Classic Games


Recommended Posts

Took this from the Florida board. The Lakeland/STA clashes for the last 2 decades. Pretty cool that this rivalry was only born from just playing in the playoffs and finals. If you have any links to some classic games please share

Bro, HSFB was so different in 2008 and before. In this more potent, modern-era of recruiting and super teams, Lakeland would never be a successful. And the best is yet to come!

They beat STA 4 years ago in the title game soundly!

I saw. My point was they’ll never ever be able to beat STA six out of eight times again. 

You can’t predict the future! What are you some time bender? An oracle? A mage? How do you know? Are you from the future sent back in time to let us know that publics will not be beating power privates anymore? Tell whoever sent you we don’t believe it and Lakeland will be loading up on transfers to whoop ass. 
 

Just kidding, Lakeland is in the suburban class now so they can’t play STA anymore

Lakeland had 3 pros.  Pounceys et al   

I get what you saying.  But they beat very good STA teams didn’t they?

I agree LL was good way back then. Unfortunately for them, today's Pouncey's are matriculating at IMG and STA. 

Which is the ruination of HS football. It's now just bastardized HS basketball. If real teams stop scheduling the recruited, fake super teams (you know who I'm talking about) and put them in their own small leagues of super teams, those teams eventually will go away, because unlike HS basketball, a hell of a lot of folks still like watching and following Friday Night Football.

Totally disagree. The game of HSFB is currently at its apex in every aspect because of the power privates that have emerged over the last 10+ years.

Based on what GSB, increased revenue, viewership, game attendance?

All of the above. Never before have the rankings been so popular, the number of nationally-televised games is rising each season, thousands of games are being watched annually via paid streaming services, and the top HSFB recruits are all getting lucrative NIL deals.

What national game attendance has spiked due to power privates? Do you know who holds the record for OOS game attendance?

Talking on the digital-side. Over 10,000 fans nationwide paid to watch the MD/DV game on Flo last season. That's $200,000+ for one game. In the past, that never would've been possible.

That’s because digital media wasn’t as widely available. You don’t think public school Duncanville and Texas had anything to do with that?

The match-up was a very desirable one. CA vs TX games involving Tier One teams will always garner high ratings. I expect SJB/Allen to do similar numbers. Liberty/Cita and Jones/DV not so much.

My point is you pit two highly regarded publics and you’d get chart popping results too.  Let a Texas top team play a Miami central or a top GA team and you’d see similar numbers

Not true. The two TX games involving MD and SJB will garner much higher ratings than the other two (Liberty/Jones).

That’s because liberty and Jones aren’t highly regarded.

To the uneducated. Liberty has been a Top 200 team over the last five seasons. In Florida, Jones is T20, which means they're no joke. 

Nationally they aren’t highly regarded teams, you just provided evidence of that. Atascocita either.
