You have been pushing this type of solution for a while and I don't have a real problem with any of it other than only one of those classifications is considered a state champ as I don't believe in labeling a losers division winner a state champ. I myself believe in the OPEN DIVISION for the state championship with only 3 other classifications with a Gold, Silver and Bronze division and that would be your championship designation.
Outside of Lakeland and at times Lake Gibson, Lake Wales has historically been one of the best programs consistently in Polk County over the decades. You are correct, we have played them a lot over the years although I am not certain they made up one of the teams in the Ridge Conference you mention but probably did. We played in that conference in the late 50's thru mid 60's before joining the Orange Belt conference that included Apopka, Deland, Longwood, Bishop Moore, Lyman and Lakeview HS (now West Orange). These were bigger schools but I thought the Ridge was tougher overall as it was a trip down Hwy. 27 and included Haines City, Sebring, Avon Park, Fort Meade, Mulberry and Lake Placid. Those little schools seemed to all be tough back then.
I have all these ads in my way. In case you can’t see it, please add your total point prediction with the STA/Chaminade game to be used as a tiebreaker for playoff seeding.
Final week before playoffs. I’ve decided to take the top 10 posters into round 1 and eliminate the bottom 2 each round until we get to the finals with 2 posters remaining. The higher seeds from the regular season will always win the tiebreaker each round. Also if you can please tally up your own score this past week, it would help me out a lot. Thanks
