Clearwater High School

Apopka High School-

May 2nd,2005
 

Its down to the sweet sixteen for the High school girls playoffs,.
The High School has changed over the last two years as the game originally was played with World Cup rules, but two years ago
FHSAA changed the rules. The game is now more suited for speed more or less a track meet as the team with the most speed is
most likey to win.
Seabreez knocked off last years State champs Apopka 20-19 so there is no chance of a repeat champion, but last years runners up Dillard and semi finalist Lake Worth and Dwyer still have a shot at the title. Dr Phillips and Lake Worth are the only undefeated teams.  The game to watch this round is Dwyer vs  Royal Palm Beach at Royal Palm. Both teams have participated in World Cup
Tournaments, with Royal Palm having more experience on there side playing in several  preseason tournaments. Royal Palm Beach will get the edge in this game as four players played for Team USA this past year, who lost to five time defending World Champions
Mexico
19-18 in OT.
Brittany Tesauro, Sam Walker , Kelly Heslin, Stephanie Boraiko, all played for Team USA, however Tesaura and  Walker are both
out with injuries.
Royal Palm Lost to Dwyer 8-6 in their first game of the year.

FOOTBALL
"It's Not just a man's sport anymore"
by Stan Goldstein
Head Flag Football Coach - Chiles H.S.

"Ahh, Springtime Tallahassee" … a time for the sun to awaken from a long winter nap, a time for the gray of winter to give way to the vibrant colors of spring. Sounds of lawn mowers start up again, the laughter of kids playing outdoors fills the air, the sounds of baseball and softball engulf the city. Swimming, sunbathing, gardening, and picnics start to find their way back into peoples lives. But in Tallahassee, these activities take a back seat to the 2nd favorite sporting activity in North Florida, "Spring Football", 2nd only to "Fall Football" in appeal. But wait a minute boys, your show is NOT the only show in town anymore.

The FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) added "Girls Flag Football" as a state wide sanctioned sport. Tallahassee public schools, Chiles, Leon, Lincoln, & Rickards, fielded teams. FAMU will also join the field. Statewide, schools participating were from Jacksonville, Daytona, Orlando, Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Hollywood. Sixteen Districts were set up throughout the state of Florida. Teams in each district can play up to 12 regular season games. The regular season is followed by a District Tournament, a Regional Final, and in culmination, a "Final Eight" tournament is held (this year it will be in Boca Raton).

Chiles High School's 2005 team has a record of 10-2 with seven shut-outs. These include victories over East Lake (27-0) and Palm Harbor University (21-0). Chiles will play Lincoln on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 in the District Tournament. The winner will play the winner of the Leon vs Rickards on Friday, April 29, 2005 for the District Championship.

The evolution of this sport began six years ago ('99-'00) as an experimental sport, stemming from the ever controversial Title IX issue of providing equitable opportunities for females in high school sports. It was another avenue of opportunity for girls to proudly represent their school(s), while participating in an activity that has proven to be very popular amongst the girls whose only football experience to that point was the annual "Powder Puff" tournament that pitted grade levels (within the same school) against each other. By comparison to the other sports on campus, it is a relatively inexpensive sport to operate, which made its' implementation a little easier to justify during a time period where a tight budget was imperative to the school system.

Not everyone, however, embraced the idea of implementing the activity. Several coaches, county-wide, questioned why the district would implement a sport in which there was no opportunity for scholarship. Some coaches were concerned over having to share athletes with other sports. Coaches sharing athletes were concerned about the increased possibility of injury.

Finding space to practice on an already crowded campus was another concern. But, nevertheless, the sport became a reality. Chiles only had 18 girls elect to play the first year
('99-'00). The sport has grown in popularity very, very quickly. Last year, Chiles had 102 girls sign up to play. The Timberwolves were fortunate enough to reach the "State Finals" two year's ago and look forward to the challenge of a new season.

Flag Football at Chiles emphasizes attention to detail and "FUNdamentals", always keeping in mind the first three letters of the word … Coach Goldstein feels if they are having fun learning and participating, then hard work and dedication are an easy sell … and a significant degree of success is almost a certainty.
