badrouter Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 ICYMI, the Dreadnaughts hung 60 on the Venice Peacocks to win another title. If they were a California team, we'd be hearing about their "hyper-improvement" meaning they should be national top whatever. New head coach (replacing the winningest coach in Florida history), new coordinators, replacing thirty-something seniors, eleven of which signed with FBS schools, etc. They scored 77 and 60 points in late-round playoff games that did not go to OT, and while not running a no-huddle offense. The QB-who harmed both Norland and SJP through the air (Lakeland scored more points and threw for more yards than any other team on both Norland and SJP's schedules)- couldn't throw the ball at all the last three quarters due to injury vs. Venice and still scored 60. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went 0-3 vs Metro teams. Not including the 124th Florida team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some poor souls do not understand this crucial advice. Lakeland managed to overcome not having a defensive line to reach glory. How many other teams could win Florida 4S without a defensive line?

Atticus Finch Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 A 3-loss Lakeland team that gave up a trillion points winning a state championship is exactly the reason why the metro/suburban classes were created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorly coached urban schools is exactly the reason Aquinas will never play IMG and decline the "Open" Playoff Division if given that option.

Nolebull813 Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Truth is the fact that they had to play only suburban teams benefitted them greatly. Remember a few years ago they were undefeated on a 27 game winning streak and barely beat Tampa Bay Tech in the 2nd round. Then got bounced in the 3rd by Armwood by 2 touchdowns. The grind of playing teams like Tech, Armwood then Edgewater if they would have won vs Armwood they would have had to play STA. That’s a damn tough stretch. This year they had to play Bartow, Lake Minneola, Buchholz and Venice. Lol. that’s night and day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchholz and Venice were as good or better than the teams you list above, other than STA. But, obviously we agree that metro/suburban shift makes it hard to actually call these teams "state champs". 1M is the only class I don't think Lakeland could have won due to Chaminade. I would've included 2M, but if BP could pull it off so could Lakeland. I think it'd be toss-ups with Cocoa, STA, and Columbus. They probably match up worse against Columbus than Cocoa or STA due to QB mobility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venice got thrown around their own stadium by Armwood this year and that years Armwood was light years better than this years. Buchholz didn’t really play anyone. They played some decent teams but no one in the state top 25. All year. Lakeland was the only one and they lost. They were artificially inflated by being undefeated. Even I was guilty and I’ll admit it. But let’s be real. Lakeland went 1-3 vs metro teams and the one win was against a bad team not even in that state top 100. They weren’t winning any metro class this year. Not one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only lost to Lakeland by 1 point and blew out Bartram Trail twice (worse than IMG did). BT also played Mainland and St. Augustine down to the wire….and beat Mandarin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said they were decent. But if they are your best win, then you don’t have much of a resume. And I’m not saying Buchholz stinks. I just said they had a poor schedule and their ranking was artificially inflated (even by me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
