Mainland hosted Spruce Creek, Matanzas High, and a team of aspiring referees ( a few dozen ) in a 4hr scripted and controlled head knocker. Why Atlantic, Flagler Palm Coast, Deltona, University(Orange City), and Seabreeze backed out at the last minute is anyone's guess. Was it a money thing ? A transportation issue ? Were the teams infected with an illness ? The Zika virus ? Bad chicken wings ? Or as some were speculating, yours truly among them, lack of coaching " Backbone." A Seabreeze High coach was spotted with a note pad on the far sideline watching two district opponents, Mainland and Matanzas, smack each other around. Why his team wasn't with him is troubling to this Mainland homer. Unprepared, disorganized, embarrassed, and scared come to mind. No high school football player in America would pass up a free opportunity, and a week early, to go full contact with another football team. Coach Beach would have been there. Coach RD would have been there....enough said
