I thinks its great you take the time to compile this data, but was wondering why 1993 and not 1992? The data for at least one team is impacted for both appearance and state title won by going back one year? Perhaps the best way to do this, is something like Laz always does......that is to do it by decades or compile data based on multiple decades?

What prompted me to do this exercise was another post about Deerfield Beach.  I was curious how Deerfield compared to other schools in terms of state semi appearances.  I wanted to answer two questions.

What teams have been in a lot of state of semifinals?

Are there other teams like Deerfield that have a poor percentage of winning state titles relative to state semi appearances?

1993 was the first year Deerfield appeared in a state semi and 1993=25 years, so it's a "nice" number....thus I chose 1993. 

If we went back to the beginning of the FHSAA, the teams with 8 or more semi appearances would look very similar-see below.  Carol City and Southridge would join the list.   

I think it is fair to say that any team listed below is part of an elite group, and a certain amount of expectations follow them each year, regardless of how many state titles each has won.  Although Deerfield, Osceola and Mainland have not had much luck winning state titles compared to others on the list, their programs are more successful than over 95% of the large school programs out there today.

 

St Thomas Aquinas 22

Lakeland 15

Armwood 13

Manatee 13

Carol City 11

Northwestern 10

Plant 10

Osceola 9

Southridge 9

Lincoln 8 

Naples 8 

Mainland 8 

Deerfield Beach 8

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
