I know so little about PF, but know nuff bout Jesuit. Ditto MI & Central. TBT has a good defense & fire power on O. Played a pretty tough schedule. I think Titans have the best chance for an upset (20%?). 

Yeah these games it's impossible to pick bc it will be massive blowouts. 3 national teams vs 3 okay teams.

I'm going to go with Pine Forest, primarily because I know little about them and figure they may be better than any of us realize. But I don't give them much of a chance.

TBT's win over Lake Gibson was diminished some when I realized after the fact that LG played without Jevonte McClendon. He was a key part of their secondary, and could have made the difference in stopping the QB runs for TBT. LG also was without McClendon vs. Lowndes, which was the only other game LG got run on consistently. They had McClendon for both Lakeland games and Edgewater. IMO, the best Tech can do is what Edgewater did the last couple of years: lose but be competitive in the process.

Merrit Island is terribly outmanned and has no business being on the field with Central.

TBT has the best chance. They have Edgewater 2109 and 2020 talent. But I fear that Edgewater had better coaching and they did not get over the hump despite giving STA several moments of serious concern. 

I have watched Pine Forest on video twice, including the Jones game. They are solid, but at best (and I stress at best) no better than MNW which was, frankly, outmanned by Jesuit. So, I don't give them much chance. 

Merritt Island is a solid team, but like Lake Minneola last year will likely be just outmanned.

LOL, I should have said equivalent talent. 

I'm serious please look at 2019 madison county they have games on YouTube.  And hudl talent wise they matchup with anyone in Florida except img academy. I understand that madison did not play Lincoln or Niceville who gave Edgewater everything.  But they beat crestview who beat Lincoln badly and lost to Niceville close.  Lakewood almost beat booker t Washington that season.  Madison lost to lakewood in over time. Crestview head coach said madison was second best team they played.  Madison was loaded big on the offensive line and deep at running back. 2 great recivers and a very great defense.  2019 madison was very special.  42 points per game. Best offensive team in Florida.

That'll never be broken as long as the running clock rules are what they are. Just about impossible to reach that point total against a varsity opponent under Florida's rules.

If they give up enough points so as to avoid a running clock- as Central did with Escambia until late 4th quarter- perhaps. I don't see Merritt Island scoring enough to avoid the running clock by the 3rd quarter.

Yeah probably

i watched pine forest in the regional final against mosley. they are a physical team but lack having any high end talent and are very one dimensional on offense. the quality of their schedule is much weaker than what jesuit has played. i  was surprised they beat jones but that only happened because jones couldnt convert an extra point in the last minute. I expect jesuit to win easy.

I love that a team from my city made it back to state but I don't see Pine Forest winning. I'll be happy if it's close and I think their defense keeps it respectable (within 21). I have a hard time believing the offense will be able to move the chains consistently against a bigger, disciplined defense. I'd have a lil more faith in them if they could throw the ball but it is indeed a one dimensional offense.

It turned out Pine Forest had the best chance. After they struggled to beat Jones, I did not think they had a shot at undefeated Jesuit. Little did I know they were going to give them a huge scare.

    • 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. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
