Gaither faces a tough task traveling to Escambia.  Over the past 45 years, 22 teams in the upper classes have traveled west of Tallahassee for a state semi and only 5 teams have returned home with a win.  All of the teams are from the western half of central FL.  Who are the teams?

Bonus Question: One of those 5 teams won 2 state semis in the Panhandle.  Who is it?

Of the two remaining teams, one is from Hillsborough County and won a state semi in the 2000's.  For the 5th team, we have to go all the way back to the 1980's for their state semi win in the Panhandle.

1989: Manatee over Washington 40-12

2001: Chamberlain over Rutherford 21-17

Robinson played Choctow twice in the 70s. in '71 Semis, they won. Lost in final to Fort Pierce Central (29-13).  In '77, Choctow beat Robinson in the Semis. Choctow lost to Carol City in the Final (10-7)

You are right about Robisnon.  For the purpose of this exercise, I only went back to the mid 70's.

      I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

      Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

      There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic

      From 2018-2021 when Dillard was one of the top 5 teams in broward we got there because on the beginning we schedule within our actual talent on the field, we showed success that we are atleast a avg program being able to take care of business against avg and below avg teams. And with the right personnel we can become above avg and actually contend.    and with that came a undefeated regular season in 2019 with a regional final birth, a undefeated COVID season in 2020 and a Fri county championship and a 1 loss season in 2021 and a second round exit on the road to homestead.    dillard has to get back to that. But scheduling central, chaminade , sta and etc of back dropping each game by 40 is not gonna help the program.    you can say “aye atleast we scheduled them we didn’t back down” like I’ve said several times on here lol. but there’s no moral victories in football. You either won or you lost.
