They didn't want to go back but it looks like they are sticking it for one more year. The Shadow Ridge kid was good, but I heard he got hurt and just left. And their backup setter got kicked off the team... And no, Abel, I'm not talking about the 17s for FL Sons. You can set for them, it's ok, I don't want to so I will let you.

you guys think that you are hot nuts cause you are finally having a good year and you might acctually have a ligit shot at winning states this year. I'm just curious as to why people from South Florida think this. Once again I will explain...South Florida has more teams, therefore, 6 South teams go to states and only 2 Central teams go to states. Over the past couple of years, YES, South Florida has more State Championships, but overall, Central Florida has been just as good if not better in some cases. While bad South teams get the luxury of walking into the state tournament, talented Central teams are knocking each other out in districts. Last year South Florida fielded two good teams...River and Coral Park. After that, any top 6 Central team would beat the 3rd team from South and even Coral Park. Thank you!

the only reason there is talk about NORTH vs SOUTH is because there is this web page... before you would go to a tourney and not know anything about any teams because we are so far apart... but now you post a thread asking about a team and your going to get some answers... the south teams think they are better because we have all the accolades so far, more championships, more tourney wins and just more teams... which means more chances for better teams... once you guys get more schools with programs and then they split into 2 divisions like 6a-3a and 2a-1a then there will be the debate of what class is better... its no ones fault its just they way people are... and until the north wins some championships its going to stay like that...

I have already acknowledged that fact that the South has more championships. It's the pathetic depth that I am talking about. And by North I'm assuming that you are talking about Bolles because they are currently the only team located in North Florida. So yes, South Florida has a lot more teams than North Florida. The ratio is around 102-1.

lol i meant central... we just call you guys north down here... well you cant really consider about 30 teams real... booker t, central, jackson, homestead... just to name a few, they are there because the school wont get rid of them, but they have no coaching or anything... and tallahassee chiles is another north team =) im sure if you guys had the same amount of teams up there it would be the same situation... there are only enough good coaches to go around.

nick you need to chill, we hate it when killian palmetto southwest sunset ransom westmister varela reef are all fighting for that one spot to go to states and the north dade teams suck and they have an easy way to states... same with the broward teams, gibbons and st thomas northeast mccarthy cypress bay are all fighting for the same state spot as well. then you have teams like spanish river and jupiter who have nobody in their way to make it to states, orlando teams arent the only ones who beat eachother up and take eachother out on the way to states...
as i recall, last year for instance (that you keep bringing up), you had DP and Lake Mary represent you guys as your best teams going to states. coral park took out lake mary and had a horrible game against DP and lost... killian took the first set from spanish river and DP just couldnt hang with spanish river.
as for the other teams at the state tourney: wellington was a joke making it to states, archibishop mccarthy was playing with their best player hurt (gibbons taking out st thomas and mccarthy taking out gibbons on the way to get there) ... southbroward had robert richie (who was one of the top 3 players in the state last year) and he alone kept his team competative with spanish river
im just saying, we all know some teams have an easier way to states, but central florida teams arent the only ones who have a tough path to states! there are plenty of solid teams that compete down south for that one spot!

7 competative teams for 2 spots last year, sounds reasonable to me!
this year: Bishop Moore, Apopka, Lake Mary and Winter Springs fighting for a state spot
Lyman, Olympia, and Timber Creek fighting for the other spot... once again sounds fair to me!
yes they are some very strong teams, but in the south we have the same situation....
Palmetto, Southwest, Killian, Sunset, Ransom fighting for one state spot
Gibbons, St Thomas, McCarthy fighting for one state spot
Columbus, Coral Park, Belen, Miami High all in the same district
so all i am saying is stop complaining! yes you have great competition to get to states, but most of the south has great competition as well and alot of south teams get knocked off before the state tournament as well.
your point is that we dont get to see alot of your good teams in the state tournament, well you dont get to see alot of our teams either!!!!

granted a few of thoughs teams might not be on olympia or lymans level, but they can still play ball... alot of inconsistancy from some of thoughs teams i agree, but if they show up to play, all of them can compete!
yes this year you guys have some teams to brag about, but do you see my point? you have teams that are good but wont make it to states, and so do we!
and nobody likes the regions where teams like spanish river and jupiter have no competition and have almost a garenteed ride to states! its not just the central florida teams that can complain about that!

dude relax i misunderstood what u said thats all. no need to have an attack Who said I was having an attack? If I recall, you were the one freaking out that someone else was going to set for Sons 17s. I was joking around in my post because I graduated last year from BM meaning I am ineligable to set for a 17s team, let alone one in South Florida. I am setting for Missouri Baptist next year though. ;D And like I said above, I am chill, just a bit confused. These are the teams you named "killian palmetto southwest sunset ransom westmister varela reef" competing for one spot... 2 of those teams MAX, are legit.

this year, soutwest palmetto sunset and killian are legit (and when ransom desides to show up, they are sick too but inconsistant as hell)... but every year between all of thoughs schools it is a constant struggle. granted westmister hasnt been nuts for a couple years, and reef and varela arent too good at all THIS year, but we are talking in general. not just this year. so that was the point i was making. this year is a down year for reef varela and westminster, agreed. but you were talking about boone and dp so i thought id bring up thoughs schools

No I understand. I see what your saying. My point isn't that Central Florida is better. My point is that people keep saying that this is Central's good year when they have been just as equal as South Florida, yet people keep mentioning that South is better.

lake mary played horrible against cp. u remeber in the spring sting that year that lake mary beat htem. last year was a tight race with dp lake mary bm boone timber creek winter springs excuses are like not a very nice persons, everyone has them and they stink. lake mary played horrible against cp at states just like cp played horrible against lake mary at the spring sting. and nick, saying that the top 6 central florida teams would beat CP is a bit bold. wouldnt doubt that they would beat the 3rd team south florida sent but CP only lost to 3 central florida teams last year. Lake Mary, DP, and unfortunately they came out flat at the spring sting and lost to lyman. idk where lyman was ranked last year so they lost to 2 of the top 6 teams. the only other team they played in the top 6 was BM, and you know the outcome there.
