I really don't know how GC's Johnny Rutledge or Reggie Vickers and Pahokee's Anquan Boldin did not make it.

The fact Dillard never had a all American wow!!! All that history an we have not achieved that lol

Wendal Lowrey was a Parade AA for Dillard in the late 1980's who led the Panthers to two touchdowns in the final two minutes in a 14-6 state title win over Tarpon Springs.  Dillard lost its bid for back-to-back titles in his senior year when Lowrey was injured in a playoff loss to Ely.

USA Today and the US Army All-American Bowl started naming All-Americans back in the 80's.  Parade started about 20 years before that.  So, it is quite possible he was not a Parade AA but was named by one of the others.

Believe it or not, Bolles has only one Parade All-American(lineman John Theus in 2011) over all of these years.  Ely is in the top 3 schools for Parade All-Americans, but not STA. 

Besides Ely, who are the other two?  

Miami Northwestern and raines are my guesses

Ely is #1 and has the most, Northwestern is #3.  Raines "only" has 4, but that's still more than Columbia:P.

That leaves us with Miami Central, Miami Norland or Tallahassee Lincoln for #2 on the list.

I think Doc Luckie is the only parade All American from the treasure coast 

Bryan Stork of Vero was an All-American in college but not in high school.

Jerry Johnson/Fort Pierce Central-have seen him listed as 1996 All-American but am not sure 

Doc Luckie-Lineman/Fort Pierce Central 1976 Parade All-American, U of Florida, NFL

Cody Parkey-Kicker/Jupiter High 2009 USA Today All-American, Aubrun, NFL

Jeff Luc-LB/Treasure Coast High 2009 Parade All-American, U of Cincinnati, NFL 

But we are missing the one who was quite possibly the most famous high school All-American ever from the Treasure Coast?  He was a Parade All-American running back who played for South Fork High in the 1980's.  Who is it?

    • I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
