The Greatest FL HS Playoff Team Ever?

Recommended Posts

Check out these teams, each averaging 20-21 pts allowed per playoff game.  Note that most of the teams above averaged 14-17 points allowed per playoff game and their frequency of shutouts is greater.  They say defense wins championships, and "they" are right. 

If your team is allowing 20 or more points per game during an individual season, don't count on winning a state title, regardless of how potent your offense is.   Most state title winners allow 17 points or less, on average.

Vero Beach

  • 39-33 in the playoffs
  • 6 shutouts
  • Allowed an average of 20 points per playoff game
  • Worst playoff defeat: 37-6 loss to Lakeland in 1986.

Columbia

  • 36-33 in the playoffs
  • 5 shutouts
  • Allowed an average of 21 points per playoff game
  • Worst playoff defeat: 47-6 loss to Pine Forest in 1988.  .

Deerfield Beach

  • 38-28 in the playoffs
  • 4 shutouts
  • Allowed an average of 20 points per playoff game
  • Worst playoff defeat: 41-3 loss to Apopka in 2001.

Surely this must be a typo. DB has been in the highest class since the early 2000s at least. By contrast Madison over this time has been in the lowest three classes. I doubt these two teams have met in the playoffs over the past 19 seasons.

It's not Madison County.  Over the past 20 years, MC has been one of the most successful small schools in the playoffs.  But prior to that, they really weren't in the picture.  Except for a handful of games, they have kept their playoff losses relatively close.    

  • 55-19 in the playoffs
  • 12 shutouts
  • Allowed an average of 23 points per playoff game
  • Worst playoff defeat: Osceola 32-0 back in the 90's

That was my second guess. My first is St. Thomas.

    • 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.
