List of Defunct 11 Man Programs

[LAZ]

The 146 schools below have played at least one game of 11-man football from 1999-2025. Several of these have since moved to 8-man. Many have dropped football completely; Some have closed or merged with other schools. This list grows each year. HOWEVER, our number of active 11-man teams continues to grow as well, substantially outpacing the number of discontinued programs. In 1999, there were 407 (11-man teams). In 2025, we had 564. A nearly 39% increase over 27 seasons.

Thats a bigger list than expected

[gbrown977]

All Saints and Legacy Charter are going back to 11-man. First Coast Christian will also be making the jump to 11-man.

[HSfootballguy]

I mean a lot of small christians, preps, charters, and academies. A bunch of schools like that atleast in South Florida just throw a team together just to bring in students and make money. They show up to games in practice jerseys and don't really have fields. Some will have a team for 2 years take a couple years off and then throw a team together again if enough of the middle school kids stay and don't go to regular high schools. Others change names a bunch like the Zion in Deerfield at the end is now where Somerset Academy Key is.

[nolebull813]

I have a complete list for the all time. There’s about 250 in total. But that’s since 1905. Lol. I have them written on papers and I took a picture of the but I don’t know how to upload photos. It always says the file is too large. 

[nolebull813]

@LAZ do you have the results for all these teams that’s not reliant solely on maxpreps since 2004?

[nolebull813]

For example, Beacon of Hope from St Augustine started 11 man in 2008, but on maxpreps, it lists 8 games, but 6 of them it has a score but they are all listed as “varsity opponent” 

I can’t even find it in newspaper archives. I was curious to see if you would have something like that. 

[LAZ]

 

Nolebull813,

I have results going back that far. They are all in separate files and I only have margins of victory/defeat. I most likely do not have actual game scores. So, it would take me some time to research. But I can try if you have some specific teams you'd like me to look at. 

[Hwy17]

Most of these don't surprise me. Champagnet Catholic however was a state power house. What made them shut down?

I really need First Coast vs Wolfson on September 9th, 2000. That would complete both teams for me

Weren’t they in some strip mall shopping plaza? Lol 

[nolebull813]

@LAZ here are some 

Shekinah Christian 2009 - 

maxpreps lists 3 games. But the newspapers from October 17th says they were (2-5) after losing to West Oaks 38-0.

2002 University Christian vs Providence?

2003 Eagles View vs Ocala Christian?

2003 Potters House - 5 games? I have Providence, Brevard Christian, St Joseph and Space Coast

Man, I’m over here on my lunch break eatin’ a Publix sub that’s mostly bread ‘cause corporate keep shrinkin’ the turkey portions like they payin’ for it outta they own pocket… and I stumble on this thread about all these defunct 11-man programs. Whew, Lawd. Laz done dropped a damn phone book worth of names—146 schools that done played at least one snap of real football since ’99 and now either playin’ 8-man, dropped it altogether, or straight up closed the doors. 

I look at that list and it hit different, noimsayin? Half these schools sound like they was run outta somebody’s garage. “Avant Garde Academy,” “TRU Prep,” “Roar Prep,” “Surge Academy”—boy, these folks was throwin’ darts at a thesaurus tryna come up with names that sound fancy enough to pull tuition money. Then you got the classics like Dade Christian, Miami Christian, Hollywood Christian… feel like every city in Florida had a “Christian” school that put together a football team for two seasons, got mercy-ruled every Friday, then folded quieter than my last relationship with that bartender from Applebee’s named Tequila.

HSfootballguy hit the nail square, though. Down South especially, these little charter/prep/academy spots pop up, slap a team together in practice jerseys, play on a soccer field with no bleachers, take a couple 60-0 L’s, then vanish. Some change names faster than I change my bets when the line move against me. That Zion Lutheran in Deerfield turnin’ into Somerset Key? Classic. I done lost money on games involvin’ schools that ain’t exist no more by the time I cashed the ticket.

But then you scroll down and see Champagnat Catholic—now THAT one hurt. Hwy17 right… them boys was a straight powerhouse for a minute. Run the wing-T like it was 1974, had dudes goin’ D1 left and right, won a state title in 2017 if I remember right. And poof—gone. Nolebull talkin’ ‘bout they was in a strip mall plaza… hell, at least they had a roof over the weight room. Better than some of these other spots playin’ on rock patches behind the church.

I respect Laz for keepin’ all this history. Man got margins of victory goin’ back to when flip phones was new. And he still polite enough to offer to dig through old files for Nolebull. That’s real football nerd love right there.

Me? I done bet on a few of these ghost teams back in the day. Put $20 on Miami Christian +45 against Glades Central one year thinkin’ “ain’t no way they lose by 50.” Came home smellin’ like regret and cheap wings after they hung 72 on ‘em. Lesson learned: never bet on a school that got “Prep,” “Academy,” or “Christian” in the name unless they playin’ another school with “Prep,” “Academy,” or “Christian” in the name.

Good to see the overall number of 11-man teams still climbin’ though—up to 564 now. Florida high school football ain’t dyin’, it’s just weedin’ out the ones that was half-steppin’. Survival of the fittest out here.

Anyway, break almost over. Gotta get back to slicin’ roast beef for folks who want it “paper thin” but still complain when it fall apart. Y’all keep diggin’ up this history—makes an old gambler feel like the game still got soul.

And if anybody got the over/under on how many new “Academy” teams pop up next year… lemme know.

My bookie takin’ action.

2003 Potters House - 5 games? I have Providence, Brevard Christian, St Joseph and Space Coast

For Shekinah Christian in 2009, I have them at 0-4. Losing to Bradenton Prep by 38, Florida Chr. Institute (twice) by 22 and by 11, and West Oaks by 38.

For University Christian in 2002, I do not show them playing Providence. They were scheduled to play them in week two but ended up playing Evangelical Christian (Ft Myers) and lost by 9.

 For Eagles View in 2003, I have them beating Ocala Christian by 44 in week 2. 

For Potter's House in 2003, I also have them with 5 opponents, but you only listed 4. The fifth was Calvary Christian Clearwater. PH beat Calvary by 27. 

Also, I am having difficulty finding my files for 2000, looking for First Coast/Wolfson. I will keep digging.

Thank you. I did have the Potters House game just with the Calvary history. I didn’t know to look there because I didn’t have the game listed for PH. But it was 27-0. 
 

Eagles View I’m hoping the score was 44-0. Lol. 
 

Yeah if you find the First Coast/Wolfson score please let me know. It’s literally the only score I need for both teams to be complete.
