Both years you guys gave Mainland all they could handle. We were lucky to win both.
from what he tells me about his son. he is 10* better than he was in high school. and my homie was that deal in high school. that's what made me start following the sharks. I had to see if he was better than his dad. he isn't taller but he is bigger than D was in high school. that kid is a freaking statue
Would make sense I don't recall, I was the o-line coach was probably yelling at some fat kids when it happened.
Sebastian River is a good team and Mainland thrives on facing good teams. To say that Mainland should be worried, I don't think so. Pettis has always put up a good fight against Mainland but with a team that can't score points it will be tough to beat Mainland. Mainland is going to score points regardless. You talk about D-I kids, Mainland has D-1 kids also that have just not been offered yet, if you all meet you will see what I'm talking about. Sebastian River should be worried about beating Deltona first, I think Deltona could give them problems with their aggressive defense and their big wide receivers that can go get the ball.
Yeah right. You weren't coaching. I asked him about that. He said the game was stopped for about 45 min plus evac had to come on the field. How could you forget that
I have never in my life had to had a medical evac for any kid on my team. Are you sure you know which FPC he's talking about?? I coached at Fort Pierce Central. You sure you don't mean Flagler palm coast? I'm sure your buddy's boy is good, but he didn't knock any Cobras out of the game that night. The mainland buc I remember most from that night was Kevin Mccrary. What a player. FAU got a steal with him.
Sebastian river just got another kid on the D who just picked up an offer. Minnesota golden gophers. 8-11 kids on that D with D1 offers. that ain't no private school. that is a blessing
Sorry about that. Should of caught the mix up on the real FPC. DM was in the 7 & 8th grade when we played Fort Pierce Central. He hurt a Palm Coast kid last year as a 9th grade freshman. No way are the two FPC's equal.
Caught half of John Carroll and half of Jensen. Really like the defense but they don't do enough on O. Our old head coach did a pregame speech for them told me same. Was very impressed with defensive personnel but was left unimpressed with O. The definitely have a shot but can't score on subpar opponents. My concern is they play a team with a good d and o that scores just.a couple times and they can't keep up. Although if the defense can keep contributing a couple scores then they will be very competitive.
nobody will play them with 11 in the box anymore from what I seen Friday night. that win T works when the D has to sit in your base D.
during the off season as a freshman DB was training with mike gillislee 3 days a week after spring and summer workouts.
I hope you're right don't get me wrong. I've just been apart of treasure coast football for a long time and every time we think we have a legit team some state power proves us wrong. May be the bigger source of my skepticism. I played on the '03 centennial team. We had nearly 3 thousand yard rushers out of a wing t. 4 SEC defensive players. Ranked third in the state. Lost in overtime in the second round to a less talented Merritt island. So like I said I really do want well for SR but my logical side tells me to be wary.
Dan you seen him knock the crap out a kid last year no matter who they played? he was all ways the loudest player on the field threw pad contact. I was with his dad at every game. so I know you seen it dan
hey coach when you watch the game does it seem like everybody on that D is just bigger and faster than everyone? them kids hit like men
Absolutely faster. Very fast very aggressive. Jarez has an impressive frame. DBs are long and lean. Could use a little beef in the interior but Ron freeman plays with great intensity. Really looking forward to the vero game to see them against a good balanced offense. That will speak volumes I know they held them tight and almost pulled it out last year. Hoping they can pull it out this year
My bad, DB not DM. Truth, he is a special young man. I thought he did more punishment as a RB then an inside LB. Saw him pound a few guys. Unlike a lot of young guys his father is looking out for his son's best interest. Wish it would have worked out at Mainland. He would have been the man in '17 and '18. Oh well, Mainland reloads.... Best to him, his dad, and you.....Buc Forever
kyle oliver is that lb who picked six that he plays for mississippi valley state now!!! both games were great ones hard fought
Bo we played against each other then, I played for Vero back in '03, I can vaguely recall remembering you guys having a great run game as we did too, ran variations of the Wing T and Power I Formations back then before Vero became a spread offense.
That's absolutely right. We were a heavy wing T team and threw very little. We escaped the Indian river citrus bowl that night in 03 with a triple overtime win. Unreal game.
Good question Zoe. The answer is no. That's why the cancelled Cocoa game was so disappointing. Mainland averaged 49 points a game this year, the highest in their 90+ year history. The offense has looked unstoppable against some really poor quality D's. It could also be said about the Mainland defense. They too are untested. But, and this is a big but, they are loaded with athletes. I've seen all the great Mainland teams. They "look" as good as those who came before. Time will tell. There's nowhere to hide in 6A south. Bring it on, I got the Bucs...Forever
Dan don't say that.. We know how it turned out the past years .... Wish you guys was coming down here.. I only got to experience one game down here when y'all came down...
Well Zoe, different year hopefully a different result. By the third round, home or away means very little to athletic teams without fear or a lack of self confidence. The best team, with the best athletes, usually wins if the game is called fairly.
