Many new schools opened in Lee County since Estero was a solid program. Their incredible run to the final in '98 was a series of good fortunes. Fort Myers had beaten them by10 in the regular season but lost to a nice Lely team forcing a three way tiebreaker. I mentioned to our defensive coach it would be in our best interest to be the runner-up. Oh how he didn't like that. So FM wins the shootout and stays home. Beats Palm Beach Gardens 41-0. Then you know how the story goes, lost to STA 24-10. Meanwhile, Estero goes on the road and beats South Fork by 1, South Plantation by 1, Charlotte by 24, then Lakeland by 1 with a second chance on a field goal attempt due to a penalty. Lakeland had taken STA out prior but the Naughts suffered numerous injuries. Enjoy your posts Old School Lion.
