TC Williams came down to FL back in 2019 and lost to Spruce Creek in a preseason game 34-21. 

Oh man, did they ever. Our local paper had great coverage of Virginia high school football from across the state, and they were a fascinating follow. They steamrolled everyone except one game against George Marshall that they won by 5. 

Parents absolutely have a responsibility to do whatever they can do, within the existing rules, to benefit their children.   However, the schools/school districts/state/FHSAA all have a duty and responsibility to create a system that is fair, equitable, and competitively balanced for all high school athletes.   Historically, these entities have established rules and regulations to promote a system that works for benefit of the whole and not necessarily for the benefit of a single individual (for example,specific school districts, rules limiting transferring, rules prohibiting recruiting, etc.).  Like many things in life, the pendulum sometimes swings too far one way or the other before it starts swinging back the other way.  That's kind of the way I see it right now.   A system that only benefits a select handful of kids and teams could ultimately kill the sport.  And that would be sad. 

Babcock Ranch is a school in Charlotte County. They played 8 man last year and are playing 11 man this year. 

Worked out pretty well for the T.C. Williams Titans.  Remember the Titans?
