STARaiders2014

If they beat BTW then yes they will go undefeated. However, it's always tough with BTW standing in their way of that

MaxPreps in their way too early poll has Aquinas at 16, and Mainland at 19. Aquinas has another great squad coming back in 2015 with a state championship coach in Harriot filling the void left by Rocco. Mainland was one game away from the 6A title game losing to Miami Central. I'm really interested to see how they do this season. Central will be strong again and has a great shot to 4peat in class 6A. Will be interesting to see where these two teams end up at the end of 2015.

http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/fhsaa/468705e38e 1997 6A Title game between Lake City Columbia and Miami Carol City. The Chiefs going for their 2nd title in a row with Columbia making their first appearance in 30yrs! Enjoy the nostalgia a little columbiahighfan By the way look at the Columbia fan base at this game. I know it was close to Gainsville, but THAT IS A CROWD!!

Welcome to the site 56Mustang! You are right Merritt Island had some great teams in the 70s, I am sorry that I overlooked them. Three undefeated seasons is impressive, but when you do it in the highest classification? That's incredible! Pensacola Pine Forest I believe actually won a national title in the mid-late 80s. Either 86 or 87? Cannot remember the year, but I've watched that game and man that team was impressive!

You are right there. That makes sense. I don't know the idea of 9 classifications and 9 state champions just to me doesn't sound right. I don't like the idea

I truthfully don't think this would work. Zoe since you'd be moving TC and NFC up a class would you also move STA and Cardinal Gibbons up on too?

Interesting! Trenton looks like they are getting ready for a big season!! Congrats to your 3 players with offers as well!!

Suwannee in the late 80s I believe and NFC in the 90s. You're right Josh very elite company! I think Cocoa can knock them off and some say they should've done it last year. Bolles won't be the team to do it though, no offense to them, but the last couple of years have proven they don't have the true athletes to truly take it BTW. Very few teams do.

The words "Madison County" and "non-factor" have not been used in the same sentence like that in a very long time. Will be different not to see them competing if what Josh says happens with continued declining enrollment.

That is true Josh. I think Trenton has a pretty solid team this season though. While it wouldn't shock me to see them get beat by one of those teams, it also wouldn't shock me to see them take it all the way

After the Spring game I think Hamilton County will actually take the district title. I think Madison will be abit down in 2015. As for Dis. 6 going with Ft White right now.

I actually think Cocoa has better shot than Bolles. I really like what they have up there in 2015. That is not to take anything away from Bolles they are a great team and Corky is never to be doubted, but I just don't think their offense matches up vs a team with the kind of athletes that BTW has.

Let's forget about the 41 game win streak for just a moment and talk about BTW's chance to win a fourth straight title at the 4A level. They have a pretty good chance to do it despite having their 3rd HC in 3 seasons. I think the only competition they will see will be from Cocoa and that shouldn't be until deep in the playoffs if not the regional finals. I do know there was some talk of Cocoa going North in this new re-alignment however, I have not heard much on that. Either way I think BTW has a pretty good chance to win their 4th straight title and 5th since 2007. To put that in perspective if STA does not win another title in 2015 they will tie STA for the most titles during that stretch at 5(STA won in 2007, 08, 10, 12 and 14). What are your thoughts on their chances?

I gotcha well sometimes those are necessary

My money is on Trenton in 2015 to make another run to Orlando. I think they can win it all too!

Madison dropping off some wouldn't be a huge shock to me, but I am a little surprised by this. How good is Hamilton County supposed to be in 2015?

That is very true! Is Duval Charter really a worthy opponent or more so a test to see where Columbia needs to improve?

I agree 100% I'll be watching that game closely and I know you'll be keeping us updated on here too

I think it is designed so that the FL teams play OOS teams. I could be wrong, but since this is my 1000th post I hope I'm not

Still was a great season for Columbia! I know that crowd they brought to the swamp was legendary!!

Bro you took me down memory lane with that Soul Bowl 2 game in 1998. Jackson coach fired I think not too long after the game. Stunned a lot of people outside of that rivalry, but it was all or nothing.

Where is Keys Gate Charter by the way? I have never heard of that school.

If they go undefeated without a doubt yes in my opinion they should contend for another national title.

Lincoln in 2012 put a scare into me when they took that opening kick off to the house in Orlando. They always have great athletes it seems like no matter what the year so I feel like they should always be in the mix. However, Columbia if they get their act together as you said is definitely a team to watch I think.

Who is in that region?
