Right. Not only did he change the subject but he used the exact metric that I was criticizing to support his point. Notice that I didn't mention Plainview's calpreps rating because that would've undercut my original and undisputed point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2006 was a damn good game and matchup There wasn't a broadcast of the game available, so I had to listen to a radio/audio stream. That was a pretty stressful listen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted July 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Also Dillard and Ely were perennial contenders in the 80s/90s and early 2000s. Before STA lead the nation in HS players in the NFL it was Ely. https://www.google.com/amp/s/ibiartpompano.wordpress.com/2014/01/15/thats-a-lot-of-nfl-football-players-from-pompano/amp/ Here’s an interesting post (not 100% sure if accurate) No Florida high school has had as many combined Parade and USA Today All-Americans as Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach. Ely has had 9 players earn those honors. The amount of talent this school has produced is amazing. Patrick Peterson, who currently plays for the Arizona Cardinals, is probably Ely's most decorated player to ever don an NFL uniform. Below are some of Ely's better know players. *1978 James Jones-RB/U of Florida and NFL *1987 Harvey Thomas-OL/U of Florida *1990 Tyrant Marion-DE/Florida St 1990 Zack Crockett-FB/Florida St and NFL *1990 Dou Innocent-RB/U of Mississippi and NFL 1990 Kevin McDougle-QB/Notre Dame *1991 Henri Crockett-LB/Florida St and NFL 1992 Al Harris-DB/Texas A&M and NFL star 1994 Corey Simon-DL/Florida State(consensus All-American) and NFL; was a USA Today All-American 1995 Tyrone Carter-DB/U of Minnesota(consensus All-American) and NFL 1998 Jerome McDougle-DE/U of Miami and NFL *2002 Andrew Bain-OL/U of Miami *2002 Tyrone Moss-RB/U of Miami 2002 Clint Session-LB/U of Pittsburgh and NFL 2005 Walter McFadden-DB/Auburn and NFL 2005 Joshua Moore-DB/Kansas State and NFL 2006 JT Thomas-LB/U of West Virginia and NFL *2007 Patrick Peterson-DB/LSU(2X All-American) and NFL star; was also a USA Today hs All-American; he was know as "Patrick Johnson" at Ely 2009 Jabari Price-DB/U of North Carolina and NFL 2012 Rashard Robinson-DB/LSU and NFL *Parade All-American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted July 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Here’s a good idea of what type of teams Ely had back in those times. This is STA’s 2009 stacked team with NFL talent all over Playing Ely in the playoffs. And that Ely team didn’t have a Patrick Peterson like the 2005 team did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the biggest intra-country games in decades. Yeah I remember the Hollywood Hills posters talking smack in that era. Was like 2-3 years they were strong, but nothing like how Dillard and Ely that had battled with STA for a long period of time. When I was in HS at STA I remember Dillard/Ely/Deerfield beach games were for the most part “pick em” games according to the local media.

I was out of town and where I was didn't have the broadcast. I was never able to see that one and it still pisses me off. Hopefully one day that one will be put online so I can finally watch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Gwinnett did beat Armwood on a WR pass to a TE, so maybe they did figure out our secret.

I like this. But it's sad that before I clicked on the notification, I already knew you were going to mention something about my age. Here's the thing that catches a lot of people off guard: I don't look like the person to know a lot of sports, especially considering my age. But I've done a lot of research on sports historically for fun. I've watched countless highlights to the point that I can quote the announcer's exact words in the same style and timing. I just like absorbing information from wherever I can, whether it be sports or education. I'm like a sponge...but less useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Lakeland-X was available anywhere, but definitely not in SoCal where I was. But, yeah, it's bizarre Lakeland-DLS isn't available anywhere now. I even tried searching ESPN+ for it and nothing came up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 If there’s a team that could take Lakeland it’s Byrnes. That team looks damn impressive. What ever happened to that QB Willy Korn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
