I know what you mean, I'm a Cocoa Alumni, from way back. Cocoa had a rough start with all the young players, but they seem to be coming together at the right time. They have a big challenge with Cardinal Mooney this week. Their game against Norland was the only time I didn't pick them. I will probably go with Cocoa this week. 

Yeah and if you take Venice out of the equation, it’s closer to 0.00 

I do not use it in for high schools. I did use home field advantage several years ago in a somewhat futile attempt to keep accuracy pace with Joe Pinkos who did not use home field advantage. But it's basically meaningless. It works out to less than 1/2 point per game on average. Anyway, the last time I used home field advantage for high schools, it was around 0.34 points.  

Laz, does the so-called "home field advantage" come into play at all for you and your numbers?

Yes, and I do go only by my numbers. Sometimes they are wrong. Really wrong. But they pick high school winners over 80% of the time. As far as this week's games, If I was using my "gut feeling," there would be a couple of changes.  I have a sentimental attachment to Lake Mary, where my son played many years ago. They are really on a roll right now.  Also, I'm not sure about Blountstown and Hawthorne. And I do think there may be at least one surprise. That said, I go with the numbers. There's a lot that goes into them. We'll see.
