[i4football]

Yo, still nursin' this bourbon from last night, still down a few bucks at the track, but hey, at least I'm not coachin' in one of them zero-title counties. We talkin' Florida high school football glory since '63, broken down by how many folks live there. No boring spreadsheets this time—just the juicy highlights, 'cause who got time for every county when the bottle's callin'?

Start with the big dogs, them Super counties packin' over a million souls—think Miami traffic jams and Disney lines. Broward, Palm Beach, Duval, and Dade (that's Miami, y'all) hog all the raw trophies, stackin' 'em like I stack bad decisions. And let's keep it a buck: a big chunk of that bling comes from them private school superpowers recruitin' kids from everywhere, no boundaries, just open checkbooks and open arms. St. Thomas Aquinas down in Broward? Man, they out here assemblin' rosters like the Avengers—pullin' top talent nationwide, playin' national schedules, and hoistin' hardware like it's goin' outta style. Seventeen state titles overall, trophy case so full you need sunglasses just to look at it.Duval punches strong per person—tops the Supers in that—and yeah, a fat slice of their dominance comes from privates like Jacksonville Bolles, them Bulldogs with 11 state titles locked in (all from back in the day, '86 to 2011 under that legend Corky Rogers), recruitin' heavy and turnin' Skinner-Barco Stadium into a ring factory for years. Just last week they was chasin' number 12 in the Class 2A final but got lit up 52-28 by Cardinal Mooney—lost five straight title games now, ouch.But overall? These metros dominate the total count like a heavyweight bullyin' the ring.Then the X-Large and Large crews—half-million to a mil, places like Polk, Hillsborough, Orange. Polk sneaks in punchin' above its weight per capita, probably 'cause Lakeland been terrorizin' folks forever. Leon (Tallahassee, my Rattler stompin' grounds) straight ballin' per head—FAMU vibe rubbin' off, makin' 'em play mean.Now, the real fun starts with the smaller joints

—Medium, Small, Miniature, all the way to Tiny. This where the little guys turn into giants. Them Panhandle and North Florida specks on the map? They eatin' per capita like it's an all-you-can-win buffet.Gilchrist, Bradford, Suwannee, Wakulla, Jackson—scrappy as hell. But the king of the ants? Madison County, population barely enough for one good block party, but they winnin' state rings like it's their birthright. Cowboys out there celebratin' titles while the whole town shuts down—no recruiters needed, just local boys with dirt on their cleats and fire in their bellies.Calhoun, Gulf (Port St. Joe with them Tiger Sharks), Jefferson right behind—rural beasts turnin' Friday nights into legends under them rickety lights.That's hood heart, baby—small crew, big fight, probably runnin' on sweet tea, church prayers, and straight spite for the big-city boys.Punchline? Big counties flex the most hardware 'cause they got the bodies (and them private recruiting machines like St. Thomas and Bolles loadin' up the wagons). But per person? The tinies are the real killers—provin' you don't need a million folks or a nationwide shopping spree to own the state, just heart, hustle, and maybe a little moonshine motivation. It's like me at the casino: odds stacked against the little guy, but when we hit... we hit big.

 

Now pass that glass—Madison County's got me feelin' nostalgic, Bolles got me laughin' at them title-game heartbreaks, and St. Thomas got me wonderin' if they even got room for one more trophy. Who's buyin' the next round to toast both sides—the stackers and the scrappers?

[THAT S--T WAS FUNNY]

Funny how this list from Laz depicts more of what the final 8 team open division should really look like.
