badrouter Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 The FHSAA announced the date of the ninth playoff and sixth title game match up will be Saturday, December 14 at 7pm. Typically, 7A was held on a Friday night, while the prime time Saturday night game was for 8A. Good call by the FHSAA, as Lakeland vs. STA will surely be a better pairing then the 8A game. https://www.fhsaa.org/node/40668 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this may be a mistake. Also, while Lakeland will travel well, STA not so much. The 8A game may actually draw better depending on the teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Rockets Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 11 hours ago, Nolebull813 said: Did you just assume STA was gonna make it? Exactly! The FHSAA made a bad call with this lineup. If they were smart they would have had the 6A game on either Friday or Saturday. Assuming Mainland and MC makes it, that's literally a home game for Mainland. They will pack the stadium. 10,000 EASY!!! But a 6A game on Thursday night, maybe 5,000 depending on who makes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while Lakeland will travel well, STA not so much. The 8A game may actually draw better depending on the teams. If Lakeland somehow doesn't end up in Orlando, Edgewater (Orlando) may be the odds on favorite to get there instead. Armwood would be the most likely spoiler of those two. So, the odds are very good that you'll either have arguably the top rivalry in the state (certainly if you consider teams not from the same part of the state) featuring two nationally ranked teams or a team with a fairly strong fan base playing a near home game. The Dade teams in the other classes are pretty good bets to blow out whoever they face, making for an undesirable game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can beat them with resolve and commitment... We'll have to wait and see the team in action before making any final declarations. But, this appears to be the nastiest Lakeland team to date. Given Lakeland won by 13 last season (up 19 with 2 and change to play), I'd say things look good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armwood travels very poorly and have seldom brought more than a couple thousand to Orlando in recent years. Going to Daytona they will bring less. Regarding 8A, no Dade powers play in that class anymore. Columbus is the best bet from Dade to get back to state in 8A and they have a decent fan base. If Columbus does not make it, then the likely 8A south representative will be a team from Broward (Deerfield Beach, Western Miramar), or Vero Beach or a Palm Beach team. A match up between say VB and an Orlando based team would draw very well, as would a match up between my dark horse, Spruce Creek vs the south representative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not change my point, though. Aside from Columbus, it is not very likely Dade represents the south bracket in 8A. I guess a Palmetto or Coral Gables could make it, but neither has made a deep run in recent times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only The Tiers consider SOS and margin of relevant losses and possibly weight them more heavily than undefeated records vs non relevant teams. 2019 will be the 3rd year for The Tiers. Perhaps you should pay attention this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
