Here’s the deal on why sofla schools are truly dominate over everyone else in the state of Florida but not necessarily the top programs throughout the country....
Most, not all, of sofla schools get away with pure speed, athleticism and dawg. They’ll play cover 0 or 1, lock down your receivers, put everyone in the box and bring it to your a**.... The offense literally has 2 seconds to make something happen and many offensive lines throughout the state can’t handle those athletes and being outnumbered
Out of state POWERHOUSES (not just anybody), usually has GREAT offensive lines and really really good schemes to attack the freestyle defenses that you see in sofla. There’s truly only two schools in the state of Florida that can do this, STA and IMG (occasionally you’ll see the top sofla teams whoop them too)
All in all, point is sofla kids are DAWGS and it takes true powerhouse programs with really good offensive line play and coaching to beat them. If the state of Florida ever stepped up the pay scale for coaching, things would be crazy down here...
