JDHoss Posted November 16, 2024 Author Report Posted November 16, 2024 Last night in Vero Beach was a surprisingly sparse crowd. I guess the 72 degree temperature at kickoff kept people away, and it plummeted to 70 by the end of the game. Quote

JDHoss Posted November 23, 2024 Author Report Posted November 23, 2024 Miramar out of Miami @ Atlantic in Delray Beach in the 2nd round of the FHSAA Class 5A playoffs. Temperature is 69 and people are bundled up like it’s in the low 30’s. Absolutely pitiful crowd on hand. I’d guess there might be 300 people here total. We didn’t get here until halfway through the 2nd quarter after battling I-95 traffic for two hours and forty five minutes to drive 62 miles because of two accidents. 🤬 Atlantic 14 Miramar 8 Half Quote

JDHoss Posted November 30, 2024 Author Report Posted November 30, 2024 Friday Night Lights from Orlando via my in-laws den in Kingsport Vero Beach @ Dr Phillips in a Class 7A regional final. The temperature at kickoff is a bone chilling 60 degrees. Mountain Football 1 Quote
JDHoss Posted November 30, 2024 Author Report Posted November 30, 2024 A couple of side notes: * We’ve been to Doc Phillips before. It’s a really nice facility and from the looks of the parking lot when we were there, pretty affluent as well. * It’s next to Universal Studios, and late in the 3rd or early in the 4th, they will stop play when the nightly fireworks show at Universal Studios starts. * Last week, Vero used a 96 yard kickoff return for a TD with a minute to go to upset Palm Beach Central 21-20.

JDHoss Posted November 30, 2024 Author Report Posted November 30, 2024 Doc Phillips caps a 96 yard drive with a 17 yard TD pass. They have a MASSIVE offensive line for high school. Vero is badly overmatched up front. Doc Phillips 14 Vero Beach 0 10:40 2nd Quote
JDHoss Posted November 30, 2024 Author Report Posted November 30, 2024 Doc Phillips 21 Vero Beach 0 Half Vero had a chance to cut it to 14-7 but turned it over on downs at the 5. They forced a punt and took over at their own 20, but a quick 3 & out led to a punt and a 50 yard TD drive capped by a 27 yard TD pass. The Doc Phillips QB is committed to MTSU. He’s a thick 6’2 208 and a pretty decent athlete. Quote
