As much of a Lakeland homer as I am, I don't see Lakeland in that category right now. They were there for a very long time from 04-11 and they have the possibility to get there this season. Between 2012 - 2014, they were knocked out of the playoffs in the 1st or 2nd round each year. And last year, they had the major letdown against Bartow that caused them to have to scramble just to make the playoffs. Then they really underestimated Viera, They have everything in place to be a powerhouse in 7A north this year. Just have to prove it on the field.

STA

Flanagan

Miramar

Palm Bay

 

Scratch Palm Bay & Jefferson from the outsider list IMO. 
 
Can we really call Kiss. Osceola a powerhouse right now? To me, I think they still have a little more to prove.
 
AHD should be in the powerhouse category. Oxbridge should be in the outsider category. 
 
I think Lakeland has dropped that status. Manatee is getting close to dropping the status too.

State Powerhouse:  Consistently play for and win state championships;  STA, BTW, Miami Central,  

 

Regional Powerhouse:  Consistently win their district and advance in deep in the playoffs:  Armwood, Bolles, Lakeland, Manatee, Maitland, Cocoa

 

Really Good:  Consistently have a winning season, make the playoffs:   Glades Central, Fort Meade,

Umm I can't guarantee us as a powerhouse but we defently fit that last one, only 2 losing seasons since 87' and only 3 times missing playoffs since 93

I can't really put AHP is the top category because they are a johnny come lately.  I'd put them in the 2nd.  Same with Bishop Moore, even though they won the state title, and probably Tampa Jesuit, Charlotte, and Venice in the 3rd group.

I totally agree with this. Added TCA to the elite schools because they dominate 3A and very well would beat most of the Regional Powerhouses. Missed AHP even though they got it handed to them by BTW. BTW could beat STA this year. They will Next year.

 

Until Cocoa can get past BTW they remain in the regional powerhouse group.

Absolutely. They have the chance to get back there again this year. Would love to see my daughter cheer her final high school game in Orlando.  :)

You must have tough criteria if a team with 10 finals appearances in 14 years is just a regional power.

They were state powerhouse when they were winning them but as they started to lose those title games they dropped a tier, read gwdrum's standard

 

State powerhouses are teams winning titles

 

Regional powerhouses are ones getting deep and winning district

 

So would you put Bolles as a equal powerhouse to level of BTW, STA or central?

I suppose that's fair. Although if BTW was in any other class I think we'd be counting bolles in this. But you know what they say about if. Because at the same time it can be argued cocoa would take it to bolles had btw not.

I suppose TCA can get put in the top category as they have been pretty dominate in their class.  I can't help it, but every time I see or hear of TCA, I remember them getting beat 6-0 by Frostproof in the state championship.  A long time ago I know, but its always the first thing to pop in my mind.
