7A States- STA @ Viera

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

 

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.

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

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.

    • Dillard - I'm not sure that hiring a HS football coach is the same as bringing a student on board the team. I think that any school can hire any football coach that they want any time they want. They can even hire a football coach that is currently coaching at another school. Where did you find that it's illegal? 
    • IMO the FHSAA should simply return to the previous rules that if a student transfers from one school district to another they would be allowed to in accordance with Florida law. However, that student could only transfer for academic reasons and would have to remain out of sports for the first full season of that particular sport. As I understand it, when the Florida Legislature passed the law that allowed students to transfer anywhere and at anytime they had academics in mind. It was a law that allowed students to transfer from a poor performing school academically to a good performing school academically and not for the explicit purpose of playing a game. I wonder if the Florida Legislature fully understands what happens when students are allowed to transfer explicitly for sports and how some of those transfers seriously disturb the natural flow of events with the sports team of those schools. To make matters worse they are now proposing that some high school students, that just happen to be good at playing a game, be paid for their participation. Truly amazing.
    • In the words of Chris Rainey... 
    • Independent contractors....   What will go wrong with this?
    • I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
