Raines was the first duval public to win state in a decade or longer

I like your guess, but am looking for something that did NOT happen this year.  Every year since the early 90's something has happened at the state finals that did not happen this year.   Pay special attention to the teams who played this year.

The answer I am looking for is not a statistic, per se.  It has to do with the teams....something that did NOT happen.

Suwannee played cardinal gibbons and won 

 

(something that would be a huge surprise to people these days since Suwannee hasn't been at that level in almost 30 years and cardinal gibbons is one of top teams in state

 

But i have a feeling that's not it so maybe I'm just not getting this one

 

You said its something to do with matchups is it just the teams playing or is it have to do with the formation of the programs playing (public or private)

No running clocks in a state finals game

 

We came close this year to having 8 games with no running clocks (thanks Baker County)

And Trinity Christian wasn't in a finals this season

You are very close Keem!:)

In the past 20 years, BOTH STA and Trinity were absent at a state final series only once (2011).  But it has been over 20 years since

STA and _____ have both been missing at the same state final series.

Bolles?

Good job all!  Believe it or not, this past season marked the first time since 1994 that neither Bolles nor St Thomas Aquinas was playing for a state title.  In fact, since 1990, Bolles and/or STA have played for a state title every year except for 1994 and 2017.  In 1994, STA almost made it, but got stopped by Bradenton Southeast in the state semis.

Maybe this is the beginning of the end of private school domination.:rolleyes:  I can hear rocks hitting my screen.:lol:

Well Bolles don't look to be heading back to states (at least while in 5a) anytime soon

 

Plus Trinity Christian is a much better team at this point then Bolles is

 

 

And sta had to have the run end eventually 

 

Privates are going to be around but maybe we will have different privates now lol

      DiLLARD HIGH 2024 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

      By THIS_IS_DILLARD · Posted

      When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day.    but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided.    and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other.    I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year.    if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater.

      I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

      Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

      There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic
