I see a lot of excitement from coaches and fans in Florida in the wake of Georgia changing the rules for transferring at the high school level.
The state athletic association there is inserting a bylaw stating any athlete who transfers multiple times within the state after his or her ninth grade year is ineligible to compete for one year.

I’m not sure what you think of the best-of-three series for high school baseball in Florida, but I liked it.
Apparently the FHSAA wasn’t as big of a fan as it as the series set-up will a look a little different in 2026.

The longer I’m in the sports writing business, the faster four years of high school seem to go by.
It seems like just last week the senior student-athletes in the Class of 2025 were starting out their high school sports careers.

It’s the year 2000. I’m at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. Philip Rivers is the quarterback of the Wolfpack and there is no shortage of hype around him.
In the press box high above the stadium in a nationally televised game on ESPN, I’m putting together a running game story and just praying I get a phone line connected to my laptop in time to send before deadline that night.

Nearly 365 days ago, the Jay baseball team was on a field on a muggy night in Fort Myers celebrating its first state championship in more than a half century.
Last Tuesday night in Bonifay, nearly two hours from home, the season came to end as the Royals lost Game 2 to top-ranked Holmes County by a 3-1 score.

It’s time to take a step back in the sports world and restore some sanity to it.
Because when you have someone make a threat to shoot an umpire, that’s a problem. A big problem.

It’s easy to focus on the athletic talent of an athlete. But don’t ignore what they do in the classroom either.
There are a ton of athletes who get the job done on and off the court, not only locally at the high school level, but when they go off to college as well.

With all the talent Florida produces from an athletic standpoint, you’d think coaches here were some of the highest paid in the nation.
Think again. Florida coaches are underpaid, a lot of times underappreciated, and in most instances, overworked. Coaches in surrounding states tend to make more.

When I originally wrote this column last week, there were openings for the boys basketball head coaching positions at two schools in Santa Rosa County.
But I had to make a few changes as Milton has since filled its void. Navarre’s job is still open but will be filled at some point later this spring.
