We lost some studs on defense, so that will be a wait and see.  Shawn Simeon graduated, the #2 runner in the state, but we have a few young bucks that  are willing to step up.  This transfer portal is nuts, we have almost 60 kids in Collier that have changed schools.  We lost 4, 2 of them would have been starters.  Lely picked up a bunch and now arguable have the best QB (Brady Quinn) and RB {Nino Joseph) in the area.  There offense was great last year and is only better now.  If they can solidy that porous defense, they will be tough to beat.  It took a Herculean effort to beat Port Charlotte last year and they look loaded again this year.  I am hoping we can go 7-3.  Getting back to the regional finals wil be a tall order.

Hey NHSBOB, What is your early prognosis for the Golden Eagles this season?

Sarasota Riverview @ Port Charlotte Riverview gonna get boat raced

Niceville vs Bay Choctaw vs Milton  Navarre vs Pensacola  Mosley vs South Walton  Fort Walton Beach vs Blountstown  Northview vs Baker  Graceville vs FAMU Wewahitchka vs Aucilla Christian  Branford vs Dixie County  Bell vs Oak Hall  Trenton vs Fort White  North Bay Haven vs Joshua Christian 

I know we already have a thread about “Must See” classic games, but can we compile a list of all the preseason games?  They should not appear on MaxPreps (although a few do list them there).  I know a few in SW Florida Aubrey Rogers @ Cape Coral Barron Collier @ Cooper City Riverdale @ Dunbar Gulf Coast @ Naples Immokalee @ South Ft. Myers Oasis @ Palmetto Ridge Sarasota Riverview @ Port Charlotte
