1. Ask have at least one championship

2. All have been around over 30 years

3. 

4.

I think 2 is right. Not sure about 1. Did either Chamberlin or Astronaut ever win a ship? Off the top of my head, and I stand corrected, I can't recall either winning a title.

That is a tough quiz. You have done at least one better than I did. I was laying a goose egg!

How about someone from each of those played in the NFL, and maybe in the SuperBowl?

I know they are all old schools, I knew lots of them had won championships but wasn't sure about all. Most have played in multiple classes.  I think most have probably had a coach with 100 plus wins.

If that's case then Columbia needs to be added bc we have 2 coaches in our history with 100 wins

HINT: If you are very familiar with football in a certain area of the state, focus on the teams from your area.  For instance, there are 6 Dade/Broward County teams on the list.  There are 3 Polk County teams on the list.  There are a number of panhandle teams on the list.  

Look for four things in common amongst those schools from your area, and hint, hint, the trends may be similar throughout the state.  If you are familiar with Polk County football history, I can think of one thing that should slap you in the face about Lakeland, Bartow and Lake Wales?

Columbia

When you had a question like this(Name four things....) on a test at Columbia HS, did you walk up to the teacher and ask him how many you had right so far, son?  I head that school was easy:P  

Submit your 4 answers and we will see:D  I will say, that Sharkbait feller is purdy smart and may be getting warm;)

All of these schools have been winning football games for a long time.  That's a good thing to know.

1. Each teams wears a helmet during games

2.  They all have a weight room

3.  They all have a mascot

4.  They all have a coach

...very clever, but I am terribly disappointed with you badbird:wacko:None of your responses were correct.  :P

1. Coaches and some players on the sidelines do not wear helmets during games.:ph34r:

2. That used to be true, but not anymore.  Aquinas' linemen ate all of their weights and somebody stole Frostproof's dumbell. :o

3. That used to be true, but the new transfer rules have impacted team mascots as well, so some teams have vacancies.  Astronaut's  war eagle has transferred to Wakulla.  And Frostproof's bulldog went to Bolles(even the mascots are going to the private schools now!).     Lakeland used to have a mascot, but the Navy took it back.:blink:  

4.  They all have coaches, not just a "coach.":(  And at this moment, some teams do not actually have a head coach due to vacancies.

Nice try though, badbird.:lol:

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
