1999 Bartow State champion don't know their record

2015 Viera 10-5 7a state runner ups 

2005 Deerfield Beach 1

Don't you mean 1996 for Bartow?

 

That was year they upset Bolles but haven't been back since

 

 

 

Flanagan had a major coaching exodus which also lead to a huge talent turnover 

 

 

Viera hadn't been able to beat plant last 2 years otherwise they probably would have won 7a north because they were better than both region 1 reps in last 2 years

 

 

The other 3 I'll leave to someone from South Florida to comment on

Bartow won state 3 times 

 

1977

1985

1996

 

1977 and 1985 teams were coached by same person who lead Columbia to their only title in 1967

I'll take them off then

South Dade has always been in tough region.  Has been easier this decade (with NW, Central and Carol City in different class) but still have to deal with Southridge, Columbus, Killian and Coral Gables

Killian hasn't been attracting the same talent that they used to

You can currently replace Killian with Palmetto.

With Deerfield, there's a whole thread on it. Always talented, coaching brings them down. Not sure about Palm Beach Gardens

One hit Wonders 

2009 Pensacola 

2016 Ponte Vedra 

2012 Northview 

2005 st aug 

2002 Ely 

St Augustine has been one of the best North Florida programs over past 2 decades

 

Sure they don't go deep often but they are generally among the top teams in North Florida

 Before I clicked on the link I thought of Palm Beach Gardens...they’ve had WAY more talent after that championship team, but they either barely make the playoffs or lose in the first round. They’ve had multiple 4/5 star players on the same team and average 5/6 wins a season....makes me wonder who’s ranking these guys, because they don’t produce/dominate the hs level...The dB (Hall) from Lakes was the deal last year though

Of the teams named so far, I think Flanagan wins hand down. 

...others deserve some credit/slack

Viera and Ponte Vedra are pretty new schools, so maybe deserve some slack.  Viera is online now and PV did make a deep run in 2011.

Killian and South Dade-Historically have played in brutal regions of 6A and 8A

PB Gardens has lost some tough games in the playoffs, ie Boone 06,(state semifinalist), Miramar 2011(state finalist), South Dade 2013 (state champ).

Booker lost to eventual state champ Miami Pace in 2003, Cocoa in 2007.

Ely has had many great teams and were defeated by numerous eventual state champions/finalists...Bradenton Southeast (93 and 94), Lakeland (99), Venice, (2000), Edgewater (04), St Thomas Aquinas (05, 06, 07) , Dwyer (13)

Pensacola lost in state semis in 1986, 1996 and 2004.

Pasco lost in state semis in 1983, 2008 and 2011.

St Augustine-Finalist in 2001 and 2007, state semis in 2002, 2004, 2010

Northview-state semis in 2010 and 2011

Mainland-in state semis many times over the years

So, as a 20-year head coach, which of the two scenarios would you prefer to have on your resume?  

A- has won 2 state titles and 2 state semi appearances, 8 losing seasons.

B- has won 1 state title and has 7 state semi appearances, 3 losing seasons

A is more like a used to or have been examples: Palm Bay, Lincoln

B is more like a Palm Beach Gardens or Viera type team 

I'll rather be the former

Maybe B 

Man all I was doing was just bringing up an interesting topic that ain't never really been covered I mean you always bring up interesting topics too

My team was in the same class as Palm Beach Gardens. 

They beat Boone 21-7 in the second or third round, a team we lost to 17-14. We probably would have played them had we beaten Boone for the district title. We ended up losing a district tie breaker.

6A had a ton of parity in 2005. Reflecting back it was probably one of the weirder years of all time, especially in CFla. Lyman and Winter Springs were both good that year.

    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
