Although Southeast is kind of weak right now, Palmetto and Braden River have emerged. Manatee used to get its pick of players from the county, but no longer. If the B-River coach moves on, then they might start to get their pick of the litter again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it because it creates more playoff games and they get a big cut of all playoff gates. There are about 550 football playing schools. If you made 5 classes that's 110 per class. Divide that into 16 districts and the average is 6-7 team per district. Which is a perfect size district. Champs and runner ups make the playoffs. You take the 110 smallest enrollments and make that 1A. And you keep going up until you have 5 classes. So fucking easy Said this for YEARS. There are about 700 playing football, but there are a lot of independents, sunshine conference etc. If they got all the teams into the FHSAA and made 4 public school classes and 3 private school classes (best teams can play in an open bowl, so calm down private school people), we would have robust classes that were fairly evenly matched.

BigBobT Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 So what's the best new class? I'm wondering what everyone thinks. Also the region idea with no districts where you don't even have to play all the teams is absolutely stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One step that could be done is to increase the size of the lower four classes or at least all but 1A. That, even without a reduction in classes would make them a bit more competitive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Finch Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Realignment for 2022-23 is supposed to happen this month but the Football Advisory Committee met today and unanimously passed (9-0) a proposal to split schools based on a Urban and Suburban/Rural designation. The number of classes would actually increase from 8 to 9. 4 urban classes 5 suburban/rural classes The urban class would be made up schools from Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Orange and Duval Counties. This would have to be passed by the Board of Directors at their next scheduled meeting in February. Let's hope it fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talked about doing that in Louisiana at one time before the split here. They eventually said f*** that and just went on with the official split.

I think that there is some sense in separating urban and suburban/rural...as long as schools have the option to opt into urban. If there is no such option, many of the most memorable sorts of matchups we've seen over the years would be over. Major programs, off the top of my head, left out would include the likes of Lakeland, Lake Gibson, Cocoa, Bradenton Manatee and Southeast (historically), Venice, Sarasota Riverview, Kissimmee Osceola, Lake City Columbia, Tallahassee Lincoln, the rest of the Panhandle/Pensacola the Gainesville schools, and there are more. ALL of those have won state titles and/or knocked off mega schools from major urban areas. STA has lost, at minimum, twelve (12) times in the playoffs to schools in the above list in the last 30 years. Tampa Jesuit nearly lost to Pine Forest this year; Venice beat Apopka (Orange county). I could go on. So, they have to allow the option to go the urban route. And, if they do, I can imagine that would create all sorts of conflicts that make it infeasible.
