Venice High School football

Venice is one of the largest schools in Florida.

Coming soon

Florida is coming to Hometown Line

You’re in the right place, and the whole site is open to you. We only show scores a state’s association lets us read and credit, and Florida’s aren’t readable yet. Here’s how Venice gets on, and how to play in the meantime.

Play this Friday anyway

Every game on the board is open to you, in any state. Call the week’s biggest games, or follow a state next door.

Getting Venice on the site

Florida isn’t published yet. The FHSAA's schedules and scoreboard are MaxPreps, which we do not use, and its own site allows no reuse without written permission.

In the meantime, a coach, athletic director or team manager can put a school’s season on the site through the Team Desk, and the letter below still asks them to publish.

Ask them

Write to Florida High School Athletic Association or your school's athletic director. Address it to the association’s office or your athletic director — the contact page on their site has it.

Your school (optional)

Subject: Schedules and scores for Florida high-school football

Dear Florida High School Athletic Association,

I am a fan of Venice. I follow the season on Hometown Line (hometownline.com), a free game of skill and prediction for high-school football. There is no money in it: readers predict results and are scored on how well they read the games.

Florida is not on the site yet because Florida High School Athletic Association does not publish schedules and scores of its own; they sit on a third-party scoreboard whose terms allow no reuse. I am writing to ask that Florida High School Athletic Association publish its schedules and scores itself, or as a feed, so that any site may read and credit them. Hometown Line credits Florida High School Athletic Association on every game.

Thank you for considering it.

Yours sincerely,
A supporter of Venice

What is on record

Wherereal: Central Florida, FL; A real programme in a real place.
Sizereal: 2,562 students; From the school's own article. One of the largest schools in its state.
Classificationa label: Class 7A; How its own state labels that size. Ladders differ between states, so this is for display; the model uses the size band.
Groupingthis site's: District 2-7A (FL); This site's grouping, built by region so travel and rivalry look plausible. It is not the state association's alignment and will not match a real bracket.

The programme

Notable alumni: 16 in all, 10 of them in football; Counted from the school’s own article, which lists people notable enough to have been written up. A programme with none has not produced none.

Everything above comes from Venice’s own article — except the few lines that name a different one — and is real. Hometown Line also runs a scoring model over Florida high school football. Every prediction it makes is the model’s own. Where Florida publishes a schedule the site may read, the games ahead are that schedule; where it does not, the fixtures ahead are generated so the model has something to predict. A result is shown only where its source is named.
