Is a team in 8A north that no one is talking about. While their schedule is not the toughest out there, I believe they are undefeated and a couple of their wins have been eye opening. 

An important date looms on the horizon for them as they take on Cocoa at Cocoa this week. Should they keep this game close, or if they could pull off the upset, I believe that more attention will be paid to them going into the playoffs.

Historically, they have had some decent, but not great teams. Could this be the year they make some noise?

Been following them. Yes unbeaten. Univ OC, was undefeated as well(weak sched), & Hawks put the beating on em. Interesting game vs Cocoa.

I didn't know they were 8A. I was thinking they were 7A. That'll make 6 8A teams Cocoa has played. 

Spruce Creek is undefeated and played Rockledge in either the spring. Rockledge won but Spruce Creek ran all over Rockledge with their starting running back. I forgot his name but he put up big time numbers. If they have a good passing attack they will be able to make some plays against Cocoa. They make break a few runs but those gaps will close quickly against Cocoa's speed and hard hitting defense.

The Cocoa Tigers have played, perhaps, the toughest schedule in the state, at least for a smaller school. No one will ever accuse them of not being battle tested come the playoffs!

My greatest hope is that they are not too banged up or if so, they have enough depth to compensate.

It is an interesting game. Lots of very good to great games statewide this upcoming week. If I were not going to either the Lake Mary/Seminole or Osceola/West Orange game, I would have seriously considered making the drive to Cocoa.

3 more games to make it through. Biggest game remaining is against Rockledge. Basically a bye week round one of the playoffs. Gotta make it to the semis and make it past Bolles. Then whoever makes it from the south in the Finals. Who I'm assuming will be Gulliver Prep or Cardinal Gibbons.

Would be great for it to be a rematch of the semis from last season.

You could always catch Cocoa at Lake Mineola next week

I may consider that. I don't think Lake Minneola is playing well enough to hang with Cocoa this season. They have had a strange season. Could be that they lack depth and that has hurt them.

I wouldn’t count out Lakewood from the south, esp if they get Region 4 visiting them.

Well with RPI being different this year it's possible cocoa could get a team from the south in final 4

Wait so the brackets aren't split between north and south anymore?

Free movement has helped alleviate their "achilles heel" ...... athletes.

Head coach Andy Price lead Warner Christian to the finals three times. He's a good one.

Price does more with what he has then most. He's still not loaded (my bad)........Thanks "Space Coast Daily" for the free live look, when it was working.... :)     Go Tigers, win another title.

Spruce Creek has come a long way. If they cut down on penalties and caught a little better they may have beat Cocoa in the first half. Man that Kick returner is really good. Cocoa had to kick away from him. If I remember correctly he ran back everyone that came to him 60 or 70 yards. He has Great field vision and decent speed. I did leave at half, had to go back to work. Cocoa is very balanced with the passing and run game. Like what I see every time I watch Cocoa play.

Cocoa has Lake Minneola and Rockledge left. Rockledge just lost to Merritt Island.

    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • 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.
