. A result is the often weird dynamic of home games where the crowd is pretty large in size, but the resevred spaces around midfield are empty. The folks who would've (and maybe even still do) buy season tickets now send their kids to LCS or Victory, so they are no longer in attendance on Friday nights. This all started in the early 1990s with the opening of George Jenkins High. At the time, there was much controversy around zoning, with many voicing the (perhaps partially racist) concern that LHS would become an "inner city" school. While GJ has never amounted to much in football, the idea itself opened some minds in the very religious city to seek other options. IMO, Victory and LCS should set their egos aside, and agree to field only one team between the two. Invest all the money and time into that one program. And we could see another version of The First Academy, where school staff incessantly claim that Jesus is on their side, that opposition to their program amounts to opposing Jesus etc. There's enough talent in Lakeland to field exactly one nationally elite program.  I think if the privates consolidated, they'd have the best chance at this long-term.
    • In some cases when a really successful program goes through a HC change along with new assistants, it may take a few years before you start seeing things start to chip away.
    • Jesuit is never down.  Not with that talent pipeline in from the youth leagues.
    • I've seen him play in person several times.  He has a cannon.  He definitely would benefit from a good QB coach to work on the decision making though.
    • It could’ve been worse, Pahokee WRs dropped 2 deep passes that would’ve been touchdowns.
