No.  Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.  Polk has sent 3 teams to the finals 4 times in the same season, but only came away with 2 winners each time.  Runner-ups in bold: 

  • 1996: Lakeland, Bartow, Frostproof
  • 1999: Lakeland, Frostproof, Ft. Meade
  • 2004: Lakeland, Ft. Meade, Lake Gibson
  • 2005: Lakeland, Evangel (Lakeland), Ft. Meade 

Regarding the other Polk teams you mentioned, they all had at least 1 title appearance before Lakeland got its 1st in '86.  Matter of fact, Auburndale, Haines City, Kathleen, Bartow, Ft. Meade and Frostproof collectively made 10 trips to the big show while winning 4 titles before Lakeland.  Winter Haven is the oldest school in Polk yet to make an appearance in the FHSAA era. Given their location and the current landscape, it may never happen.

Winter Haven is horrible in football and basketball and they still go and play teams that beat their heads in. Lol. I never understood that. Scheduling a game you have ZERO percent chance of winning. That doesn’t make you better. It just embarrasses your players and lets them know how inferior they are at the game of football. 
 

Classic Winter Haven

You must have been reading my mind.  I've been looking at compiling all the sports at some point starting with Basketball next.  Winter Haven is at the center of the carousel known as open enrollment, lol.  Head in any direction and there's a better program.

The coach took Winter Haven to Knoxville to get their head beat in by some private school. So stupid. He took Lake Placid to Louisiana and Georgia and lost by 50 each time. He’s a punk. I don’t care what anyone says. Sending some JV level team to slaughter against teams way out of their league is irresponsible and embarrassing. 
 

Do you think the kids will remember some building and museums on their trip, or will they remember the 50 point a$$ bashing they were forced to receive by their punk coach?

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      Bayside went up to play Lowndes and lost 50-0 and 69-0 in back to back years for $25,000 total. I think that’s why so many garbage FL teams play good GA teams.

      And did he “beg”? Or did he simply ask one sentence and see if anyone can help with fundraising? Every single team we have been apart of from 4 years old to high school has fund raised. I don’t remember begging anyone for money. But I guess I’m not a millionaire who coaches a transfer factory. Lol.

      ALL programs in the state of Florida would love to have more money, and really need more. Teddy happens to have enough name recognition and reach- including wealthy current and former NFL players- that he may well succeed in getting money. Whether he succeeds or not, he's calling attention to the problem. (Of course, if the number of schools investing in football programs was sharply reduced, and all of the money which has been spread thin among poor programs was consolidated towards a smaller number of super programs, those super programs would be financed much more effectively.)

      Could be for kids out of the zone who attend the school who are in a family situation that makes it extremely difficulty to attend practices, school, games etc all the time. Could be a single parent who works 2 jobs who has a kid transfer to MNW in hopes that the exposure could earn him a scholarship. We have no idea unless it’s explained. Ubers are expensive as hell. More than taxis used to be. My son’s school is 8 miles from our house. He needed a ride one day for football practice so we looked up Uber and they wanted $40!!

      I don't know why this state is so far behind every other state football powers regarding coaching salaries and financial support?  More evidence is Teddy having to use $14k of his own money last year.  On a side note, isn't paying for uber rides an impermissible benefit?  I mean if you didn't recruit kids out of your area, they wouldn't need those rides anyway Teddy...  but I digress.  https://www.the-sun.com/sport/14663753/teddy-bridgewater-miami-northwestern-donations/#:~:text=The free agent quarterback Bridgewater,team%2C the Miami Northwestern Bulls.&text=Bridgewater made a long plea,by the school through donations.
