I am an alum of Hardee HS in Wauchula. I see the FHSAA has Hardee listed in Class 3A, District 7 when they released their "finalized" list yesterday. I believe this is an erroneous listing, because as far as I am aware nobody from here has publicly announced we will be rejoining the FHSAA only one year after we left the FHSAA for the SSAA. We joined the SSAA last year and it does not make sense to rejoin the FHSAA only one year after leaving it, so I think this is obviously an erroneous listing. However, I do see the FHSAA removed DeSoto from Class 3A, District 7 after the SSAA officially announced yesterday that DeSoto will be joining the SSAA Atlantic League for next season.

Hotels won't be a problem at The Villages. Just stock up on the multi color pack of bath loofahs. You will find a place to lay your head.  In all seriousness... Stadium capacity would be my biggest concern. You get Vero Vs MNW (I know it isn't possible) and FIU is busting at the seams let alone a 6k capacity stadium. It doesn't make sense. There are at least 8 university stadiums in this state. Probably more. 3 Pro stadiums. Soccer stadiums. Better choices exist.  

Agree with all, and will add.... * This wasn't your Papaw's Chaminade team. I saw that when they played West Boca in the kickoff classic. If West Boca hadn't shot themselves in the foot several times, they could have won that game. Against Newman, their freshman QB played like...a freshman, and IMO that was the difference.  * Bolles Xander Edwards is a LOAD for a sophomore.  * Northwestern kept having to settle for FG against Raines, and it eventually bit them. Hats off to Raines for never giving in.  * How many of those young, talented athletes at West Broward will still be playing for them next year?  * Hats off to Lake Mary for not quitting. Jankowski opened a door for them, and they took advantage of it. 

I Pretty sure 1981 - 1983 4A (which was the largest classification), had just over 100 teams.

You are correct that most states don’t have classifications with 100+ teams.  In fact, the Texas UIL is the only organization which has over 100 teams in its classifications (9- and 10-team districts are not uncommon in Texas).  California comes close, but is difficult to assess because each CIF Section (Southern, San Diego, Sac‑Joaquin, etc.) has its own number of teams and playoff divisions, which vary widely.  Even 80 teams per classification is well above the norm in the United States.  Anyone advocating for 100+ teams per classification in Florida envisions Florida being on the extreme high end among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
