How did the officials blow the call?   Oh, and my autograph is on its way.

(Channeling my inner Jambun this time).

I saw it on the highlights of the game. I think he was referring to what looked like a tipped pass that was intercepted and "caught" by a Venice defender, and didn't look like it was possessed, but the referee ruled that play a touchdown for Venice. The defender who made the play seemed surprised that the play was ruled an interception for a touchdown.

That would have been a decent question for him to ask, rather than are you watching??

Why can't you move on from that? How was I to know that you were watching the game?

I thought I was clear that the better team won.  That said, if the halftime score was 14-7 Apopka would have at least been within striking distance although it would have been an uphill battle without a doubt.  Going down 21-7 meant they had to abandon the run game which if you even watched Apopka during the regular season they tend to look sluggish then break off a 50 yard run and score.  Even the announcers labeled it a "Back Breaker" knowing Apopka's MO, so yes I did watch the game and so I stand by that description.  My other opinion that differs from yours is that there are more than 3 teams that can hang with Venice.  I thought this forum was designed to express one's views.  You did yours and I did mine, so we can respectfully disagree.

You should absolutely feel free to express your views and I apologize if I was harsh. Regarding Cocoa, Gibbons and Jesuit: I excluded those 3 teams based on their performance in the playoffs, specifically the championship game. I'm sure I don't need to explain why Jesuit limping to the finish line against nationally unranked Pine Forest does not inspire confidence. And the Cocoa/Gibbons game - which I gladly paid the $9.99 expecting to see the game of the weekend - was such a disappointment. Closely contested? Yes. Played at a high level? Not even close. Thought I was watching a JV game. Both of those teams had close games with Venice earlier in the season. But I don't think either of them could stay within 2 touchdowns if they played Venice now. Just my opinion. That's why I think there are 4 elite FL teams right now: Miami Central, Aquinas, Chaminade, Venice.

Although Jesuit suffered some bad scares in that game against Pine Forest, I never truly believed that the Tigers were going to lose. They played some sloppy defense, especially late, but I still believe they are deserving of “elite” status in Florida because they went undefeated with a strong schedule and had a really solid win over Northwestern. I will just say this, I am glad Venice didn’t have to play Jesuit in the post season this year. All of the state championship winners I thought were deserving of their titles.

So if Wellington thinks cocoa jv what is chaminade bc American heritage has been handing them loss every time.  American was working central the whole game.  If American went undefeated everyone would say they the best. Well they wasn't to far off on the scoreboard.  And I don't like them at all .

Thanks for that, but still not convinced or agree.

Jesse, one game does not define an entire season. I've been reading your posts and I understand why you keep pushing this narrative of "Madison beat FSU High which beat Trinity Christian which beat American Heritage which beat Chaminade"...which means that if the stars were aligned perfectly then Madison would beat Chaminade. I'm not saying it's impossible...just highly unlikely. Just like the the Chaminade/Berkeley game. Tons of respect for Berkeley, but they were outclassed and were not going to win that game. Same goes for Madison/Chaminade, Madison/Venice, etc.  And considering that Madison barely got past Hawthorne I would expect a little humility on your part rather than casting Madison in with the elite teams in Florida. But maybe it's just me.

They had a bad game on offense. Plus championship so nerves kicked in. Madison was elite in 2019 they almost beat lakewood. And they beat Clearwater academy who is a mini img academy.  They would have bullied chaminade then . Please the game on YouTube type in Madison vs Clearwater academy.

Madison 3 star lineman and starting running back did not play against Clearwater and still dropped 42 points. That lineman was 6'5 300. And I promise would handle anyone that season big facts check dude hudl zane herring
