7A
Seen Venice play now a couple of times, and though they lost the game against IMG. I found it revealing that for this game, Peacock abandoned his no huddle (fast paced) offense and the Venice much maligned defense up to that point was suddenly capable of keeping teams off the scoreboard. I'll admit I havent seen Venice play since the IMG game, but its defense starting with the Lehigh game has allowed oppossing teams to only score at a 10 points per game rate. My thought's were that Peacock realized his offense scoring at a rate of 5 to 7 plays per drive, was in turn keeping his defense on the field way too much. So he slowed things down offensively, to in turn drammatically lower the total number of offensive plays oppossing teams were getting per game. Subsequently keeping the defense off the field and thus gettting a over-all better production from it.
I see Venice probably only getting 1 game on its quest to a Championship game, that being Lake Mary. I see Venice finding its self in that Championship game, playing Miami Columbus, with Venice and Peacock letting it all hang out at that point and winning the 7A state title running away!
6A
I find the 6A Bracket as being a very competitive! There will any number of games in this bracket that will be worth seeing, if your in a position to see them from a location standpoint.
Region 1 - looks to me a Region that is destine to see a Neese vs Bucholz rematch, that saw Neese win in overtime. Darkhorse team that could shake thing up in this Region is Pace HS
Region 2 - Looks like its Armwood's to lose. Its defense had 5 shuts during the regular season, but I also noted Armwood was only challanged once all year,that being Tampa Bay Tech in a game they won 31-27
Region 3 - West Boca I see is the team everyone seems to be pencilling as the favorite. This Region though in my mind has a few teams that could potentially challenge. Mitchell knocked of Wireglass during the regular season but still found itself as lower seed to Wireglass (due to a strenght of schedule measurement emloyed by the FHSAA), I wouldnt under estimate Mitchell, but it has a 1st round game against Parrish Community, that could be an opponet that could sneak up them, if they're already looking at a potential 2nd round matchup against West Boca. Another team in this bracket I believe might being over looked is Palmetto HS. Nothing about Palmetto just cries out to you as a dominate team, but all Palmetto did during the regular season was go 9-1 losing only to Manatee 35-7 in a game played after a Hurricane layoff that saw them commit a number of mistakes at the beginning of the game. I could see a circumstance where a number of team could win this region including Palmetto. Right now Im going to go out on a limb and predict Mitchell to pull the upset, just because of the number of times they've come close to doing this only to lose at the end. Its a program thats been quietly playing quality football for a number of years, I believe this year is the year they break through to win this region.
Region 4 - This region in my mind is for Miami Southridge to lose.
I see the Region 1 winner as being the favorite to win the state title, but regardless they'll be a number of games in this Bracket that would fun for the true HS football fan to see if your in a position to see a game!
