From SI.com

Cristobal is gone to coach FIU

Mario Cristobal was hired Tuesday by Florida International, luring the Miami assistant from his alma mater with a five-year contract and the chance to be one of the youngest coaches in Division I-A football. The 36-year-old Cristobal becomes the first Cuban-American head coach in major college football. Only Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, 32, is younger in Division I-A.

Lake O football programs hope to reach state

By Lindsay Jones
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

BELLE GLADE ? The baseball hat star wide receiver Deonte Thompson so often wears is maroon and gold to show his loyalty to Glades Central. But the words embroidered across the front - "Muck City" - are to show his pride in an area far bigger than school boundaries.
Ten miles north on State Road 441, Pahokee players are wearing the same hat, but the colors are red, white and blue.





Muck City isn't a real city. It has no borders, no designation on the Florida map, but the football players and fans that live here in this 30-mile stretch of Lake Okeechobee's southeastern shoreline, know their "city" is home to some of the very best high school football in the state.
Especially this year.
The four schools that form "Muck City" - Glades Central (Class 3A), Clewiston (2A), Pahokee (2B) and Glades Day (1A) - have each advanced to the third round of the playoffs.
With wins Friday, Clewiston, Pahokee and Glades Day can each earn a spot in the state finals Dec. 1-2 at Dolphin Stadium. Glades Central needs two more wins to make it to the Class 3A championship Dec. 8.
The schools usually reach the post-season but it's rare that all four are still alive after two rounds. And with each school having a realistic chance to play in Miami, these teams know this year could be special.
"Now that we're all here and still playing, people are really noticing," Clewiston coach Larry Antonacci said.
And while no coach wanted to look past Friday's games, it was hard to ignore the December possibilities.
"It would set a place in history for the Muck," Pahokee coach Leroy Foster said.

From the Florida site...update on Deonte at the AA practices.

Huge Freudian slip in the article by Deonte which favors the Gators, FWIW...

Don't think it meant much at all, some of these kids play the recruiting game REALLY well. Let's not forget that just a couple weeks ago, USC supposedly was the favorite by far.

I don't recall USC ever being the favorite...Florida has always been in the driver's seat as far as I am concerned. Miami always posed the biggest threat, but either way I don't see him leaving the state. Time will tell, but that is my gut feeling.

I was referring to my personal feelings on Deonte. I should have worded it different, but what I am saying is that despite what he has told different websites, I have never thought Deonte was going anywhere but Miami or Florida.

How many spots does Florida have left in their recruiting class. They have to be almost finished if they are turning a recruit away. The fact that Miami already has 5 WR's in this class might help our chances. I would love to see Thompson and Wright after the 3 misses we had at the AAA game.
