The best one hit wonders in Florida

[FloTech]

All of these teams have made it to the state finals just one time (whether they are champs or runner ups)........ And all of them haven't seen too much luck afterwards.....

2015 Flanagan 12-2 8a state champions 

2005 Palm Beach Gardens 14-1 6a state champion 

2013 South Dade 14-1 8a state champion 

2015 Viera 10-5 7a state runner ups 

2005 Deerfield Beach 11-4 6a state runner ups

2013 South Dade 14-1 8a state champion 

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

Also Bartow won state multiple times

Bartow won state 3 times

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

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

Pasco 1992

 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

That is a good list too

[nolebull813]

Pasco 1992 is a great one for the fact it's the only title in County history 

[DB4]

02 Ely is a good one. Tyrone Moss and the two linemen Andrew Bain and Cyrim Wimbs.

I forgot one

2003 Mainland 6a state champion 13-1

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

But have any of those teams bounced back and make it to States again the answer is no

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

 

[Pipe Dreams]

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.
