ECHS05 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 On Saturday, August 25th ... The Defending FL 8A State Champions, Dr. Phillips, play @ The Defending GA 6A State Champions, Lee Co.. Lee Co. beat a not-very-good Dougherty team 47-6 in week 0. Dr. Phillips didnt play an actual game, but Im sure they played a "kickoff classic" ... I can't find evidence of that though, does anyone know who, or if, Dr. Phillips played a game this past weekend? Anyway... Who do you guys think wins this game? CalPreps says Dr. Phillips wins 26-14... But idk. Lee Co. will be good this year, just not sure how good due to graduation losses from last year. Dr. P is supposed to be a contender to again win FLs 8A title... So I think this will be an excellent game... Who do you guys think wins?

ATLien12x Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’m way more interested in than the North Gwinnett-Wekiva and Milton- Cardinal Gibbons games. Thoughts on those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm thinking if I'm gambling on the game, I'd take Lee County just for home field advantage. I suspect the two teams will be pretty even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on those? North Gwinnett should take the Wekiva game. Milton looked pretty good. I'm thinking a 2014 replay type of Milton almost when they get rolling good. If it was a pick 'em game, I'd probably go with Milton, but, idk. Toss up I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECHS05 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 North Gwinnett-Wekiva & Milton-Cardinal Gibbons are 2 weeks away though. Lee-Phillips is next week! Itll be interesting to see how good Wekivas D really is. Wekiva won their "kickoff classic" 35-0 over Lake Brantley FL. Cardinal Gibbons won their kickoff classic 41-7 over Key West. IMO... Wekiva & Cardinal Gibbons are just too elite to be beat. These are the #2 and #3 teams in Florida on CalPreps after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Lee County in a rout. Kissimmee Osceola dismantled them. 21-3. That's a small rivalry and Dr Pepper wouldn't have just laid down for them. And if you haven't been to or seen a preseason game then you can't really comment on how they work. ESPN wouldn't have put them on their networks the last couple of years. Lee Co is in mid season form dropping almost half a hundy. plus Dr Pep has to drive all the way there Friday and play in the middle of the dead Georgia heat Saturday afternoon I'm hoping the game stays close but I got Lee Co by multiple scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Wekiva hasn't done anything to earn their ranking yet. North Gwinnett looked invincible yesterday. We just need Cardinal Gibbons to win more than any of the other teams. Mainland will lose big to Bob Jones and Stoneman Douglas is hot garbage. Chaminade will win for sure. Florida needs to win two out of three against the two Georgia teams and St Joe's or it will be considered a disaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think that means anything. Lee beat one an awful team. Dr. P is incredible. Pipe Dreams said they were very talented and will crush Lee. I was not surprised that Osceola beat Dr. Phillips in the KOC. The two teams have formed a rivalry and have swapped games back and forth. However, I am surprised by the margin of victory. It may be possible Dp. held out some of their kids (or played them sparingly) in anticipation of their road trip this week since the KOC does not count on their record. I was not at the Dp game, so who knows? Dr. Phillips brings back a fair number of kids from their state title team. However they also lost several key players including a senior starting QB. I saw them in their spring game against Winter Park and was not overly impressed. However, that game was played after a two hour lightening delay on a soggy field. So it was really very difficult to properly assess them. Add to that they were missing their principal running back who also plays baseball and was therefore not available (Dp. made it to the state semis in baseball), and it made it even more difficult to assess them then. Here is what I do know. Dp. is a bit young but talented at most of the skill offensive positions. So I think they will be better on offense later in the season as a team as some of these players mature into their new roles. Dp. has good experience on both of its lines. So they should be fine there. They also return twin brothers who were the heart and soul of their defensive efforts that led them to the state title. At this stage of the season, I don't expect Dp to score more than 24 points in this game. So if Lee County has the offensive firepower to put up thirty or more, then they should win handily. Hope Dp. represent Central Florida well. I am cautiously optimistic that they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on those? I will give you some insight into Wekiva. They have a stellar, veteran defense with several kids having multiple D1 offers. It will be very, very difficult to put up more than 21 against them. They have three quality wide receivers and a senior QB that used to be at Apopka as a freshman and sophomore. The QB is mobile but not really a runner, has a decent arm, but also a tendency to make bad judgments on occasion. Currently, they don't have an established running back and have been working with three or four kids to find the proper combination at the position. They lost a veteran kicker/punter to graduation. Kid had filled the role for four years, I am not sure whether they have an adequate replacement. In their spring game against a good Edgewater team, the kid they used was okay, but not special. My guess is that this game is a defensive struggle. I would have to favor North Gwinnett as the home team, but would not be surprised if Wekiva won. Wekiva does have a veteran coaching staff, so even though they don't have a history of making deep playoff runs and out of state travel, I don't think it will affect them too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECHS05 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Cedar Grove vs. Hewitt-Trussville & Mays vs Central (Phenix City) are this week also. I doubt GA wins either game... Those are 2 top 5 AL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
