Is Columbia one?

They would have been more likely in the 90s to have made list 

 

During 80s Columbia made only 5 playoff appearances and finished with 3 wins

 

Though interesting note 2 of wins came over the best public historically in Duval County history and one of those teams was one of first nationally ranked teams in FL

 

Though Columbia would lose to state power in round 2 both years (also same team)

Some Baker history

 

Baker and Glades Day met in the finals 5 out of 6 years.  Baker did not make it in 1981 losing in the state semis to Mayo ed by Kerwin Bell.  Mayo would win that year. Glades Day won in 80,82.  Baker won in 83,84,85 and set the record for most consecutive wins at the time at 42. Streak was snapped by Walton led by Jeff Webb who later coached Baker to the 93 state title.  Baker missed the playoffs in 86 losing the last game of the season to Century.  Century was leading by 5 or 6 late and fumbled.  Matt Brunson, now the head coach at Baker, scooped up the fumble and ran about 70 yards to only get walked down on the 5 yard line late in the game.  Baker was unable to score ending their season and John Ensor's coaching career.  He went into administration. Century went on to lose to Glades Day 7-6 in the finals and Century turned the ball over 7 times.  Baker could have easily won 7 state titles in a row
