Hey @Jesse I miss the old rivalry between Wakulla and Blountstown.  You're too young to remember but those were some great games back in the mid 70's and early 80's.  Blountstown was a powerhouse.  Both teams won state championships during those era's.  Jefferson County had some great teams in the early 80's when the Massey brothers were carrying the ball.
 

That is absolutely mind boggling...the one thing that keeps me hopeful for us is that there just isn't that much available land space to develop in Wakulla.  When you look at a map the vast majority of the county is national forest.  US 319 is the main corridor coming from Tallahassee.  That is pretty much the main area that can be developed....and boy oh boy that will become a huge mess if it isn't developed properly.

It will be in the northern part of the county close to the Leon County line.  There is a lot of growth in that area.  They have two elementary schools and a middle school in that area.  I'm pretty sure they already have the property set aside for the new high school as well.  I'm just hoping it takes a long time to get to that 2,000 student threshold.
Yes the two titles they won were back when they were in 2A.  In today's world that would equate to 1A.  All of those teams they played are still about the same size today and are playing in the 1A class.

It's amazing that Lee or Pinellas has never had a state champion.  I can remember when Wakulla High was the same size as Blountstown, Port St. Joe etc...they were in the same district for years.  The population growth is exploding in Wakulla right now...i guess that is good and bad.  Wakulla High has close to 1500 students.  They will be 6A within the next few years.  It's a matter of time before another high school is built and that is the part I hate the most.  It's so good when everyone goes to the same high school and the entire county is supporting the one team.  I've heard they won't consider building a new high school until the enrollment reaches 2,000. 
 

Yes...Duke Johnson was unstoppable.  Didn't they also have an OL that played or maybe still playing in the NFL?  I think his last name was Flowers??
It's funny...that Wakulla team was very average at the beginning of the season but just continued to get better as the year went on.  No doubt Norland was the better team though.  The Wakulla team the following year was a much better team.  They went undefeated in the regular season and lost to Godby 14-7 in the second round.  They had beaten Godby pretty handily about 3 weeks earlier.  Godby went on to win the 5A state championship.  That was one that got away...they probably would have won a state championship that year.

And bringing up Wharton is childish and lame. I didn’t choose to go to Wharton. My parents lived in their zone and couldn’t afford to send me to a private school. So I rode the cheese wagon everyday. Lol. So the high school Someone attended 20 years ago has no bearing on how they view high school football as a whole today. That’s pure ignorance. 
 
Can you only comment on college football teams if you went to Alabama, Ohio State or Clemson? If you graduated an Ivy League school and said Oklahoma and Norte Dame were overrated should people say you don’t know what your talking about because you went to Harvard? Doesn’t that sound fu#%^ng stupid??

People tend to change the subject and go way off topic when they have no defense of their argument.
My intention was not to ever belittle or even criticize Winter Parks schedule. I don’t know anything behind the scenes. Some athletic programs and county’s run completely different rules. Hillsborough County has their incompetent county AD make the schedules. You only have a small window to schedule your own game here or there. And if you don’t then he does it for you. 
 
Point is there are a ton of factors involved behind the scenes. But none of that matters when posting your opinion about the final product. If you post the schedule and ask “is this a tough schedule”?? I say no. It’s not. The teams outside of Edgewater on not strong on a state scale. They may be quality area teams, but that is irrelevant. I look at it from a state lens. Would this schedule be tough for the elite teams. No, not at all. But that’s ok 

So Jones can play top teams all over the state but Winter Park can’t? Gotcha. Hell WP can’t even get the top teams outside of Edgewater to play them apparently. 

I’m Brendan, I signed up in high school but was off for a long time. Mostly because of my twitter brand I started in 2018 but I live and represent Jacksonville. My twitter brand covers multiple regions in North Florida. 

Who are you and where did you go? 

If the teams in Orlando get too good, WP may have to travel to Tampa Bay to find some a wealth of weak football teams. What was that glorified Pop Warner team that your root for? 

Thank you @nolebull813that is some great research!  They've also lost 3 state championship games.  In 1978 they lost to Dunnellon, in 2011 they lost to Miami Norland and in 2015 they lost to Orlando Bishop Moore. 
They had a real good team in 2019.  They were undefeated heading into the 5A state semifinals on the road again Orlando Jones.  It was a great game...lost 21-20 on a missed extra point to tie the game in the 4th quarter.
 

@Jesse Madison County is 16-12 all time vs Wakulla. Lol

What’s the sick obsession that nothing can be criticized? The schedule stinks. The teams outside of Edgewater are just average on a state scale. Everything doesn’t have to be great all the time. You don’t have to try and put lipstick on a pig and enter it in a beauty pageant. 
 
If you are trying to give an honest opinion, and it is met with insults, lies, and ignorance, then it’s hard to have an honest debate. 
 
The schedule is not good. There is no malice or agenda. And I know you can only get the teams on your schedule if they agree, but that is immaterial and doesn’t take away from the fact that the schedule is bad. And there is no proof unless someone posts a link that WP was actively looking for top teams to schedule. 

MNW bailed on STA at the 11th hour for an unknown reason. They would rather lose the prime time ESPN game than get embarrassed on national TV. They must know they don’t have the horses. That’s ok. Not everyone has to sign up for an auto butt whooping all the time. The 2 new games that spawned from this will be much more competitive 

Jones has DP, IMG, Edgewater and Palmetto (manatee county).  Pretty challenging.

But these teams are only “decent” because Winter Park isnt that good. They are “decent” 
 
If a top ranked team played this schedule it would be the laughingstock. Lake Nona, Lake Brantley, Winter Park, and Lake Mary are not good. They would get a running clock put on them by an elite team. 
 
so it is all perspective. If this was Lake Buena Vista schedule it would be pretty tough. Because they will be a first year team and probably pretty bad. If this was STA’s schedule it would be horrible. Perspective. 

Is there a link to all the schedules yet? It is almost July. This is crazy. Are we supposed to just show up at the stadiums starting in August and see who shows up? Like a freaking mystery box. No one might show up. Might be an away game.
