In that context I agree with you. The issue with some of the inner city schools is stability with coaching staffs, and the lack of relationship with the youth leagues. In Florida, the coaches ability to attract talent makes all the difference. Edgewater and Jones weren’t always powers in Orlando. They hit home run hires with coaches that know the landscape.    it seems like Dillard is assembling a first rate coaching staff that will pay dividends by keeping the current kids from leaving, and will attract other players from sinking ships. I know Dillard alumni is second to none. And that helps a lot having a tight knit community to invest in the program.  Dillard seems to be trending up. That’s probably why they are rewarding the fans, coaches and players with a top notch schedule.    exciting times to be a Panther!!!!!!!!!!
