St. Frances Academy ( 7-1 ) Lost only to STA 38-23 in Ft. Lauderdale this season

IMG ( 9-0 ) In 2019 IMG lost to St. Frances 35-7 in Baltimore

St. Frances' football program has become the subject of controversy within Maryland in the late 2010s. After former Gilman School coach Biff Poggi took over as head coach, he began aggressively recruiting talented players from inside and outside Maryland, to a greater degree than other private schools in the state did. Within a few seasons St. Frances became effectively unbeatable by their traditional opponents in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA), regularly defeating them by wide margins.[10]

Before 2018 those teams told St. Frances they would no longer play them, citing safety concerns as many of St. Frances' recruits were well outside the typical height and weight range for high school players and more in line with college football teams

The team won the MIAA championship before the season even started since all those opponents had to forfeit their games, but scheduled intra squad scrimmages, opponents from as far away as Canada, and road trips to the South for the players' benefit.

IMG will have their hands full to say the least. Being played Friday at 7 PM. Wonder if ESPN will cover it or whether it will be aired on You Tube.

This was the last team to beat IMG. Since then, IMG has won 20 in a row. Should be a good game. 24-17 IMG

IMG's starting QB A J Duffy will be out. A Freshman QB will start. IMO Duffy has not been all that great the entire season and the reason for a few close games that they had,  so possibly it may not be that bad for IMG. They still have two top RB's Allen and Gage, a very good OL, and WR's that can catch anything. Plus their DF is lights out most of the time.

Is the game being live-streamed anywhere?

Normally you can go on You Tube and sometimes the game will be available. Or possibly on IMG's Facebook page. I'm still hoping that ESPN will carry it as it may be the biggest HS game in the nation on Friday.

Trinity Catholic a good team. Why you stuck on a college high school team. Img can beat colleges.

Thanks for the link!  I am looking forward to watching this game.  (And, of course, watching the Trinity Catholic game, too... lol)

Not so sure about the Celtics. IMO they have struggled this season on both sides of the ball. They will be playing a PK Yonge team, in the 2nd round of the playoffs, that is totally different than in years past when they couldn't beg, borrow, or steal a win. This PK Yonge team seems to be pretty darn good. They have a Sr QB that has thrown for over 1600 yards and RBs and WRs that get the job done. If Trinity does not turn in a good performance then PK Yonge will defeat them.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
