Who Are the 6 Most Consistent Playoff Teams of the Past 5 Years?

[OldSchoolLion]

Only 6 teams out there have made deep(3rd round or beyond) playoff runs each of the past 5 years.  Who are they?  Pick your 6 and let's see who can get the most.  It's OK to guess..just have fun.

There are a lot of great teams out there that did not make this list.  Demonstrates how hard it is for a program to churn out a contender year in and year out.

Crazy stat - Dr. Phillips & Apopka have represented “the north” 6 out of the past 9 years in the large class state championship game (67%).

Only other teams:

2018: Mandarin 

2015: Osceola

2011: Plant

Sorry folks, but I made a mistake and there are only 6 teams, not seven, who meet the criteria.  Badbird and KeemD each got 5 of the 6!

Let's count them down.  At #6 we have 2A Victory Christian of Lakeland.  The Storm won the 2A title in 2014, but have struggled to get back, losing in the third round each of the past 4 years.  This is the one that nobody got.

Tied at #4 we have Madison County and Dr Phillips.  In addition to three, 2-win playoff seasons, each team has made it past the third round twice.   

Amongst the larger public schools in Florida, ie 5A-8A, none has been more consistent in the playoffs over the past 5 years than Dr P.

At #3 we have Cocoa.  The Tigers are one of only 3 teams over the past 5 years to make it past the third round 3 times. 

At #2 we have Trinity Christian.  The Conquerors are one of only 2 teams over the past 5 years to make it past the third round 4 times.  TC played in 4 state semis over the past 5 years...an amazing feat.

At #1 is St Thomas Aquinas.  The Raiders are the only hs football team in FL to make it past the third round of the playoffs in each of the past 5 years.  No team has been more consistent over the past 5 years when it comes to making deep playoff runs.

Another way to look at this is to look at state semi final appearances. Keeping in mind that 1A-4A had one less round for a few years, now changed back to a possible five rounds, only two teams in all of Florida have been in the last six state semi final games. 

Can you name them?

Cocoa and St Thomas Aquinas

Correct with Cocoa.  The other is Victory Christian.  

The only two schools in the state of Florida to play in a State semi-final game in each of the last 6 years (2013-2018).
