Hotels won't be a problem at The Villages. Just stock up on the multi color pack of bath loofahs. You will find a place to lay your head.  In all seriousness... Stadium capacity would be my biggest concern. You get Vero Vs MNW (I know it isn't possible) and FIU is busting at the seams let alone a 6k capacity stadium. It doesn't make sense. There are at least 8 university stadiums in this state. Probably more. 3 Pro stadiums. Soccer stadiums. Better choices exist.  

Agree with all, and will add.... * This wasn't your Papaw's Chaminade team. I saw that when they played West Boca in the kickoff classic. If West Boca hadn't shot themselves in the foot several times, they could have won that game. Against Newman, their freshman QB played like...a freshman, and IMO that was the difference.  * Bolles Xander Edwards is a LOAD for a sophomore.  * Northwestern kept having to settle for FG against Raines, and it eventually bit them. Hats off to Raines for never giving in.  * How many of those young, talented athletes at West Broward will still be playing for them next year?  * Hats off to Lake Mary for not quitting. Jankowski opened a door for them, and they took advantage of it. 

I Pretty sure 1981 - 1983 4A (which was the largest classification), had just over 100 teams.

You are correct that most states don’t have classifications with 100+ teams.  In fact, the Texas UIL is the only organization which has over 100 teams in its classifications (9- and 10-team districts are not uncommon in Texas).  California comes close, but is difficult to assess because each CIF Section (Southern, San Diego, Sac‑Joaquin, etc.) has its own number of teams and playoff divisions, which vary widely.  Even 80 teams per classification is well above the norm in the United States.  Anyone advocating for 100+ teams per classification in Florida envisions Florida being on the extreme high end among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. 

FL HS Gridiron Report: The Good, Bad, and Ugly – Post-Championship Fan TribunalLive from a dimly lit virtual Zoom panel that's somehow more chaotic than a fourth-quarter fumble recovery, this is your host, Chet "No Bias" Hargrove, bringing you the raw, unfiltered aftermath of last week's FHSAA state title games. We've rounded up a jury of jilted fans from the losing squads – because nothing says 'healing' like venting to strangers online. Remember, folks: these opinions are hotter than a Florida sideline in August, and about as reliable. Let's meet our panel. Chet Hargrove (Reporter): Alright, welcome to the tribunal. We're talking the heartbreaks from Classes 1A through 7A – games that had more plot twists than a bad Netflix thriller. First up, representing the Broward County powerhouse crew from Chaminade-Madonna, who fell 17-14 to Cardinal Newman in a shocking 1A final upset. Dynasty dethroned on a late field goal – that's gotta burn, LaToya?LaToya "Lion Pride" Jenkins (Broward Fan, multitasking with a vape pen and what looks like a late-night snack run, rocking gold chains and a Chaminade hoodie): Chet, baby, that was straight-up highway robbery! Our Lions? Four-time defending champs, straight Hollywood royalty grindin' harder than anybody. We wuz supposed to five-peat easy! But nah, them Newman boys got that Catholic miracle juice – probably prayed extra hard or somethin'. Late field goal? Refs let 'em line up slow on purpose! If we play 'em in the streets, no whistles, Chaminade eats. This loss? It's fuel, Chet. Next year, we roarin' back louder. hic Is my camera on straight? Chet: It's live, LaToya – and that "miracle juice" talk might get us flagged. Dynasty vibes in full denial mode. Next, from Miami-Dade hood crew, Miami Northwestern Bulls, who lost 23-22 to Raines in a gut-wrenching 3A final that came down to the final seconds. Divine comeback or just bad luck, Jamal?Jamal "The Bullhorn" Ramirez (Miami-Dade Fan, sipping something suspiciously brown from a red Solo cup, wearing a faded Northwestern jersey that's seen better decades): Man, Chet, that was robbery part two! Raines got that lucky last-second TD – ball bounced like it was guided by Duval angels or somethin'! Our boys from the hood? Pure heart, warriors in the 305 trenches. We had 'em buried late, then boom, miracle play. Refs? Swallowin' whistles all night! We wuz cheated again! Pass the bottle, this one hurt worse than the last. Hood don't forget! Chet: Easy, Jamal – sounds like divine intervention struck twice this year. Keep it PG; the stream's blowing up. Now, shifting to Polk County pride. Lakeland Dreadnaughts – wait, hold up, folks, Lakeland actually won their class this year? Nah, scratch that – they got shut out again by STA! moving on... Actually, let's hit Duval County's elite private school scene – the Bolles Bulldogs, who got blown out 52-28 by Cardinal Mooney in the 2A final. Straight ass-whupping, no miracles needed. Snobby take incoming, Preston? Preston "Bulldog Baron" Worthington III (Duval Private School Fan, in a polo shirt and khakis, sipping what he claims is "artisanal herbal tea" but his eyes say otherwise, with a backdrop of a yacht club flag): Chet, darling, this is utterly mortifying. Bolles is an institution of excellence – our alumni run boardrooms, not... whatever those Sarasota public programs produce. We clearly underestimated Mooney; one assumes titles are won on pedigree, not some vulgar ground-and-pound. That score? Positively barbaric. Divine? Hardly – more like a lapse in our refined preparation. Financially elite? Absolutely, but it funds superior coaching, not brute force. We'll regroup at the holiday regatta. Donations welcome? sniff This tea hits different tonight. Chet: Whoa, Preston, easy on the elitism – some of us tailgate with coolers, not caterers. LaToya, you hearing this? Your Lions got upset by a private school too – solidarity? LaToya: Preston, honey, at least our loss was close! Y'all got trucked like a rental! Private money don't buy rings every year – karma for actin' superior! Jamal: Yeah, Preston! Y'all think yachts win games? Nah, heart does! Our Northwestern squad fights harder than Bolles ever could. That blowout? Straight embarrassing! Preston: Plebeians, please – this discourse is beneath Bolles standards. We shall endure, as always. More... tea? Chet: And there you have it, folks – the good (the excuses), the bad (the biases), and the ugly (these coping mechanisms). Florida high school football: where dynasties fall, miracles happen, and fans never admit defeat. Tune in next week – if these folks sober up. Chet out.(Panel erupts into chaos: LaToya cackling about "Hollywood magic gone wrong," Jamal ranting "hood robbed again," Preston sighing about "standards slipping," Zoom glitches galore. Fade to black.)
