They run from Dade? When did they do that? Is there proof of contact to coach Castle from a prominent Dade team and he declined the smoke?

You are worried that's why you're always talking about Lakeland, or Lake Wales, or anything involving Polk County teams.

You always worried about who they play or where the game is being played. They are in your mind so much they should be charging you rent.

But you can be sure of this, they don't care or think about you around here.  Write that down ✍️

 

Ok

Looks like Lakeland is hosting SJP on 9/8! LFG! 

Throwing some public school in a rural county to the wolves who boast top ranked college prospects and a roster assembled with 3 different states (Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey)

This is an ant against a sledgehammer

In its Spring Game yesterday evening Lakeland beat Lake Minneola 44-32. 

Positives: 

- Nearly all the things that were frustrating about the team under Castle are gone. They run no-huddle all game long. They have a Power 5 passing QB and three Power 5 WRs to go with one (maybe two) Power 5 backs. Penalties weren't as much of an issue (though they crept in in the 2nd half).

- Jamar Taylor Jr. (WR) looked REAL good.

- RB Jordan Henderson, a Lake Wales transfer, looks like he may end up being the next great back. 

- The back 7 on defense is really fast.

Negatives: 

- The DL, as it stands now, is weak. They need at least one major transfer there to beat some of the teams they'll face.

- The supposed starting RB, Rucker, appeared to have a suffered a major (ACL?) injury and could be lost for the season. 

- The most highly recruited player on the roster at the moment, is almost certainly not only overrated, but the weakest link in the secondary. He gave up some huge plays in awful situations. LM had a 4th and 14 early and easily burned them deep for a TD 🤦‍♂️

If they can get a couple of good transfers to play in the trenches, I think they'll be fine and have a good season. If not for the breakdowns on defense and the injury, it would have been a smashing success for new coach Marvin Frazier.

We recently published a thread called "The Meteoric Rise of Thompson AL." This analysis is the direct opposite of that. I'd call it "The Meteoric Downfall of Lakeland."

This once-relevant program that was a stalwart of the Top 25 in the 80s is now headed towards a freefall into the abyss of HSFB anonymity. You can't spell Castle without STALE!

Season- National Rank

22- 25

21- 327

20- 882

19- 94

18- 19

17- 271

16- 418

15- 450

14- 833

13- 980

12- 1,510

11- 513

10- 174

09- 175

08- 192

07- 191

However, the Dreads have a chance for some redemption on 9/8/23 when they host #9 SJP.

Downfall? You mean two top 25 and three top 100 finishes nationally in the last 5 years?
