And to answer ya question the last time dillard hoisted a trophy was in 2020 during the covid year. 

I respect yo take on this bro. I'll say this, one thing bout dillard playing st thomas Aquinas is nothing new. Hell in the 80s and 90s st thomas had to go thru dillard to get where they want to go. Fast forward to the 2000s dillard has played a couple of close games against the raiders while they were top 10 in the nation. Along with playing the likes of chaminade & Miami Central while nationally ranked.  As a program the mystic of a team or as you said their resume cant put fear in yo heart or have you doubting what you have on the other side. If it does you already lost the game before you take the field.  St thomas is who they're which is why the get the respect they rightfully deserve. But on sep 10th at dillard under them lights. The st thomas mystic, their 7 consecutive championships, none of that is gonna matter. What's gonna matter is the team thats better prepared, make the most plays & makes the least amount of mistakes, thats whose gonna win that matchup. Again right now on paper and at their practices dillard is huge, look the part and have talent all over the field. How will all of that come together cine August & will it translate to the field ? That's what we will have to wait and see. But win lose or draw ima always be 10 toes down wit dem panthers. The regular season is just the battle. In the postseason is where is counts & playing to national powerhouses at home in st thomas and st peters prep out of new Jersey is most definitely gonna prepare dillard for the post season.

No response to my latest post I see MarkECannon! 

According to Josh’s list Lakeland is hosting the Battle at the Bryant Jamboree the day after their game with West Broward.  Buchholz and Port Charlotte are the other participants that day.  Are the Dreadnaughts double dipping?
