Someone made a post about coaching on social media the other day. And it is so very true.
Summarizing it, the post stated that everyone knows more than you and wants your job on Friday nights, but they don’t want your job every other day and month of the year when games aren’t being played.

I’m not sure what has gotten into some of Florida’s school districts lately, but they have clearly gone too far in the wrong direction.
Volunteer forms to get clearance to be on the sideline for shooting photos might be the craziest of them all.

Give the Florida High School Athletic Association a little credit. At least it didn’t wait until a third major hurricane hit the state to make changes to the football schedule.
Last Monday, a press conference was held to announce that the regular season was going to be extended by a week to allow for extra time to get all the games in that might have been impacted by the hurricanes.

I went out to the University of West Florida a couple of weekends ago ready to cover a cross-country meet bright and early on a Saturday morning after a late night of covering football in the rain.
I don’t mind waking up early. I’ve always been an early riser.

The arrival of October means things get a little more interesting when it comes to high school football in the area.
For teams like Pace and Jay, it’s about continuing their respective pushes for the playoffs. The Patriots are the second-best team in Region 1-6A and a top 10 team in the state. Jay is in the same position in the Rural Classification.

I saw a Facebook post a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning that caught my attention. It was on one of the Milton pages and featured photos of several players doing yard work just hours after they walked off the field at Bennett C. Russell Stadium in Navarre. They were holding rakes, working and smiling.

I do some freelance work in the Division III college football world and one of the coaches last week said something interesting that all teams should keep in mind as they go through their respective athletic seasons.
His nationally ranked team, a title contender, had been upset by an unranked opponent at home in week one.

I took a moment to look at the spot in the driveway where our basketball court used to be while on a trip home a couple of weeks ago.
It’s safe to say it doesn’t look the same as it did in the 1980s and early 90s.

High school sports means a lot to people in small towns, big cities and everywhere in between across the country.
It is a big deal to those who follow it, and everyone wants to see their respective high school team be successful. But sometimes it doesn’t always work out that way.

It seems this county is often all feasibility studies and surveys and no real action.
Perhaps this time will be different. Perhaps this time we will finally get the public outdoor pool Santa Rosa County so desperately needs, and that honestly, should have been a reality a long time ago.
