I think those first 3 games should tell us a lot about Vero. They should beat Eau Gallie but it won’t be easy. Traveling to Buchholz should be a challenge. Buchholz’s defensive front is the strength of the team. Vero’s passing attack better be clicking because the Bobcats will be tough to run on. Also, Vero’s OT’s better have a good game because Buchholz’s Edge rushers will cut the QB in half. Cocoa is Cocoa but Brady Hart and some of their offensive stars graduated. Freak show DE Javion Wilson will not be wrecking shop either. Has Cocoa come close to replacing them? That I don’t know.
I'd guess this explains part of it. Click on the individual states to get teacher salaries and rankings. It's pretty depressing.

In addition, and again speculation on my part, but if you go to games around the state of Florida, and go to games in other southern states, the attendance numbers are in another universe. Way more often than not, the attendance for games here will be a thousand or less. Are Florida coaches required to teach a class and receive a stipend for their coaching duties? Do they receive money from booster clubs?
