Made it to the Seabreeze. Excellent place. Missed out on Friendly Tavern. Went to the Conch, Crabby Bills and Caddys on the Beach. All fun places. Breakfast at Sweet Sage or the Frog Pond was also delicious.
I just got back from the Redington Beach, Madera Beach, Indian Rocks Beach area between Clearwater and St. Pete. Really liked that area. Will definitely go back.
I would agree with your last paragraph my friend. Honestly I know NCC will be the team to beat but not on the level of Beechwood. I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 to 10 years NCC and Brossart consolidate.
As a Ludlow Panther fan it is good to see Beechwood finally move up. I'm sure fans of Bellevue and Dayton feel the same way. Yes NCC is coming back to 1A but their enrollment is dropping and they aren't going to be the power team that Beechwood was.
Having viewed JHA post on various Conner threads over the past season he has constantly questioned Coach Stamm and Conner. He has an ax to grind and it's very apparent. He's entitled to his opinion just as you and I are entitled to ours. Enough said.
