Thank you for another great report JDHoss. You are my selection for FloridaHSFootball poster of the year. I also support the idea of the FIT Tournament.
I don’t live far from SW VA. Went to some 1A region 4 games last year. Not a lot of money. And no athletes. Lol. But the kids play hard. Especially since they all play 2-way. And they are good kids. You can tell the communities down in SWVA raise them right!
But Miami has always had more population than Pensacola and the panhandle in general, but the panhandle used to DOG WALK the Southern part of the state back in the 80’s and early 90’s.
If you look at the title winners from 1980-1995 it’s eye popping how many panhandle and north FL teams have titles. And Miami/Broward had more population the entire time.
the main difference now is the football players in the South are just better.
