Booker puts up 83 and 85 points in last 2 games.

[Fla2014]

Booker HS Tornadoes (Sarasota, FL) has put up 83 and 85 points in their last 2 games against Gibbs (1-9) and Desoto County (1-8). I'm not sure how that will help them moving forward to playoffs, but I feel like this was a case of running up the score. They have a slew of JV players that should have been playing most of these games being that the JV team never played a game this year and they don't have a freshman team. In one the games, they put up 47 points in the first quarter and still had starters in the majority of the game.

I understand Booker had 5 onside kicks against Desoto County.

It's Booker...they have talent, but they also have the worst coaches in Sarasota County by far. I'm sure they think running up the score on incredibly weak opponents will make up for them losing to Mooney, Riverview, Berkeley and Sebring. Mooney is the only team of those four with more talent than Booker and that was the KOC, so losing didn't even hurt them there. Booker is lucky that they play in the weakest region, in the weakest classification in the FHSAA. They will be able to win at least 2-3 games in the playoffs on talent alone this year.
