St Pete Catholic is 4-0 and top ranked in the computer rankings for 1A. They were 5-5 last year and were really much worse than 5-5. How did they do it? They hired the former Clearwater Academy International coach who was serving as the OC of Tarpon Springs and he did what he does which is get transfers in from everywhere, including bringing all the transfers he took with him to Tarpon. I won't go as far as say it is shady because I don't know any details of the transfers into SPCHS but I do know the transfers into Tarpon seemed shady at best. Oh well, I guess it's the new normal in HS ball in this state.

Dillard needing a miracle to win is a bit of a stretch bro lol. Needing a miracle is like a Hail Mary attempt or something. We did what great teams do which is adjust and handle business in the second half. We can’t use computer rankings for some and not for others. Miramar record is 1-4 but the talent on their team is way better than that. They just so happen to play a solid ass schedule to start the season. McArthur and Mater both have revamped rosters from last year full of transfers. That’s not gonna show on maxpreps rankings because maxpreps is computer generated with no real knowledge on teams year to year.
Thats like Dillard going toe to toe with heritage in the 2nd round last year AT heritage, leading nationally ranked heritage 14-0 at halftime being the ONLY TEAM to hold them scoreless in the first half all year , giving heritage their toughest playoff game of all of last year.
Hell Dillard didn’t get no credit for that. Why because in a lot of minds yea yall played it close but u didn’t win. So if that’s the case if you play 3 good teams and u lose all 3 to the masses standards that mean you’re not a good team because a good team would find a way to win atleast one of them.
down here in broward if you a played a tough schedule and you’re (1-3) after 5 weeks they’ll tell you str8 up “YOU NOT LIKE DAT” meaning you NOT for real. So let that be the standard for everyone lol
Spruce Creek will drop for being in a dog fight with Titusville. It wasnt some big lead and they scored in garbage time against backups. Titusville was with them every step of the way. All the way to the end. Good teams dismantle teams like Titusville.
Titusville is scary bad. And it was a 4 quarter war. That’s unacceptable.
Close wins against really bad opponents are worse than losing against elite teams. Not in the W/L category obviously, but when you are analyzing teams they are.
