This may not have been Lakeland’s most vaunted team but they never gave up.  The mountain was high but dammit not impossible to climb.  Damn the naysayers, the hell with the critics.  Always underestimated, never intimidated. DREADNAUGHT NATION!!!!!!!!  L-TOWN, POLK COUNTY!!!!!

Congratulations to the nationally ranked St Thomas Raiders on a great season.

Lakeland played one hell of a game!  Bowman is a stud.   STA made too many mistakes and just didn't play good enough to win.   Happy for Coach Castle and the Naughts! 

 

PS....I know you guys were nervous when it looked like we got that onside!!!

LOL, I was like “not this $h!t again”

Great job! I went.

Lakeland was tougher. Period. That's why they won. Great coaching last night as well. Bend but don't break on D and grind hard between big plays on O. Aquinas was frustrated and was forced into a lot of mistakes. Not the best Aquinas squad I've seen on offense but still better than most in the state by far. 

 

Congrats to coach Castle. 15-0 overall State Champs!

Glad to see Lakeland bring it home. I knew they would have too much speed for STA on offense!!! Now, just pray and hope Bowman signs with DEM GATORS!!!!!

Seriously man!  I'm hearing he's big on UGA though.   Gators have to take UGA down next year.

    • Made a second pass through Maxpreps for all 576 (11-man teams). Yes, it takes a while.  Here's what I've come up with through this morning: 265 Schedules are complete (assumes 10 game regular season beginning either Week 0 for SSAA or Week 1 for everyone else, unless out of state opponent. 311 Schedules have problems. Here's the breakdown: 218 schedules reflect less than 10 games 88 schedules are impacted by conflicts. ie. Team having more than one opponent on the same day- or- scheduled opponent has more than one opponent on that day. 5 teams have 11 games scheduled. Seems like there's a lot of information to be gathered and rectified over the next few weeks.    
    • Went to both the Lakeland contest against Woodham and then the Saturday mid-day title game against Southridge the next week. Lakeland had no answer for the superior Woodham team speed on defense in the semi-final game. The next week title contest saw a opening KR for a TD by Woodham's Kerry Watkins to set the tone for this game. Felt Southridge was the more physical team, particularly with its running game. Each time however it appeared that Southridge was about to get back into a position to maybe take a lead, Woodham would find a way to re-establish its lead on the score board. Going up for that game led me, to learning about a super Soph across town at Ecsambia HS....as Escambia was playing ST Pete high thay night for the 3A state title. Woodham and Escambia would oddly enough both play for state titles the next year as well in Bradenton against Manatee and Southeast.
    • I agree with you on the Norland upset. I think the whole state of Florida knew Norland was going to win and convincingly. People in Miami were like who's Berkeley Prep or atleast I was thinking that. I don't know when Norland will ever get back to states in my opinion. 
    • Biggest upset in Florida finals history. I would put Berkeley Prep over Norland second 
    • Haha. Second-best win in Bartow history. I was present for the top win in their history, on a cold afternoon in Daytona Beach in 1996
