I came across this and thought this was cool and random. Back in 1981  Palatka won the state title. They had to play 4 post season games. In the 4 games they played, the margin of victory got bigger each game. Usually it’s the opposite in most cases. These are the margins. 
 

1st round vs Robert R Lee (7 points)

2nd round vs Leon (9 points)

Semis vs Buchholz (35 points)

Finals vs Suncoast (40 points)

Was that the "Give 'em Hell John L" year at Palatka or UF ?  Help out this old brother. . .

It is amazing that back then you were to make and win a state title without playing against one Dade or Broward county team.

How the balance of power has shifted!

Maybe all of those teams were in a different classification?  I remember south FL teams being good for as long as I have followed FL HS football, which is mid 80s.

Young man, checkout the record book. Things weren't always as they are now, enjoy

Wow it's crazy to see some of the downtrodden teams of today listed in that record book.  Dunedin HS was a state finalist two years in a row in 86 and 87!

No Pinellas County team has ever won a state championship in football. That 1986 Dunedin team is the closest to do it. Besides those 2 Dunedin teams these are the only county teams to make it 
 

Shroecrest in 75 and 76


Dixie Hollins lost 24-0 in 1995

Admiral Farragut 69-0 in 2011

CCC 48-14 last year

Hasn't CCC made the title game twice?

(Dixie) Hollins could be one of the worst teams in the state this year.  Looks very odd to see them on that list.

Dan, when you call someone a "young man" you probably should narrow it down a little bit. Didn't you play against the 1935 teams that Longtime Observer mentioned in another thread?

Careful Jambun, I see a potential hazard in your future, inflicted by a left-right combo.

The 80's were not great for Dade, lol.

Yeah and they didn’t cry and complain that things were unfair. And Dade always had more population than the North Florida cities. The South Florida teams took their lumps and got better. Then as soon as they start to rise to prominence all of a sudden it’s not fair. Was it fair in the 80’s when the panhandle dominated? How come there was no split then? It’s messed up. Back in the day 9-1 teams would miss the playoffs. Now 1-9 will get you the number 1 seed and home field advantage throughout :lol:

Don't remind me.  I'm one of those Dreadnaughts that did not go to the playoffs in '91 & '92 :lol:.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
