The better team won. Apopka had a very good season riding its defense. Our offense was not explosive enough to match up with Venice. 

You guys had a damn good season. Hold your heads up high and keep your chins up. The Darters played their hearts out today. It’s just hard to play 4 quarters against Venice’s defensive line. Apopka will be back with a vengeance next year. Assuming both schools stay in 8A classification, I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see a rematch next season. Give it your all!!

We will be young next year. So, unless a lot of work is done over the summer, Apopka may have an average season. For Apopka that means maybe getting to the second round of the playoffs.

Both teams should both be back in 8A next year. The FHSAA only switches districts and classifications up in odd years, I believe.

What is wrong in my statement? 

I believe he is referring to the fact that football will be reclassified for next season, per the FHSAA.  This was a unanimous decision made by the board in light of world events.  Is it possible that both Venice and Apopka will be in 8A?  ABSOLUTELY!  However, there's also a chance one or both could be in a different class once the new population report is released and reclassification begins.

We'll see.  As long as the FHSAA doesn't reduce the number of classes or the Cowboys get pushed out because of the rising number smaller schools that will meet the future criteria for the smallest class, Madison's big seat at the children's table is safe. :D

If the classes get reduced,  most 1A schools will leave fhsaa.

Therein lies part of the problem as conditional membership is a joke.  Don't want to compete, get rid of football or leave the association completely in all sports.  

Nah

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      By Perspective · Posted

      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.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
