Miamidade92

Thomas, Beason, Lewis, Brooks, and not sure who the fifth one is. 

I just realized Taurean Charles went to UF, Northwestern has to be Marvin Jones who went on to play for the Jets in the NFL. 

Miami Jackson, David Little?? Can't think of anyone else that has gone on to the NFL. 

Jon Beason Chaminade

Geno Smith, Miramar

Kevin Carter, Lincoln High School

This question has been bothering me. Last guess, is it Coral Gables?? They haven't done much lately, but they have a rich history. 

Lamont Green. Southridge Senior High. He was the USA Today defensive player of the year in 1994. He won two state titles in high school, but that was more because of the offense that had the Davis brothers and Sedrick Irvin (three D-1 running backs).
He was the number 1 overall recruit in the nation, but never lived up to the hype. Played for the Falcons in the NFL. 

HaHa Clinton-Dix Went to Edgewater for freshman and sophomore years, then played for Dr. Phillips junior and senior years. Played Freeman and Miami Central in the state title game and lost 42-27. 

A true dark horse I see in South Florida is Hialeah High. They are a perennial 4-6 win team that went 9-1 last season. They lost in the first round of the playoffs to South Dade, but they were a young team led by freshmen and sophomores. They just won the 7 on 7 tournament at UM last week and they have some promising players.

Good ending, but that was just a kickoff return for a touchdown.
I think the ending for the 98 Soul Bowl between Northwestern and Jackson or the ending of the State Championship game between Northwestern and Seminole were far more exciting.

Ok, after reading and watching the clip again, I can see why. Truly remarkable. 

I agree 100% with this. Depends on the location and administration's commitment to football. When Miami Booker T Washington reopened in 1999 it was an instant football power because the majority of their students come from the Overtown area of Miami. It reopened to help relieve the overcrowded Miami High. As soon as Booker T reopened, all the athletes went there and Miami High football has never been the same. 
So I agree that location is everything for a starting program.

Miami High almost did it last year. Sedrick Irvin took over the program for one year  They went from doormats to one win from the state championship game last year losing to Atlantic in the semis. They lost their coach and they dropped back down to 4 wins this year. Irvin jumped to Southridge and is at it again. Unfortunately this will become more common and I think high school recruiting is never going away. It has always been around, but in the shadows, now it's out in the open. I wouldn't be surprised if high schools start to get in trouble for recruiting players with cash. There was one five star player here in Miami that was supposedly "bought" and transferred to a rival school after spending his first three years at one school. It was so out in the open that it was even discussed on local sports talk radio. 
Another instance, Hialeah High this year went 9-1 and made it to the playoffs. They are a perennial 4-5 win team. Coincidence? They were led by some promising freshmen. I'd be shocked if those freshmen stayed at that school another year or two when you have Central, Northwestern, Jackson, Booker T, and Carol City within 15 miles.

In 95 Northwestern started out 0-3. They lost to Miami High, Southridge, and Carol City. They never lost after that. NW was led by Nate Webster that year on defense. 

Devonte Freeman didn't take over full time at Central until Brandon Gainer left. Gainer signed with Kentucky, but I don't think he finished there.
Killian was loaded in the early 2000s but they didn't win the state championship until the year after Bobby Washington left. 
One of the best backfields I have ever seen was the 1993 Southridge team. They had three college All-Americans in their backfield, The Davis brothers and Sedrick Irvin. 

I believe Daunte played for Ocala Vanguard

I know this topic will be taboo, but it's starting to come out. High schools buying athletes. Tyrique Stevenson, a 4-5 star athlete has been with South dade  since his freshman year. he just transferred to Southridge for his senior year. Southridge was just taken over by Sedrick Irvin, who took Miami High from 2-7 to the state semifinal game in ONE season. Now he goes to Southridge and is trying to recruit players to that school as well. I've heard form people that he lured Stevenson away form South Dade from anywhere between $5,000-$8500. Last week in South Florida radio it came out on the Joe Rose show. 
http://miami.cbslocal.com/audio/joe-rose-show/ Listen to 4/19 hour 2, minute 36. 
I'm sure this happens all over the state, my question is, CAN something be done about this? Or with the FHSAA rule change, is this legal?

He was at South Dade since he was a freshman. Sedrick Irvin is buying all the top talent in the area....LOL 
He turned Miami High around in ONE season and now he's at Southridge with much more talent around him. Look out for them this year. 

Miami High did great last year because of the recruiting Sedrick Irvin did for the school. They were stacked. He left Miami High to go back home to Southridge. He'll have Southridge bringing in players and they'll be competing for state again this season.
South Dade lost their freshman quarterback to Booker T when the season ended, but they always have athletes all over the field. But, I agree, they're unpredictable. 
Columbus has been by far the most consistent program. You can always count on them reaching at least the second round of the playoffs and sometimes farther. They'll eventually breakthrough and get a state title.
