Is it Bolles? I remember them winning a game like 3-0 in OT once or maybe I'm thinking of someone else

Not Bolles.  All of these teams have won low-scoring title games.

Was I right about the 3-0 win in state championship though?

No, at least not in the modern era.  Bolles won 6-0 Vs Chaminade back in 2002.  That one was a classic.

Im thinking Palm Bay. Their defense was stout that year, but the offense was mainly a wing-T, clock control offense, with an occasional bomb to Xavier Carter.

I am going to put my money on Frostproof.

At the 1999 2A final in Gainesville, unranked Frostproof, a team that was 6-4 during the regular season, shocked Jacksonville Trinity Christian in a 6-0 win.  Trinity had scored 689 points during the year and, at that time, was the highest-scoring team in Florida high school football history.

For the game's only score, Frostproof hit a 59-yard crossing pattern for a TD 5 minutes into the game.  Take away that and Frostproof had minus-2 yards of offense.  Frostproof set title-game records with negative-7 yards rushing and one first down, and tied a mark with eight punts.  Frostproof's C.J. Hudson, one of Florida's all-time leading rushers with over 7000 yards, was held to 16 yards on 14 carries.

On defense, Frostproof had 13 stops for negative yardage and held Trinity to an average of 3.3 yards per play.  Trinity didn't help themselves, fumbling 7 times, which tied a title game record.

Frostproof was coached by Bill Pierstoff and Trinity was coached by Verlon Dorminey.  That game was Frostproof's last appearance in a title game.  Dorminey would have to wait a few more years to win the first of many state titles.

Good job Darter!

Good guess.  Palm Bay and Dillard had a defensive battle in 2000, holding each other to about 150 yards of offense.
