I have no affiliation with Berkeley (Live in Tampa though) but actually do with Columbus and most Columbus coaches would not agree with what you said.
Norland played one of the toughest schedules in the state and came out unscathed.
Nobody gave Berkeley a chance yet here we are. It sounds like sour grapes because Columbus lost to Norland this year and you sound a little salty about that.
Go enjoy Columbus State Title and let Berkeley enjoy one of the greatest State upsets of all time, both of these things can coexist.

You've made Hillsborough County proud.

Maybe. But, that was still prior to the super-team era. Bolles has 6-8 major prospects IIRC, which at the time made them almost invincible. Now, it just means they're a contender. The last 15-20 years, Dade teams have been nearly unstoppable by non-Dade teams.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Upset is huge. Doesn’t happen often. Crazy thing is, it didn’t take gimmicky plays or a QB throwing for 300+. They had a freshman QB and they threw the ball 6 times this game. They just played bully ball against Dades best!

It's disrespectful to Norland as well, they beat Central straight up twice. Berkeley had a better gameplan and was better coached, they probably would grind down Central just as badly if not worse.
People are sleeping on Dallas Golden from Berkeley, that kid owns South Florida right now after his performance against American Heritage as well.
I hate to compare kids too much but it is Shades of Nelson Agholor out there (who went to Berkeley as well).

Definitely an epic underdog playoff run.   Love to see it.  

This comment is quite impressive in both its uselessness, and in the way it captures the stupidity of our time. Berkeley beats a team that beat Central TWICE this season, and we're to disregard that because observers think they know better than the reality of what happened on the field of play.

Yep. Facts are, players are softer than they've ever been, and power-running offenses from compressed formations are rarer than they've ever been. This means kids usually don't want to play against such styles. Norland forced a three and out on the first series, and thought they were done with having to play the run. Turns out, BP was only getting started...

Also Berkeley lost their starting QB in week 6 but that didn't stop them from beating Norland unlike those other teams ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
