Morning Coffee with FLN on Substack 04302024
Welcome to today’s post! We’re previewing the Girls 1A semifinals and the Boys Region 1, both classes, today!
There were plenty of national polls released and Players of the Week to catch up with on the FLN website, and we’ll get to them today.
I’m starting to read up on the FHSAA’s stance on Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) and we’ll bring that info to you too!
So, let’s get to the previews and we’ll finish with these previews for Boys Region 2-4 tomorrow.

Girls 1A Previews
Region 1 1A: #1 Ponte Vedra (12-7) hosts #4 Oak Hall (14-4)
These two teams played back on February 14th and PV won17-3. They have five common opponents between them (St Aug 2x for PV) and Ponte Vedra has swept all 6 games, while Oak Hall is 4-1, losing by a goal to Episcopal and PV winning by 3.
Goals per Game: Ponte Vedra 13.1 Oak Hall 14.9
Assists per Game: Ponte Vedra 6.2 Oak Hall 9.0
Shots on Goal per Game: Ponte Vedra (NA) Oak Hall (NA)
Goals Against per Game: Ponte Vedra 8.7 Oak Hall 6.3
Draw Controls per Game: Ponte Vedra 13.2 Oak Hall 14.4
This is a good example of a game with multiple factors; PV losing a key player early, Oak Hall starting off 1-2 against good teams and coming on over the course of the season. Ponte Vedra with all that experience from last year and a mostly upperclass team in general, while Oak Hall is younger. Ponte Vedra moves on to the next round.
