What a gut punch!

This isn’t something we don’t know already. It’s a culture issue. Texans are willing to be taxed more to support their schools, academically and athletically.

I’ve posted this before but one of my sons called me to tell me about this after taking a tour of Eagle Stadium in Allen, Texas. Its capacity is 18,000. It is the fifth largest high school stadium in Texas but the largest for a single high school.

FLORIDA COACHES COALITION working for better coaching pay

Saw a story on WTVT, Channel 13 Tampa, about the Florida Coaches Coalition that will address the state government of the importance of making coaches pay competitive to other states and at least fair to the hours and work they give to high school athletes in the state. The following is a statement page by the Coalition on their website.



Silver, Did you see the video......

Of some charter Captain named - brock horner, going after a kid fishing under the US 41 bridge linking Punta Gorda to Port Charlotte? It all stems from horner earlier in the morning, running his boat at a high speed while passing under the bridges.....Ill send the link on facebook if you haven't

UPDATE: well this video is apparently well on its way to becoming viral. The internet sluths have dox this guy in every way imaginable, he basically lied about everything that came out his mouth..(including his service record), personally I suspected it was pretty much a lie, when his arrest record was published.

Booker High School vs. Auburn High School

I've been hearing rumblings that Booker HS will be traveling to Alabama to play Auburn HS this year. AHS finished 10-1 with their only loss coming in the playoffs. AHS played a 3-8 North Miami team last year and won 49-0. AHS has a 3-star RB who is committed to Auburn University. If this is true, I think this will be a good game for the Booker Nation who has a legitimate chance to win their first state championship.

Riverview Schedule 2025

8/22 - Naples
8/29 - @Tampa Riverview
9/5 - Palmetto
9/12 - @Moore Haven
9/19 - North Port

Rebranding Your Program

Login to view embedded media
Always looking for a way to promote your program. It is away to express that it is a new day at your program which would get people’s attention. Not saying Edgewater did this just to attract players to but I wonder if other programs are looking to do this. Pro and college programs do this to sell new merchandise. It’s probably not a bad idea these days. I would want to keep the traditional logos even if you create new ones.

First Academy Coach Will Be Punished

Playing teams from other states is all the rage. It used to be these games were put together to get on an ESPN channel.
