Just remember, Fan 74, that TCA is the real deal, also. The way I see it, to be the champion you have to beat the champion. I don't think anyone should pick against TCA. That's just my opinion. Is TCA healthy going into the championship game?Originally posted by Fan 74:
AHD opens up as the 6 point favorite. Looking at video against CCC and Westminister AHD looks like the real deal. Hopefully both teams are healthy for this match up.
You are 100% correct. AH is an exceptional team and in order to defeat them it will take another exceptional team. I just feel that TCA is a team that can coast along in a game and look unexceptional for a half or even 3 quarters. Then, just when you thought they were ready for the taking, they explode and bury you. The amount of athletes on this TCA team just wears down most teams. Their defense never seems to get tired and your offense just gets tired of trying. If AH has an exceptional passing attack I think they have a chance against TCA. If not, I think it will be a long afternoon for AH. OTC has an exceptional passing attack along with a very good rushing game and could only score 10 points on them.Originally posted by Landobound:

If you just look at 3A, the two finalists (AH-Delray and Jax Trinity Christian) beat 2/4 teams remaining in 5A (AH-Plantation and Godby). Heritage also has wins over Glades Central (4A), East Lee County (6A), Palm Bay Heritage (6A) and Central High Alabama 7A (state semifinalist).
I'll take Heritage in a close one. But what an amazing 3A final.
Yeah, but ZERO to 38 against Gulliver Prep??Originally posted by Dan in Daytona:
When 3A AH-D beat 5A AH-P,that's all you needed to know to rank this championship final.
Dan, I don't know if that is all you have to consider. TCA played arguably the best team in the nation Buford close. They defeated 5A powerhouse Godby, and blew out 4A power Madison. We can't dismiss one of the toughest defenses in high school football so easily. I have watched both teams play. Unless AHD brings an effective passing attack, to go along with their running game, they will probably lose IMHO. I don't see AHD and Trenard Davis possessing a truly effective passing attack. You simply can't run against TCA no matter how good you are at it. And AHD is good at it.Originally posted by Dan in Daytona:

As long as Martin and Clark are healthy and ready to go you then have a potent rushing offense. Toliver is the additional player in that triple headed monster. What a potent backfield. Barr seems also to be a big part of that offense at WR. Since AHD has a good rushing defense Cobb may have to go to Barr, Wade, and Flowers more than is usually necessary.Originally posted by Fan 74:
ProSetEye you got me revisiting that OTC game. That was a classic game right there with a lot of talent on both sides of the LOS. A lot of hitting took place by both teams. I believe we got #2 back full time last week but lost #1 for a half. Don't know the status of #1 but if he cant go we lose a LB, RB and wide out as he plays all three thru out the game. Our main back seen limited work last week due to the ankle he sprained against you guys toward the end of the game. Other than that I have not heard any injuries this week in practice. Going to be fun game as I think this is the 3rd time since 2009 we will have played AHD.
Yep what Captain said. If you offer ANY financial assistants to student athletes you should be made to play up 2 classesOriginally posted by Captains Morgan:
That's easy to say Proset when you select your players such as TCA or yourself but the actual schools who rely on kids who actually live in the community would hope not to play an all star team in the playoffs. Probably easier to move the privates up a class or two.
There are a few public schools in 3A like Frostproof and Ft. MeadeOriginally posted by Fan 74:
Are the majority of 3A if not all of 3A private schools? I would assume all private schools have to get students to come to their schools. I would almost go out on a limb and say most if not all private schools deal with enrollment the same way as well. I do not think there are boundaries for private schools as there was for public schools back in the day.. Thus that is why 3A is all private schools. Now be it smaller private schools.
I agree with you. And, in fact stated just that in a previous message. I think that TCA, CCC, OTC, and AHD could easily compete in 4A and even 5A. All of these teams take on higher classification teams and defeat most of them during the regular season. I remember one year, when OTC went undefeated, we had 8 higher classification teams, 4A through 8a, on our schedule. And, these were all good teams. Most went to the playoffs. I'm just tired of seeing these teams play against other 3A teams that don't have any chance. I have no idea why most of the other teams in 3A are not capable teams. All private schools have the same ability to obtain players so there should not be that much difference among them. I thought that any school could petition the FHSAA to either move up or down in classifications.Originally posted by Captains Morgan:
