Great Programs That Have Never Been State Champs

The answers...great job, badbird!

Atlantic-5 title game appearances

Columbus-4 title game appearances

Deerfield Beach-1 title game appearance

Edgewater-3 title game appearances

Lake Wales-2 title game appearances

South Sumter-1 title game appearance 

 

Deerfield Beach and South Sumter both got blown out in their only title game appearances. 

The biggest tough luck stories....Edgewater appeared in 3 straight 6A title games.  They lost the 2002 title to Miami Norland on a last minute Hail Mary.  In both 1980 and 1982, Columbus had to travel about 700 miles from Miami to Pensacola to play in the 4A finals.  In 1982, they had to play undefeated Woodham(now closed) in the final, a team that was ranked #4 in the country by USA Today.  In 2014, Columbus lost by 7 points to Apopka in the 8A final and last season Columbus lost by 2 points to Mandarin.

    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave.
