This team finished its season 14-1, its only loss a heartbreaker in the state finals.  It was the only team from this school to ever make a state final.   As a consolation, one of its players won Player of the Year honors and its hc won Coach of the year honors.

Who is the team?

Sandalwood's 1995 team, coached by FL Coach of the Year Bob Withrow, went 10-0 during the regular season.  In the playoffs, they beat Niceville, Lake Howell, and Winter Park before traveling to Orlando to beat Orlando Evans in the 6A semis.  In the state final versus Miami Northwestern, Sandalwood was up 7-0 at the half, but the Bull's All-American linebacker Nathaniel Webster shut them down in the second half and NW won 12-7.  Sandalwood's tailback Frankie Franklin, who rushed fro 2390 yards and 31 TD's that season, beat out Mainland qb TT Toliver to earn the FL Mr Football Award.

    • 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.
