Atticus Finch Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 50 minutes ago, badrouter said: "Toughest" in margin only. CAI is better than Venice, and that was a 44-6 win. The Venice game was 7 points as a result of charity. You can keep peddling the one outlier but the results seem pretty conclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You played nobody. You have to be reminded of this yearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suggesting that you're full of shit and overrate practically everything related to Lakeland football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't insult me. You are out on your own. I don't push narratives. I respond to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but they shouldn't be given credit for games they would never play. Same for Lakeland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Bill Buldini is the best in the business I'm sure the Pop Warner schedule you guys played really proved this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last and only state semifinal road win was 2005 at Niceville. STA's last road playoff win was also their last road semifinal win: 2020 at Bloomingdale.

181pl Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Lakewood gave Central a decent showing. Much more respectable than most thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 did Lakeland play national powers? Certainly not. But this might not have been a bad year for them to test the waters outside of our borders. I love to see a Lakeland and Colquitt game.

181pl Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 also, Bill Castle is now 77 years old. He can’t go that much longer. I wonder who would replace him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakeland has four wins against the top 130. STA has one. If expanded to top 300 wins, it's four apiece. STA's best win is over a team from Philadelphia who boasts not a single meaningful win. The state title win for STA was over a team that barely beat Lakewood and lost to Southridge. STA's schedule was not better than Lakeland's this season.

I wonder who would replace him? I think he may get out now. I have to assume all of the transferring is nerve-wracking. They had to suspend starters for disciplinary reasons for both the 3rd and 4th round playoff games. I don't think that's ever happened before. Best to go out on top. To replace him, I have no clue what the admin will do. But, I think they'd do well to pursue Kendrick Stewart from Victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's not even particularly close. This is how you know that badrouter is just bullshitting to coddle his fragile ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
