7A States- STA @ Viera

[BrowardHandicapper]

Here at the game ...4 mins to go in 1st qtr and STA playing very conservative but dominating 14-0. Vieira has struggled to move the ball.

[BrowardHandicapper]

Viera trying to open it up a little with a decent drive going..

[BrowardHandicapper]

Scratch that STA with b2b sacks.

[BrowardHandicapper]

TD STA. 21-0 still in 1st. Vieira is having trouble tackling.

[BrowardHandicapper]

STA 28-3 halftime. Viera secondary with a couple of nice INTs which were almost STA tds.

Viera had one drive which was mostly STA penalties. Not sure if Viera is that unfit to be here, or the big game experience has caught up to them.

viera does have talent but they overachieved in the playoffs, they carried the fire after the upset over lakeland to get past us but they were never going to be ready for STA

[DisabledAccount]

too much talent for them to handle

[Terrapin]

Dang lol, was hoping Allen or the big schools would help Viera. But I should have known better,  congrats STA, another state championship under the belt.

7a championship game was last week against Braden River.

[BrowardHandicapper]

Royal Palm Beach and Mater Academy put up a better fight than this

...

7a championship game was last week against Braden River.

That or STA vs. Dwyer. Dwyer and Braden River would easily beat Viera the way they are playing tonight.

I honestly think Viera is just not prepared for the atmosphere . First time here for both coaches and players playing the most experienced big game team in the State. Same thing could happen to Flanagan tomorrow night.

honeslty ik the whole time once we lost that STA was going to win the title, but i knew if i said that people would think i was taking shot at viera, but ik we didnt play our best in the game last week and that STA was going to have more talent then viera and would be more prepared

[Captain Morgan]

STA would have done the same thing to Columbia. Columbia flames out every year, maybe one year they can put it all together but it doesn't seem likely.

[Hwy17]

Anybody besides me miss having Lakeland and Aquinas in the championship every year?

u picked us to lose in 2-3 round, we had running clock both those rounds, so your prediction didnt stick that well

Totally agree with this. Viera is a very opportunistic team. Against both Lakeland and Columbia, they took advantage of the mistakes (many unforced) that those teams made. That isn't saying Viera isn't a very good team, very good teams should do that. I just couldn't see STA giving them those opportunities. And when they did, they just buckled down and didn't let Viera do anything with them.

[DisabledAccount]

im not saying viera wasent talented, they were very much a good football team and had talent, but their wins over lakeland then columbia were because they took advantage of a lot of mistakes by 2 great programs who had a bad day on the field, and they being on hot streak and pulling upset on lakeland allowed them to put every bit of what they had to pull what may have been a even bigger upset by coming into lake city and winning but the hot streak didnt last against STA who played a great game and didnt let it stay close

[Captain Morgan]

7A was a very watered down division,probably the weakest by far of all the classes. Look at STA's possible opponents.

Viera: a 4 loss team that has done what ever?

 

Columbia:Lost to a non playoff Escambia and always flames out

 

Lakeland: Lost to Bartow!!! Ft Meade beat Bartow by 4 Tds

 

I mean look @ Columbia's playoff run

 

Chiles: A 6-5 football team, I saw them on tape. Not very good at all

 

Lincoln: A 5-7 football I saw in person. A cakewalk for an elite team

 

Bartram Trail: 9-4 they basically lost to every playoff team until they got to the 7A playoffs. What's that tell you?

 

Viera: 10-5 football team who like Batram trail lost to every good football team until they reached the 7A playoffs.

 

Not exactly a gauntlet there for the 7A north.

whos your team?

[BrowardHandicapper]

I'm looking forward to Armwood and Central, and Flanagan/ Osceola. Both could be great games. Beautiful weather here in Orlando. A lot nicer than South Florida for football in my opinion.

You at the game? I over here on Central side

[Captain Morgan]

Look, I'm not hating on Columbia. Is anything I posted not true?? 7A was just pretty weak this year.

[DisabledAccount]

u predicted us to lose in 2-3 round, both those rounds we had running clock

[BrowardHandicapper]

You at the game? I over here on Central side

Yes . I'm here with DarterBlue2 and a few other guys from the board. We are all the way up at the 40 yard line line at top on Central side. Come say hello!

[Captain Morgan]

Columbia, you are missing the point. Yes you made it to the semi finals. Good for you guys. You beat a 7 loss Lincoln and a 4 loss Bartram Trail. Then you lost to a 4 loss 5 loss Viera. That's hardly elite!!
