Nulli Secundus got a reaction from Dr. D in New FHSAA Classifications
No. However, going to one class in 2026 will be an eye-opener and blueprint for the nation. We will get to see how many larger schools have no business playing football, and how many small schools punch above their weight.

I've been looking at this all day and trying to figure out the best way to respond. Here it is!
I strongly disagree with the statement that these schools weren't anything prior to 2006, with the lone exception of MC. They were known for being the rockets that couldn't lift off, and anyone with knowledge of Dade football would certainly agree. Dade has long been a county where players "follow" coaches, lol. Now it's Central's turn.
American Heritage (Plantation), not to be confused American Heritage (Delray), did make one finals appearance to the tune of a 30-13 drubbing by NFC during the Eagles' run in the 90's.
Chaminade may have only won 2 titles between 1963-2016, but they have been to the finals 4 times in that same span.
Now I'm hardly one to defend the Raiders but in this situation, to say the Raiders were nothing prior to 2006 is laughable at best. First, I have to guess you made a slight error in saying that the Raiders only won 3 state championships from 1963-2007 as I know you keep stats on damn near everything, lol. Now if you had stopped at 2006 you would be correct but including 2007 actually gives them 4. For the sake of discussion we'll stop at 2006. One very important detail that you left out is the fact that when STA embarked on one of the best comebacks in FHSAA history in the 2006 finals, this was the Raider's 10th trip to the big dance. YES, for the people in the back in the room. 10 times! (91, 92, 96, 97, 99, 00, 01, 04, 05, 06). I would hardly call a program that goes the the finals 10 times in a 16 years nothing. To put it in perspective, from to 1963-2006, STA was 3-7 and Hillsborough County was 5-9 during that same period. Secondly, although Lakeland gets notoriety for the amount of times they not only defeated STA but done so in overwhelming fashion, I'd be remiss to not mention the "OTHER" schools that gave the Raiders lumps, bruises and heartaches: (1991 FWB (39-14), 2000 Pine Forest 34-27 (3OT), 2001 Lincoln (28-20).
Beginning in 2007, the Raiders have gone 12-1 (Thank Lakeland for that lone loss) in the Finals and regardless of how reclassification goes, you can bet the Raiders will find a way to get there.
STA, Chaminade and AH have matured into the inevitability of their "program building". That was going to happen with or without Lakeland as Broward (much like Duval) is revered for their private schools and the public schools are, well, anyway.... A special round of applause goes to the FHSAA for making it easier than ever to moonwalk to the show.

Nulli Secundus reacted to flabuck in Lakeland is the reason we have super teams in Florida
If you are highly talented player at a skilled position with some family resources behind you the colleges will find you, Sure it helps to go to a super power but does not eliminate you from getting recruited by the big name college programs. With the ever expanding 7 on 7 teams, the off season on campus camps and more and more people scouting and reporting on games you will get noticed. What may hold you back is having a good team and good coaching around you, a school that is in the regular visitation cycle by college recruiters but in the end if you have the raw talent and fit the culture they will find you.
I agree that in Dade County many players chase coaches, what were once dominant teams are no longer dominant, Northwestern had their run, Carol City had their run, Booker T had a run, Southridge , now it is Central's run along with Columbus.

The impressive thing about the run is they are doing it at a time where they have to split all the talent with all the other private schools and better public schools in the county
