Pinellas County’s one and only “State Title”

Before the 1960’s teams were crowned mythical state champions. There was publications in the state who unofficially crowned them but since there was no playoff, it was all moot. Teams would recognize based on points systems who the champion was for the entire state. Especially at the a time when there wasn’t that many teams. So usually the undefeated team took the “crown” 

In 1925 Pinellas County’s greatest team ever was able to make the claim as “State Champion”. They beat every single power in the state at the time enroute to an undefeated season capped off by beating the Georgia State Champ in a postseason bowl game. They played 10 games and only allowed 3 points total. 9 shutouts. Gotta be close to a record. 

Here was the results to Pinellas County’s One and only Football State Champion 

1925 (10-0)

Arcadia 13-0

Sarasota 60-0

West Palm Beach 42-0

Key West 95-0

Hillsborough 30-3

Lake City 55-0

Miami High 21-0

Duval High 3-0

Ft Myers 26-0

Atlanta Tech,GA 13-0

Sorry. Lol. St Pete High 

Pretty impressive. To give up just one field goal all season regardless of strength of schedule is very difficult.

Given they beat a Georgia state champion, I would guess that some of the teams they played in Florida were pretty tough. Of course, I don't know how strong Georgia football was compared with Florida back then.

    • 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.
