Translation: blowout that Florida has to be on the wrong end of again pass To me this all sounds like SFA tried to schedule a gimmie that ended up being half decent, and then decided, eh don't feel like playing them anymore.

I asked Josh and twitter and that's what he said. He said SFA didn't want to travel after the hurricane impacted areas that they will have to travel through. I don't think SFA didn't want to come.

It looks like they are literally playing a bunch of ISOBrowards but from Canada. I mean they probably won't/shouldn't get a post season game invite with that schedule.

Artcle from the Jacksonville paper (scroll way down) http://www.jacksonville.com/sports/20180919/first-coast-varsity-weekly-bartram-trail-volleyball-readies-for-arizona Quote Generals head coach O.J. Small said Tuesday that the Maryland school, ranked fourth in the nation by MaxPreps, withdrew from the scheduled game Monday. Lee athletic director Rosalyn Bloxom-Johnson said St. Frances cited severe weather from Hurricane Florence in the Baltimore area. The cancellation leaves Lee with a bye this week and a nine-game schedule. Severe flooding from Florence would have complicated the journey for St. Frances. Because of the closure of sections of Interstate 95, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is redirecting southbound drivers around the flooded region via U.S. Highway 64 and Interstates 40 and 85, hundreds of miles to the west.

11rover Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 So let me get this straight, this arrogant jacka** gets on ESPN and tells everyone how rich he is and all the money he has spent, but they are driving to FL and not flying? That's a crock of S***., seems SFA did to Lee what they claimed all the MIAA teams did to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Gonna be Interesting moving forward to see if kids around the Maryland/DC area want to transfer to a team that plays a 5 game Canadian schedule. Lol. I feel bad for the kids who have been at the program for a while, but the kids who transferred there gotta be kicking themselves.

They are reaping what they sow. Instead of being with their original team they thought the grass was greener at some recruited up all star team, and they have only played one game since the season started and that was against a garbage team. Good analogy would be some guy leaving a good girl with a great personality for some better looking girl, but come to find out she had caked on makeup and she's a psycho path. Lol.

I think IMG has realized this National MNC chase and what they are doing has no money in it. Just looking at their schedule and knowing they have cut funding for OOS games also wouldn’t pay St Frances too come there and they rescudled that game. Just thinking but i am guessing they pull the plug on their National team in the near future. They will continue the training and camp aspect though. Just like other all star teams chasing MNC there just is no profit in it It’s a money pit which is why all Indy programs and so called National high school teams fall off just an opinion Interesting take I can dig it.

Has Wood gotnit together now with the new coach? Who knows? I haven’t watched the 4 teams enough to know how the match ups would play out. I will say that Wood’s win over Spalding is a very good win. Spalding would win Maryland 4A. They are extremely well coached and that score is head scratching. Gonzaga may have been down after that rivalry game with Georgetown Prep. Probably not, but we’ll find out soon. The WCAC is going to be better than the movie Bloodsport this season: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trend continues in 2018 as the Top Rated SFA begins the year in rarified air at an outrageous 92.7 rating. The Panther feel they were cheated out of a potential marquee win vs. IMG in 2017 (due to a hurricane cancellation) and are determined to mow down the competition in 2018. Despite suffering some key off season transfer losses, SFA figures to have enough horses to maintain the top spot in the area. 2017 hard luck team St. John's is coming off a very frustrating season which saw them dominating Calif powers DLS, and SJB, before succumbing late in both games. Coach figures that lack of offseason conditioning was the cause and has been putting the Cadets through a brutal off season regimen to help survive what could be the toughest schedule in the Country. A (4) game run which begins Aug. 31 at Hoover Al. and continues the following week with Miami Central (Fl), and ending with consecutive games vs. IMG (FL) and Ga. #1 Marietta. If the Cadets emerge unscathed, they would lay claim to a national #1 ranking, heading into the second half of the year. Cal Preps has it at: St. Francis Academy 92.7 St. John's 87 Dematha 59.4 Goo Council 49.4 Gonzaga 47 WHEN was Merryetter #1 in ANYTHING other than Baketbol?

He is a huge Trump supporter and he would tell you that I have lost my way. Still, I love the man and have watched him and his family grow over a third of a century. We both will say the other is misdirected. But at the end of the day we’ll stand side by side against the world. I believe this board’s members will stand with us.

MA Fan Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 1 hour ago, GardenStateBaller said: Jeez, what's happened to Sully? Smh Graduated a lot of talent and some of their top players transferred back to public schools for their senior year. Coaching staff IMO is not going to beat anyone with inferior talent. Their schedule is scaled way back this year, with four Canadian teams and two in-state privates remaining. Why pay tuition to play against West Toronto Prep and Royal Imperial Collegiate? It was announced earlier this year that they would be rejoining their league for football by 2020, which will presumably be the end of their "national" aspirations. Their league holding the rest of their athletic program hostage didn't help, but ultimately it's really hard to make a fully independent program work. Kids want to compete for championships, they want to be named all-conference and all-state, they want to play in front of big crowds and be written about in the newspaper. IMG can offer a unique enough experience to attract players (and truly compete for a national championship every year), but how many other schools have the resources? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if St Frances and IMG still plays them but I also doubt there will be a team left by that time anyway http://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20180925/ohsaa-cof-academy-no-longer-considered-academic-institution On the plus side for SFA, Canada Prep showed up for their game in Chicago last week and actually played a full four quarters. OTOH beating one of the weakest teams in Illinois 25-12 probably isn't going to encourage them to make the trip to Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
