In the past 14 seasons, Plant has had only 2 two-loss regular seasons, 6 state title appearances, 4 titles, and 13 straight district championships and they don't make the list? Very suspect. 

The requirements were clearly stated though

 

Columbia for example has only had one losing season since 1987 but that came in 2008 which was within the window he presented 

 

In fact all but 1 of those seasons besides the 08 season when we went   4-6  was at .500 (5-5 in 2005)

 

So in last 32 years, 30 of them were 6 wins or better 

 

 

If we had the all time records of every team i would be curious how many in FL would have a better stretch than that

The list is not a measure of titles.  And 15 years is a nice round number for trending.

Stop with Columbia. No titles in 52 years. I remember them making a title game around 2000ish, however.

This thread ain't about titles 

 

It's about consistency 

 

 

You talk up plant and Armwood every year like they are powerhouses but every time they face a powerhouse what happens?

BTW, 4 of those "regular season" losses are to OOS powerhouses. John Curtis, Colquitt, Lowndes (OK, at the time good, but not a "power") and Abilene (defending state champs; close game); OOS wins are BC, John Paul; a tie in Georgia as well.

Surprised John Curtis would play a powerhouse like plant, they didn't seem to want to face anyone good from FL when offered this year 

 

I know of 2 potential contenders in their respective class in FL that John Curtis could have played but completely dodged

157-20 for Plant in 14 years. 160 and 27 for 15 years (3-7 2004 season counted); All Robert Weiner. Still better than Wakulla. So what's your criteria?

Relatively few programs have had winning seasons(finished with more wins than losses) EACH of the past 15 seasons.  These are the teams that arguably reload better than any other programs of the modern era.  Who are the teams?  I did consider forfeits in this exercise.  If not for forfeits, Armwood and Miami Central would make the list.

 

Lakeland     179-19 (90%)

St Thomas     195-24 (89%)

Bolles     173-28 (86%)

Dwyer     164-31 (84%)

Naples     154-30 (84%)

Cocoa     161-35 (82%)

American Heritage Plantation     149-36 (81%)

Columbus     148-37 (80%)

Apopka      154-43 (78%)

Bishop Moore     139-41 (77%)

Wakulla     130-44 (75%)

Niceville     131-45 (74%)

North FL Christian     132-48 (73%)

Where would Central and Armwood be without forfeits?  Just curious.

Plant has gotten kudos and "made the list" in a number of my threads, ie below, and the fact that it didn't make the cut for one set of criteria does not take away from its accomplishments.  I thought it was nice to find a way to recognize a program like Wakulla, that does not typically get mentioned much on this forum.   

FYI-Manatee and Trinity Christian also just missed the list, along with Plant.

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
