    One step closer to HS football losing this lifetime fan forever

    Great song, fell asleep to it most nights my freshman year in college. And another appropriate analogy: Florida high school football is the ship with the Broken Back, and the FHSAA plays to role of the Madman Across the Water.

    One step closer to HS football losing this lifetime fan forever

    Song reminds me of high school when me and Rod were both youngsters. Here's another appropriate song for FHSAA that came from the Gershwin Elton and Bernie Award show. Never cared for Metallica until this. Ironically it came when I was at a funeral for a one of my closest friends, Bear the big...

    No Love for the Charlotte Tarpons by the Sara Herald Tribune

    I remember when my youngest was a freshman, we beat Miami Norland at the Wally Keller Classic one of the years they went on to win State Title (Think it was 6A). My son got in for a half minute right before the half but hit a 3 to give us the lead going in to halftime - that was one of the...

    No Love for the Charlotte Tarpons by the Sara Herald Tribune

    Yes, everyone at the papers and readership must have seen this. That means you're probably going to be responsible for Big Changes coming in H-T Coverage and FM News Press. I think it may have even been featured by one of the speakers at the "Local Page Editors of America Conference" held in...

    No Love for the Charlotte Tarpons by the Sara Herald Tribune

    We're in Mullet Wrapper no-mans land between FM News Press and H-T. Their cheap a$$ editors run their sports guys ragged, covering local sports in their hub cities - both are fortunate to have some great ones who love the area and have stayed with all the cuts. The H-t considers us SW Fl, the...

    2A Region 3 wrestling @ Charlotte HS

    Hope you get to see a good game, They played a really tough schedule, that's made them play pretty good defense, and they play as a team with different guys contributing when needed most. Go Tarps!

    2A Region 3 wrestling @ Charlotte HS

    Tarpons finished 4th at States but we had the First Tarpon Female State Champ, Iyonna Church-Ross (28-0). Tarps also won a state title in Robotics and NJROTC, so it was a good week athletically and academically.

    A federal judge in the US has issued an injunction that prevents the (NCAA) from enforcing regulations related to NIL

    It's not what's best for the game of football at any level; it's what makes the most money for the most stakeholders. And there is a hierarchy of stakeholder groups.

    2A Region 3 wrestling @ Charlotte HS

    Finished second in Wrestling (192pts), but sending 8 to State Tournament. Four won, four placed in Top 4. Tarpon wrestling has been a great program since I was in high school and HOF Coach George Sansone won the district right after he got here and started the program. He got our first State...

    Manatee's 2024 Schedule

    Good luck; you know how I feel. I always marvel at the skills Manatee puts out consistently. But you have to have that OL / DL to get the most out of them when it counts. Manatee (and others) have had teams loaded before, good enough to breeze through the playoffs. But in those three games...

    Happy for you. What's he been or where has he been since? Because today's high school football athlete in the era of free agency and government intervention, with NIL looming large in high school, is a different breed.

    Silver, momma of Hayden Bradley TE from Buford HS keeps posting a lot of Miami positive vibes

    I think program wise, Florida has a few more question marks than Miami at this point three years in with these coaches. Miami has the best QB going in, and Florida has veteran TE's. Hopefully Arroyo's rehab has gone well but I think the kid has more a chance to get on the field at Miami, and a...

    Silver, momma of Hayden Bradley TE from Buford HS keeps posting a lot of Miami positive vibes

    They need help in TE room, its one of the positions that seemed to decline in recruiting. They had some injuries too, and the position wasn't really much of a factor in the offense. Good teams need that special TE than can runblock and get open.

    Myron Charles, Port Charlotte DT

    Impressed you remembered that. They moved me to guard that year, but the three previous years I was the smallest starting OT in the entire NAIA 190-195. My buddy was the biggest 6'7" 285 (Huge in the pre "Refrigerator" Perry Days - athletic, and was All American). He graduated and made the last...

    Myron Charles, Port Charlotte DT

    I guess the rating services use strength of schedule too, or the fact that SW and Suncoast can always trot out the skill players but have never been known for producing OL. I remember we had an OT who had all the tools, size, reach and was moderately athletic. I remember telling him he needed...
