In a game that surely ranks as one of the greatest upsets in Florida state finals history, this team won the state championship by defeating an undefeated, defending state champion that had been ranked #1 in the country that season.  Who is that team and who did they upset? 

That one's easy: Bartow over Bolles 14-13. That game was played in the mid 1990s. Probably 1996 or 1995, if I remember correctly. Bolles came into the game 14-0, but got upset.

Bigger question 

 

What publication felt Bolles was best team in the nation lol

 

They probably weren't even best in Florida but i have hard time believing any Bolles team could take these big school powers down

USA Today. That Bolles team was loaded and could play with anyone. Not like the average one that beat Columbia this year.

DarterBlue got it!  Bartow beat Bolles 14-13 in the 1996 Class 4A title game.  Bartow's program took a hard dive after that win.

Bartow's coach, Danny Rea Smith, had coached previously at St Cloud and was one of only three coaches to beat Corky Rogers in a state title game(Ice Harris of BTW and Joe Zaccheo at Miami Pace the others). 

Bolles had won titles in 1990, 1993 and 1995.  Coming into that game, they had a 27-game winning streak, were ranked #1 by USA Today, and had 9 D1 commits, including Chris Reier at qb(who later played for Alabama)

I can't speak much to this year's team because I wasn't there but I was at the one in 2015 who was 6-0 and number 1 in 4a

 

That Bolles team in 2015 was way overranked

Those teams don't even compare to that 96 Bolles team. The 96 Bolles team could have played with anyone in the country.

I thought it was 2011 and they were destroyed in that game and haven't been close since 

 

Nothing like late 90s or early 2000s

nope 2012.  They ended my season.  We could have beat them.  Turned it over 6 times or 7 times and lost by 7.   They were good.  Lincoln lost 41-25 to STA the next week in the finals.  It was 24-19 entering the 4th.   I wouldn't call that getting destroyed.

 

Lincoln's other loss that year was to state champion Godby.  

 

Lincoln was a top 10-15 team in 2012.  Not elite but really damn good.

.......but don't forget, Bolles took it's first possession down inside the Bartow 10yd line.  The 1st string all season starting QB then broke his ankle, and Bolles played with a back up the rest of the way. Not many teams would over came that.  Also this was an early afternoon game played under beautiful clear blue skies in Daytona Beach. It was "COLD." Damn near froze my middle age a$$ off :)

Sounds pretty accurate to me. I was at the State Title game, and it was a good one for more than three quarters!

Brah i knew that back in 01, 02, 04 and 09

 

 

 

Difference was they were elite when we lost those years 

 

2002, 2004 and 2009 not elite.  They did lose the next week after beating you.  You wore them down.Columbia is the reason they lost those 3 years

Are you telling me that just to get make me feel better about us losing those games lol

I will take it a step further.  Lincoln was so traumatized by those games with Columbia, it never actually recovered, eventually leading to the demise of the entire program in the following years..all due to Columbia.:D   Just havin fun CHF:)

    • 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
