Sounds like Mitchell is really down from last year's strong team. CCC keeps ripping talent from everyone. I didn't think Pasco county was within their reach but apparently if Tarpon Springs kids can transfer 50 miles east to Lakeland (someone please explain this to me), Pasco kids can transfer to CCC no prob.
Attended Clearwater Jamboree Thursday night. Clearwater, Cardinal Mooney and Mitchell played. The story of the night was Cardinal Mooney. They are a complete team. Would compare them to the Jesuit team that played Lakeland last week. It’s going to take a well coached athletic team to beat them. Their Kickoff Classic is at STA so there will be an early barometer.
Clearwater is very similar to most Tornado teams, plenty of talent, maybe more than usual. The coaches have plenty to work with so I would say it is in their hands. That being said, Mooney dismantled them. No contest.
West Boca knocked Mitchell out of the playoffs last year. This Mitchell team is young in the trenches. They were playing without 3 of their top offensive weapons from last season. One receiver is recovering from an injury. The other 2 transferred to Clearwater Central Catholic, a RB and a WR. A father of a couple of Mitchell players told me the RB was a huge loss. Needless to say, Mooney dismantled them.
Clearwater defeated Mitchell in the final matchup.
Thank you. Windermere is not even in the same stratosphere as these two. They can be at some point in life but not now. They are so bad that they left the FHSAA districts because they knew they didn’t have a snowball chance in hell. Kudos to them for realizing that and not watering down the districts. Kudos to all the other ones like Colonial, University, Oak Ridge etc.
If Windermere wants to get to the next level and graduate to varsity football, then they need to schedule some top Orlando teams in the regular season and eventually spring an upset
