For sure, I want to say he was mid-to-late 80s, like class of 86 or 87

South is in the SE part of Plantation and Plantation High is in the NE part.

Not sure if you had the pleasure of footballing with my former coworkers Bobby Gregory (aka lil Bob or RG3) and Kristian Bie as well. Both were 03 I believe.

The people who switch allegiances solely by virtue of stepping on those campuses were never Canes fans in my estimation. It clearly was not an important enough fixture of their identity. It is unthinkable in my family to change one's allegiance. Laughable.

Wow, what a topic. I think I basically agree with you. Without getting into too much detail, my thought is that once an area becomes excessively urbanized (or suburbanized), it loses a larger "regional" identity and then either becomes 1) generic; or 2) develops a localized culture instead...

South County does lean more heavily toward the Canes. The Palm Beach Post used to have a great Sports section in the 1990s and early 200s, but that gradually trailed off. They had a dedicated beat for all of the big 3, and an expansive saturday morning section on the high schools. The had a...

Before moving up the coaching ranks, Shannon actually coached the middle school kids at St. Marks for a year and worked with my mom. Pretty amazing for a dude with one eye. Louis Graham was huge. Lakes always had a good basketball team. Jackie couldn't shoot. His offensive game was not...

Did you play with Manuel, Hodges, and Abe Elam?

I remember going to GC to run a track meet for the first time in spring of 02. They'd fill 30-40% of the **** stadium for a track meet! Where the **** else does that happen but Belle Glade? What a universe.

Devin H was a one-man team. My best track teammate by far.

I live in Plantation (middle of Broward) now and the Canes are clearly dominant in terms of fan support here.

West Palm Beach is a divided city in terms of fan support. By the time you hit Jupiter, it's very clearly Gator Country.

One of the really unfortunate things about transfer culture is that the parents of the transfers (who are generally the best players) don't become attached to a single program. That lack of attachment, in turn, means they don't continue to show up for games, join booster clubs, donate, and work...

The population of Belle Glade has increased since 2010, but it's a place that people leave when they can. It's always been poor as ****. Belle Glade is the roughest place I've ever seen in this country, and it's not even close (I've been to 42 states).

To add something else, as is common for Florida natives, we tend to move further north in the state in order to recreate the Florida of our youth as the state has become more crowded. St. Lucie County in particular is full of Palm Beach County refugees, and that is going to lend itself to a lot...

I played against him in basketball too.

Just off the top of my head, Miami: Micanor Regis, Santonio Thomas, Kenny Berry, Damien Berry, Travis Benjamin; Florida State: Kelvin Benjamin, Jesse Hester, Anquan Boldin, Antone Smith; Ohio State: Santonio Holmes and Albert Dukes; Brad Banks (Iowa), Alphonso Smith (Wake Forest), Nu'Keese...

They got more players than anyone else, but they did not "own" the Glades by any means. That's just not a correct statement.

I live in Plantation now but grew up in West Palm Beach and went to high school in Riviera Beach. I have not followed recruiting in the area closely in a long time. However, @RattlerCane305's post above is correct, and I will add a few things here. Coach Daniels can't be replaced at Dwyer...
