The Ultimate HS Talent Factory in FL/Blanche Ely High

[OldSchoolLion 1,590]

This school has produced more Parade and USA Today hs All-Americans than any other FL school in history.  Who is it?

[Miamidade92 56]

St. Thomas

2nd guess is MNW

[gatorman-uf 452]

I think the easy answer would be St Thomas Aquinas, but I am sure that is wrong. Clarifying question how far back does Parade and USA Today go? Like, do I have to think back to those 40s and 50s teams that had or is Parade and USA Todat a more modern thing 80s onward?

USA Today All-Americans  1982-present

Parade All-Americans 1963-present

And it is not St Thomas Aquinas or Miami Northwestern...though it might be some place close to them

This question has been bothering me. Last guess, is it Coral Gables?? They haven't done much lately, but they have a rich history.
