These are my winners.  Feel free to debate, bashful patrons of the Board!:)  Listed are the 5-year records of teams in each county.  One can see what a relatively high percentage of weak teams reside in these counties.  I only considered the counties with larger populations.   Duval is kind of a tough one to judge.  There is such a huge disparity there between the "rich" and the "poor."  But looking at the county as a whole, the sheer number of weak teams there disappoints.

#1 Lee County (14 public schools-Bonita Spgs does not play)

Island Coast 17-36 

Cypress Lake 15-33 

Mariner 15-34  

Ida Baker 14-36 

Estero 14-37 

Gateway Charter 11-41 

East Lee County 10-38 

 

#2 Pasco County (12 public schools)

Lecanto 17-33 

Anclote 16-33 

Pasco 16-34 

Fivay 14-35 

Gulf 11-40 

 

#3(Tie) Duval County (17 public schools)

Westside 16-32 

Englewood 16-39 

Paxon 15-39 

Stanton 14-39 

Parker 14-41 

Jackson 8-39 

Wolfson 5-44

 

#3(Tie) Pinellas County (18 schools)

Gibbs 17-34 over 5 years

Seminole 10-39 over 5 years

Dixie Hollins 10-39 over 5 years

Dunedin 2-47 over 5 years

Duval is the perfect example of a top heavy county

 

Very little middle ground, either they have teams with loaded rosters or they are transfer feeders for ones who are 

 

Right now it seems the hot teams in duval is Lee, Raines, Trinity Christian 

Then Mandarin starting to come into play

 

Then you got sandalwood and Fletcher on side closest to beach as well as solid ones like Bolles, Ribault and university Christian

 

 

 

Rest are basically feeding those schools as their better players transfer to one of the above listed schools and Duval has always had laxed movement of players even before the new rules

While at the bottom Duval is demonstrably bad per the above. Duval's public schools won two state titles this year: Mandarin and Raines. So, in my opinion, that leaves Pinellas as the sole county in third place.

I was surprised to find out that Raines has had so many athletes play in the NFL. If I  remember correctly they are one of the top 10 in Florida.

They are. They have suffered from coaching and other issues. With the last two seasons under their belt, they seem to be doing better. Will it last? That is the question of the decade.

You can stop bashing Dunedin we are officially going independent and going to create a schedule that includes the villages school for the blind combined with leto, Gulf, Pasco etc for the next 2 years.

I exaggerate but this is something I have been saying Dunedin should do for some years... They have to play teams that they can actually compete against gain some wins and confidence and perhaps attract more kids to the program.

Not that it makes a world of difference but Lecanto is not in Pasco County. It is located in Citrus County although they do play a lot of Pasco teams, which does not really help Pasco County get out of #2 spot.

good catch!!

    • When Marcus Vick was at Virginia Tech, his brother Michael Vick was making tens of millions of dollars in the NFL. Being his brother, Marcus was showered with luxury cars, jewelry and housing. How is this not impermissible benefits? Because they share blood? And if so, how much blood is enough? What if it was a step dad who was loaded? Is he allowed to give you all the money you want as a student athlete? What about a family friend? A friend of your parent who was friends with the family before you were born? Is he allowed to shower you with gifts?    How detached from the athlete does the person have to be for it be considered “impermissible benefits”????
    • I think public sentiment has shifted to where most think the rules should be changed so all schools are allowed to offer such benefits to the best of their ability. I also think it's worth noting that, after being hammered by the FHSAA, The First Academy has continued recruiting and simply scheduled an extremely ambitious national schedule, while forgetting about the watered down FHSAA playoffs. We're going to see more programs go this route. Eventually, there will be enough such programs that a new league, operating under an entirely different (and capitalist!) set of rules, is formed and will feature the top programs. This will bring about the "separate playoffs for schools who recruit" idea many here have clamored for. Again, at the root of all of this is the fact that big time, for-profit sports programs have grown beyond what school systems are equipped to deal with. The schools need to see their way out of big time sports. And the big time sports can market themselves on a regional/geographic basis instead of the old "cheer for the alma mater" approach. 
    • yep, see my post below yours and above this one...
    • As I understand it, Teddy is in trouble, not because he donated out of his own pocket, but because he gave it directly to the football program. The powers that be wanted that money to go to the school admin and/or Dade county schools. And those entities then would distribute equal shares of that money across the entire school and/or district (after squandering a large share for themselves). The spirit or ideology driving that process is "equity", which, by an overwhelmingly gaping margin, is THE biggest focal point of education today. This isn't a secret, or a "conspiracy theory" : they tell us all this themselves. Things like learning to read, do math, operate a business etc are all tertiary in importance now. Primarily and secondarily, the focus is "equity". From Kindergarten through PHD programs in ALL fields (yes, including quantum physics). And, "equity" is measured in outcomes: only when everyone- to borrow the phrase of the former Vice President- ends up in the same place with the same stuff will we have "equity".  When Teddy opens up his wallet and gives to the football program, the refrain of "equity" monsters is "but what about the girls tennis team" or "what about the football program at Miami Springs?" Teddy's helping MNW football exclusively means unequal or "inequitable" outcomes, and this is sharply opposed in education at all levels today. When Northwestern beat Jackson 48-6 last year, the "equity" monsters in education likely spiraled into deep depression. Pooling the gate among all schools in a district, instead of keeping it between the teams who actually played, is an example of "equity" ideology fouling things up. Like you said, the top few programs end up propping up the moribund programs, a la "Weekend at Bernies". The number one philosopher in academia and within the "equity" movement is Karl Marx. There's always been semantic games played around socialism/communism/Leninism/Marxism/Maoism. What they all have in common is hatred for capitalism and worship of Marx. And Marx conceded that socialism inevitably leads to communism. The ultimate, overarching goal, is the abolition of the state into a classless society free of private property, international borders, police, jails and, yes, market-based economies. Socialism is understood to be a transitionary phase to communism which often appeals to dimwits. To be an admin in a public school system, one must go through extensive graduate level education programming. These programs are currently DOMINATED by socialists/communists/Marxists...throughout academia everywhere in the world. Therefore, we can be certain that the overwhelming majority of administrators witin Dade County schools are socialists/communists/Marxists. That's what Teddy is running up against. The school and district want all money and benefits distributed equally and Teddy didn't play by those rules.
    • because they are cheating.  They should suspend the entire program and not allow them in the playoffs for two years.  It's one thing to give a kid a ride home from practice that lives in your zone and its another to be paying for rides for kids that don't live in your zone and wouldn't be coming to your school if you were not paying for them to get there.  This was the pattern and not just a random occurrence.  The physical therapy and paying for personal training is also enticement.  There is a reason they got 60 recruits errrr transfers over the last two years.  The school suspended him because the fhsaa is about to hammer them.  Bridgewater will get a minimum 6 games suspension and a $5k fine from the fhsaa.  The next time he will be suspended from ever coaching in Florida.  The school is facing harsh penalties and they are trying to avoid them.   The other stuff pride packs, team meals, field paint, camps could have been paid for by the school.  He could have just donated the money to the school and paid for it.  I'm not sure how to feel in this case.  I'm sure Teddy loves Northwestern and loves those kids but he was either oblivious to the rules or didn't care to follow them.
