23 Teams with 10 or Fewer Wins over the Past 5 Seasons

[OldSchoolLion]

I excluded schools that have been open less then 5 years.  4A has by far the highest concentration of such teams.  3A has the lowest such concentration.  Central Florida is most highly represented.

Westland(7A)-1 win

Leto(7A)-1

Dunedin(5A)-2

Strawberry Crest(7A)-4

Miami Mourning(7A)-4

Oakland Park Northeast(6A)-4

Wolfson(4A)-5

Jupiter(8A)-5

Poinciana(Ind)-6

Bronson(1A)-7

Jackson(Jacksonville-4A)-8

Lake Region(6A)-8

Pine Ridge(6A)-9

East Lee County(6A)-10

Gadsden(4A)-10

Interlachen(4A)-10

Dixie Hollins(6A)-10

Pensacola Washington(6A)-10 

Seminole(Seminole 7A)-10

Coral Park(8A)-10

Evans(8A)-10

Winter Springs(8A)-10

Varela(8A)-10

It is sad to see Evans and Winter Springs on the list. Both of these programs have been good in the past. Evans back in the 1990s and the first two years of the new century were actually one of the best teams in the Orlando area. Winter Springs have made the playoffs and won playoff games. WS was hurt, to some extent, by rezoning due to new schools and the loss of what had been a good staff. Evans was hurt (and continues to be), by the loss of talent to other schools in West Orange County. This has been exacerbated by unfriendly school administrations to sports and by, up to the last two years, strength in the soccer program (the large Caribbean influence at the school).

Contrast the above two with: Cypress Creek, Celebration, Colonial, Poinciana, etc, which have never been really good.

We talk so much about individual player transfers, Darter.  I sometimes wonder if other things like rezoning have just as much, if not more of an impact from a big picture perspective.  ...or poor planning, ie news schools opening up and quickly maxing out, forcing them to play in 7A/8A as brand new programs.  Without having details, such as you provided, one can draw the wrong conclusions about why a program has fallen off.  Some of these things are really outside the control of players and coaches.

All of the above affect a program's ability to be good. Also, not having an administration that is interested in sports leads kids to either transfer elsewhere or just not suit up at all. Both Evans and Winter Springs have suffered to a degree from both sets of circumstances. They both need a catalyst to get back on track.
