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

      By Perspective · Posted

      Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away.

      Sure, but going about it this way will bring more attention to the absurdity of it all. Teddy is going to be just fine given his finances and reputation. The average high school coach who occasionally spends his own money like that, couldn't overcome getting caught helping.  If coaches REALLY wanted to bring about change, they'd have large email chat groups and decide to all come out together, at once, and proclaim that they, too, sometimes dip into their own pocket to help cover expenses. I suppose the schools and/or FHSAA could always cancel the season so as to administer punishments to all the guilty coaches for their generosity.  tl;dr: JUST SAY NO TO COMMUNISM.

      Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH.    You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard

      If Bridgewater does get 'taken down,' I'd like to see him take a whole bunch of other guys down with him.  No reason why he should be the singular sacrificial lamb.
