I thought it was a Pensacola to Bama label slang, but perhaps just pockets now. Ft Myers Beach likely has a similar feel to that, with a quieter area from the bridge with more upscale accommodations and older visitors as example vs the rowdier younger crowds closer to the bridge from the mainland. Of course I live Alabama but have never been fans of Gulf Shores. Outside of 2 restaurants very limited in good seafood, police are jerks, dirty water, has a cheap feel to it. We are Destin and Okaloosa Island people. Plus I know that area 100x better than Gulf Shores. Tons more to do in Destin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume some local schools benefit from some military personnel kids. Niceville is not that close, but perhaps they do too. Not sure of a commute time. Others closer to the area (like you) know more info. This might as well be a different state here in SoFL for me. Totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The panhandle is really in alot of areas no different than south Alabama and Georgia. Check out Shalimar which is right north of Fort Walton.

RedZone Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Down in South Florida> the (9-11) Killian Cougars shut out national power Stoneman Douglas 1-0 Thursday night handing Stoneman Douglas their 4th loss of the season. That's sumply a shocking result. Stoneman Douglas is in real jeopardy of dropping out of the Top 25. Hate to say I was right, but I was right. That's very difficult on the eyes @Atticus Finch I remember back when Killian played some pretty solid football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLU wasn’t even in the Boras Classic, they are playing in the North Carolina tournament instead…. They just lost 2-1 to Harvard Westlake who was also not in the Boras Classic and who OLU beat earlier this year…. According to the polls, HWL is ranked higher than OLU so OLU should have lost…. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a football player that did a good job on special teams this year.

So that is not why OLu wasn’t in the Boras classic. Which is weird that they weren’t as most of the top teams from the state participated. Cali has no state tournament so that has been the de facto state tourney. Having said that, what a great run for the Monarchs this week beating very good teams and topping it off by beating national #1 Corona. Next is a 3 game series with SM who is Nationally ranked. Trinity league baseball is brutal. The parity is phenomenal as all teams good, but anybody can beat anybody. Unlike football! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former pitcher I kinda cringe at the technology in bats in past 30 years. I remember in college, taking a seed comeback where I got my glove up in the nick of time deflecting the ball and saving me from a temple shot. Didn’t have much brain to start with, but had that hit my melon Simple Jack could have been based on me. I don’t need a fancy exit velocity to tell me that 😂. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 Brother Martin slows Rummel's roll down Ryan Darrah (Arizona State commit) pitched a complete game 3-hitter for Brother Martin. He was simply too good today.....with the bat too. Brother Martin 3 Rummel 1 Rummel is still in 1st in the NOLA Catholic league with a 7-2 record now. Note: Brother Martin's Ryan Darrah was a part of the NOLA East Bank Little League team that won the Little League World Series in 2019. That was a huge deal here. Those kids are spread out all throughout the NOLA Catholic League. Ryan Darrah had 3 doubles in the Little League World Series Champ game. Here's one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They step of out District on Tuesday to play Caldwell Parish (19-8) then have a 3 game series with Ruston (9-19) and close with a OOS contest vs Germantown (16-6) who is MS top 20 and 7A # 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
