Andrew Thomas to Dixie County https://www.wcjb.com/2025/12/05/dixie-county-hires-andrew-thomas-head-football-coach-after-controversial-firing/

Thank you for the great analysis of the team, MarkECannon. 

You have single-handedly made an argument for performance based classes. 

As I’ve posted a few times I saw them play Monarch in the 2nd round.  I can’t answer if they have done things right or not.  Don’t really know the dynamics of the program. What I can say they have plenty of talent all over the field.  They seem to be playing with house money so they are having a great time.  They upset a veteran Southridge team the next week then a Buchholz team that struggled offensively when their starting QB was hurt in the 1st quarter.  They have one of the top sophomores in the country, Amir Sears, who plays DB/WR.  He is a game changer.  The QB does a good job getting the ball to the right receivers.  #14 is very good at receiver but the others are too.  The defense likes to attack.  They pretty much stuffed a decent Monarch offense that had a good senior QB with 2 D1 receivers.  I keep telling everyone they are dangerous.  I don’t think they will fear West Boca.  They are practically neighbors.

No public schools made it past the second round in 1A.  It's completely unfair for a small public school to have to play in the same class as private schools.  This got me wondering why they couldn't drop to Rural class?  What's the difference/requirement for Rural classification?
