Dade County has over 10 different public high schools who have won state titles.  Polk County has 5 different public schools that have won state titles.  Which county has the second-most number of different schools that have won FHSAA state titles?  It is not Polk County.

No. Neither of these had a stellar record during the 20th Century.

I guessed those because duval and broward are both dominated by privates 

 

Here's a interesting stat that shows how badly duval county underacheives

 

Columbia county with 2 public schools have as many public schools to have won a state championship in football as duval county (1 each) 

 

Duval county has close to a million people 

 

Columbia county barley has 50k people

 

Yet add in university Christian, trinity Christian and Bolles and suddenly duval is loaded in championships

 

The talent is there but those publics have no consistency and I don't expect the stat of raines being the only public in duval with a state championship to change

Very good MuckCityChamp...For those who don't know, Carver was a segregated school in Delray that won titles in the 1960's.

Palm Beach ties with Polk and Broward with 5 schools. Only 3 counties have more than 5 public schools with championships.  Dade is #1.

Darter guessed a longshot with Escambia...hmmm

Very good!  Brevard is #3 on the list with 6.  That's right, more than all those huge counties like Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough and Orange!  Melbourne High won a title in the 1960's and Merritt Island in the 1970's.  That is some rich history Brevard! 

Who is #2?

[DisabledAccount]

Leon and alachua only have 3 at most  that I'm aware of 

 

Leon (lincoln, Leon and i think Godby)

 

Alachua (Gainesville, buchholz, santa Fe)

 

We running out of counties

 

How many does Escambia County have? 

[Bocefous70]

Is it Escambia like previously mentioned? Escambia, Pensacola, pine forest, Tate, Washington, Woodham and someone I’m misding?

[DisabledAccount]

Yeah I'm gonna agree with darter on escambia County

 

I don't see any other counties with more than 6 at least public school wise

It is Escambia!  And ya'll missed one.  8 Escambia public schools won state titles....at least one winner in each of the last 5 decades.   Here they are...

Ernest Ward(1A/1979),  Escambia(3A/1984, 4A/1985), Northview(1A/2012), Pensacola(3A/2009), Pine Forest (5A/1987 &1988, 4A/2000) Tate(4A/1980), Washington (6A/1994), Woodham(4A/1982 & 1984-school closed in 2007)

Note:Century and Ernest Ward utlimately became Northview.  West Florida High is a rising power and may make it 9 in the next few years!

So, in order it is...

Miami-Dade-11 public school champions

Escambia-8

Brevard-6

Broward, Palm Beach & Polk-5

[OldSchoolLion]

...in case anyone is interested

Miami-Dade-Booker T Washington, Carol City, Central, Coral Gables, Edison, Hialeah Miami-Lakes, Killian, Miami, Norland, Northwestern, South Dade, Southridge

Broward-Dillard, Ely, Flanagan, Hollywood Hills, Miramar
