    Believed by some to be the greatest running back tandem ever at the University of FL.  #22 was a Parade All-American in high school and lead his team to a state title.  He was an honorable mention All-American at UF and a first round draft pick.  Spent 10 years in the NFL, most playing for the Seahawks.  Was a Pro Bowler twice.  #27 below was an honorable mention All-American at UF and a first round draft pick.  In his four years as a Gator, he rushed for well over 3000 yards and 30 TD's.  He spent 8 years in the NFL with the Bears and was a 4-time Pro Bowler.

    Who are they and where did each play in high school?

    Which teams have won the most playoff games over the past 10 seasons?  Well, here goes.  In order to make the top 51, a team had to have at least 12 playoff victories in the past 10 seasons. 

    One can really see the teams that are lagging in terms of playoff performance.  Interesting that some of them are often ranked despite this.

    16 of the Top 51 are private schools.

    Which of the teams below has the highest winning percentage (including playoff games) of any team in the state over the past 4 seasons?

    American Heritage Plantation 

    Armwood 

    Clearwater Central Catholic 

    Madison County

    Osceola

    Venice

    Vero Beach 

     

     

     

    I would say the top 3 go AHP, Venice, Vero

    venice with one more loss than Vero but more wins as well. 

  19. Suspension question

    I think the simple answer is this:  if the kid transfers to another school that is a member of the FHSAA, the suspension will follow him and he'll miss the first six games.   If he transfers to a school that is not a member of the FHSAA, he can play right away. 

    That said, six games for a 'sideline altercation' seems pretty steep to me.  Were others involved?  Was the punishment consistent?  First time offense for the kid?  Any extenuating circumstances?  Has an appeal been taken?  Film available? 

    One other ejection. Both on the same team. There is film of the incident. An appeal is being made. Just curious for the kid because he is entering his senior year and the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.

    What about transfers? Does Vero typically load up after spring ball?

    In the last few years a few but not really crazy, the ones I can remember 

    David Reese FPC

    Jonathan Bryant FPC

    Cameron Hicks FPC

    Dennis Fisher FPC 

    James Johnson FPC

    Nick Cel JC

    Jahari Harvey JC

     

    Definitely some impact players. But nothing ridiculous like some schools in the bigger metro areas and like the other poster pointed out stability st Vero versus the other area schools plays a big role.
