Quiz-The Most Dominating Defense


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

This team has had(arguably) the most dominating overall defensive performance of any program in the state series during the past 25 years.  During this time, this team has made multiple title game appearances and in playoff games during those title run seasons, they held their opponents to one TD or less in 70% of the games.  In 2 of those title game appearances, they held each of their opponents to less than 100 yards of total offense and 7 or fewer first downs.   In all of its playoff games over the past 25 years, this team has recorded 7 shutouts.

Who is the team?

Carol City

Carol City has played in 4 state title games over the past 25 years(1997, 1997, 2003, 2016), and won each time.  In those 4 games, they gave up a total of 30 points.  In the 20 playoff games they played those years, they held their opponents to 1 TD or less in 14 of the games.   For some perspective, Northwestern, who has a pretty good D, has given up 58 points in their past 4 title games and in 20 playoff games those title years held their opponents to 1 TD or less in 3 of the games.   

Very few teams have held a state final opponent to less than 100 yards of total offense.  Carol City has done it twice in the past 15 years, something no other team can claim.  In their 13-0 win against Edgewater in 2003, their defense gave up only 93 yards of offense and 7 first downs.  In their 14-6 win against Lake Gibson in 2016, their defense gave up only 89 total yards of offense and 5 first downs.   That included only 19 net rushing yards in 26 carries. 

Good job Bocefous!:)
