State Champions, not just a South Florida thing!

Recommended Posts

It was good to see team champions from Jacksonville, Madison, Venice, Tampa, Ft Laud, Hollywood, & Miami. 
Crib boy said everything runs through Miami-Dade but actually they were in 7 classifications & were eliminated in all but 1 class. Jesuit beat down the 305 & beat 954. Hillsborough had 3 terrific teams in the finals! Pine Forrest went under the radar & out played Jesuit, but didn’t outscore them. Venice made Apopka look outmanned with their strictly run offense. Gibbons & Cocoa was a tremendous game. Chaminade ended the season as good as any team in the State. Aquinas smothered TBT early. Rockets, Dade’s only champion were exceptional! Whata great season....it simply goes by too fast.

What gets me is that while I RESPECT the rockets & their current success but to say they’re the king of Florida & the representative of Florida as a whole when they didn’t even win their first state title until 2010. 
 

so pretty much it took creating all star team after all star team to become a national force.. (GOT IT) & even then more times then not they were embarrassed nationally. 
 

but as long as they recruit & get 20+ transfers & bully your way to a state title almost every year while verbally belittling any other team good, great or bad I guess is what rocket football is all about.

But that’s no different than most teams that were in the finals.  That’s how u get there these days. Don’t forget either that Coach Roland is one of the best coaches in the state. He’s gets the talent then utilizes it.

You do know more than half the schools in Florida have to raise money for rings, buses, accommodations before away games, uniforms and equipment right?

sir you are a hater. ik why you hate cent but damn, them ppl do not get 20 transfers a year. this was year by far an outlier of past years. cent was chasing a natty. but you are lying to yourself. central been good, they just never had a ring til 2010 & the year before that they lost by a couple points against a really good miramar team & year before that they lost to a very good northwestern team. tell broward to get better so yall can stop with these excuses.

    • “Knowing that we are committing [rules] violations and nothing is being done set off alarms for me." Quote from the former (as of a week or so ago) baseball coach at the high school in question (in the article at the beginning of this thread).   Admittedly, he was not one of the football coaches, but between he and his wife (who was the principal of the school), they seemed to have a lot of insider information.  Note also, that he uses the word "we," referring to the school he was coaching.  Do I have any direct knowledge of cheating?   Nope.   But when I see this much smoke, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is some fire burning in there somewhere. 
    • For example if Class 1 has 20 teams eligible to move up, but class 2 only has 15 teams eligible to move down then all 15 move down, and the 15 teams in class 1 with the highest winning percentage would move up. 
    • You could even bump teams up and down based on winning percentage.   After 2 years, teams with a .750 or higher would have to move up a class with the cap still being 125 teams per class. Teams with the highest winning percentage above .750 would move up first and so on.    Same with winning percentages of .250 or worse. They would move down with the worst percentages moving down first 
    • If you cut the classes to 4, that’s 125 teams each class. 500 teams. The rest are independent SSAC teams etc.    125 teams divided into 16 districts is 7-8 teams per district. No issue. Travel and scheduling would be easy breezy. Most games would be local and keep the rivalries fresh.    Playoffs would be an animal. The districts would be so big, and the classes so small that it would be highly unlikely that a garbage team makes the playoffs. Maybe one here or there but nothing like it is now.    Classify by enrollment. Maybe multiply privates by 1.5.    Let’s figure it out
