This is the one I'm 100% positive I know the answer to, but out of respect. I won't spoil it. A hint would be it also starts with a C.

#5 Marshall, Turkey Creek, Pine Crest

I got nothing for #1 or #3

I'm going to take a guess at #1. Was it St. Leo? St Leo in Pasco county is now a college only but once both a high school and a college.

That’s right!! They been playing since at least 1924 and were Jesuit’s main rival. I believe they stopped fielding a high school team in the 60’s

[nolebull813 606]

Coincidentally, Jesuit was referred to as Tampa College High before 1940

#3 - Armwood ('03, '04 and '11 with an asterisk), Blake ('69), Jefferson ('10), Jesuit ('68), and Plant ('06, '08, '09, and '11).
