Who wins? I have STA(I'll go into further detail later in the week).

[AdamKurkjian]

When Prattville lost their DC to Daphne last year (Daphne promptly won state, NOT a coincidence), they suddenly lost the ability to shut down good teams despite all that DI talent. Coppet is going to run wild.

On the flip side, you need a better passing game than Prattville has to keep STA's defense honest. They're going to keep the Prattville QB contained and eventually the Raiders pull away.

STA wins by 2 TDs.

STA seems to be loaded, so I'll go with them. I don't know much about Prattville.

My only issue is STA's QB.

- I know the STA D can shut Pratville down, maybe to the point Pratville stays in the teens in points scored. I know Ayoola can do some damage, but against a fast D I'm just not sure what Lescano can do when the pressure pours in and he HAS to throw.

Slight edge to Pratville because of that, and the game being in Alabama.

- I need to see Lescano against the big boys before I can say it's Aquinas as we've come to expect since 2008.

I remember a few months ago the word was that STA wasn't expected to have a great team this season having lost too many starters. How things have changed. One thing for certain is they're undefeated in OOS games and if that means anything should be a great game. --- Just out of curiosity; I posted this about 3:25pm CDT. Why is the time up above so much off?

Sta is undefeated but some of the OOS teams were slugs.. Trinity's opponents all won state the same year as Trinity played them.

Oh God.

Trinity played teams from Arkansas and Utah on top of a 2A champion from Louisiana. In every game Trinity was bigger, faster and stronger than their small school opponent.

STA played big-school defending state champions from Georgia and South Carolina. They also played a state finalist from Ohio's largest class and a 5A playoff team from Texas.

Out of Sta's defense they also played Upper Arlington Ohio and a unranked team from Texas while Trinity was playing the Arkansas state champ on the same day at the same place.
STA is Floridas's superstar recruiting team but to make a name for yourself you really need to play a real power from the elite football state not an unranked one..

Indeed you are correct. STA seems to always play teams that had been good the year before they play them.

Lescano doesn't have to be a star. STA does a great job of putting its quarterbacks in situations where they can make safe throws that turn into huge gains.

Ayoola is good back, no question. Coppet (Coppett?) is the guy Prattville will have to game-plan more for though, because he is a home-run threat every time he touches the ball.

Look, Prattville has great talent on D and they'll be very experienced and all that. But I am not sure whether they can stop STA enough times to win. Maybe 2 TDs is a little much, but I honestly don't expect STA to have trouble scoring points. Prattville, I do.

Um, Byrnes was beastmode the year STA played them. Elder was a state finalist in Ohio. STA plays good teams, period.

[lamarfan]

Maybe, but not when it comes to Texas.. I guess I'll give them Skyline just a good team.

[lamarfan]

Kinda bigger and faster like when STA played Texas Skyline but Skyline has never won anything close to a state Championship.
Alot of states now hide behind one or two recruiting schools for star power..
Not here, we are kick **** deep in good publics. I would like to see Florida to hold their own with out leaning on one super star team like Jersey does. And I dont like that Jersey gets a free MNC just because their is nobody standing in their way like there is here.

Dallas Skyline was #17 in Texas before losing to Glades Central and STA. Then reeled off 9 straight wins in Texas. They were a legit top 20 team.

You think the Arkansas 4A champion is as good as the South Carolina 4A runner-up or the Ohio D1 runner-up?

Don't listen to him, Adam. He's just upset that Don Bosco is the worst scheduler of any national power. Multiple 4-6 Ohio teams, bad Pennsylvania prep schools, weak Baltimore prep schools, etc.

Skyline is consistently overrated every year in Texas. They play the little sisters of the poor game in game out, then when they play a solid playoff team, they lose EVERY TIME. They are in one of the worst districts in Texas 5A. The Dallas City schools are pretty bad. Here's something I wrote somewhere else.

I don't know about Cocoa, but Skyline has a bad habit of beating up on the weak and getting beaten up by the strong. IE. Not showing up in big games.

Bosco plays three top 15 teams this year.

CC was terrible last year.

You have played one strong team, Brynes and although you won it was not an teerible endorsement of discipline and coaching. it hurt your teams perception. Maybe you can start to undo this over the weekend.

You are the best troll out there, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Funny how you're not counting their win over Elder, 13-2, #2 in Ohio - a state you claim is better than FL.

And of course the only reason you'll never acknowledge Camden County as a good win is because CalPreps dogged them at #847. They were 10-2 with wins by scores of: 51, 50, 45, 49, 41, 21, 51, 40, 10 (playoffs), and 3 (Miami Central). Lost 42-24 to Aquinas, and by 2 to Hillgrove.

Yeah, they were terrible.

You're the best troll there is, you keep it up!

After losing 6-0 & then 31-3 to STA; Skyline reeled off 9 wins in a row before being shutout 38-0 by DeSoto (DeSoto's only shutout of the season) who lost 2 weeks later 72-48 to RRSP.
