*Lake Wales coming back to beat Zephyrhills and Dr Phillips doing the same to beat Fort Pierce Central helped me out a lot. * Jefferson is officially a fraud.   *Got to give Pahokee a lot of credit traveling to Taylor Co to get the win. * Some may disagree but Durant should have beaten Osceola in the first round.   I thought Osceola would get their act together for South Lake.  Congratulations to South Lake!   * Understand that Columbia choked away their game with Choctaw.  Thought that game was going to be competitive but was surprised Choctaw struggled so much.  Makes me have second thoughts about them hanging with St Augie this week. * Look at Manatee.  I know their bracket is weak but Manatee can at least say we made it to the third round.

Cocoa living life on the edge with a bad series of events when they could've sealed the game in 4th quarter

Agree, it wasn't my intent to critique the officiating for the game as much as to highlight that particular run which showed unbelievable effort and skill.  This diminutive player has been entertaining us with plays like that since his freshman year. 

I know EP did not underestimate us. I dont want to get all of the "officials" stirred up for sure. I see 100% where you are coming from. But there was some questionable officiating  regarding turnovers in that game as well. A few horrible spots. You know the drill.  In my humble opinion. If high school had instant replay and a competent official reviewing the game real time some calls could have been reversed or even made that weren't. But we both have to live in the same world as the officials who draw our games. That being said, I 100% would not want the job of a high school official. 

It was a game that could have gone either way for sure, however listening to Coach Pinellas leading up to the game he certainly felt this is how it would play out and never underestimated your squad.  Instead, I continually pointed out on this board that I felt if anything folks were over ranking us due to last year's results and we weren't that team yet most on this same site picked us to win.  I do believe the seeding system is flawed and felt for our Region we deserved the #2 seed but didn't do enough at seasons end to get it.  Not questioning the officiating, but you gotta admit the most electrifying play of the game was with under 2 minutes with you holding on to a 19-13 lead, the 35 yard run made by Alijah "Flash" Jenkins for a TD that was called back.   It was an unbelievable run starting as a jet sweep to the right sidelines before juking a couple of would-be tacklers, then cutting completely across the field spinning out of a couple more tacklers then headed towards the left endzone pilon.  Normally, you would see the flag thrown as he started the run to get the edge but it never came out until he had pretty much done everything I described and was clearly gonna score when the official back at the LOS threw it just before he broke the goal line.  That would have tied the game late and hung in the balance of the PAT for the win.  I didn't see the hold and have no instant replay to confirm at the same time saying it could very well have been the case. I do agree with you that Armwood is on a different level than either of us.
