Week 10

This is the game many fans around the Big Bend area have been waiting for, even before the season started. Both Godby and Madison County provide plenty of fireworks on the offensive side of the ball. Both teams are averaging close to 40 points per game. In fact, these two teams have been so dominant, they have won by an average margin of 21 points or in some cases higher. Check out our game preview and prediction of this nationally televised game.

Game of the week

We're almost near the end of the regular season (isn't that scary) and in many areas around the state, this is a critical week to decide district champions and runner ups. But we also have a few exciting non-district games too. Find out which games we picked as the 10 Games to Watch and our predicted winners.

Week 9

It was a great week for high school football when you consider many district titles were on the line. We had Pine Forest taken full control of their district with a narrow win over Niceville thanks to a late interception. In other action, Ridge Community used a strong rally late in the fourth quarter to clinch their first district title in school history and Madison knocking off previously unbeaten Fort White. We'll talk about last week's action, give you our top five and look at the week ahead.

Week 9

FV heads to Niceville for this week's Game of the Week. How intense will it be in Niceville tonight? Consider a district title and bragging rights as the top team in the Panhandle are on the line. The match-up between Pine Forest and Niceville also pits two of the top scoring offenses with both teams averaging over 30 points per game. Expect a high scoring affair, but could it be the defense that turns out to be the difference?

Week 5

Hi football Floridians,

My name is George St. Lawrence and I am the co-founder and CEO of the newly developed Collegiate Development Football League (CDFL). I just wanted to start a discussion about the unseen talent of Florida prep athletes.

My son Peter's good friend Horace Gant played with Peter for 3 years at St. Olaf College before signing with the Redskins at the start of this season. He is from Pensacola and always talks about how there isn't enough opportunity to match the amount of talent in his home state.

I have been around this game my entire life and agree with Horace in the fact that there needs to be some secondary opportunity after high school for football players to showcase their skills and be seen by college coaches and recruiters around the country. This has lead me to develop the CDFL on the grounds that is a "second chance to make a first impression."

My son and Horace were lucky to have had some contacts that pulled them into St. Olaf while they were in that "in-between" state, but what about the thousands of others out there that aren't so fortunate?

I want to talk to you about your opinions on the matter. I want to find out from you if you think Florida talent would be benefited by this opportunity, and what you think would be the best way in going about getting these kids a legitimate look.

Check out the website and the video and let me know what you think.
