Well, in 2005, Tim Tebow was selected both Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball until it was revealed that he didn't actually play basketball and the award was given to Keith Brumbaugh from Deland.  One embarrassed media representatives was overheard saying "Well, I think everyone would agree that had Tebow played basketball, he would have been the best player in the state, and that was good enough for me."

Adrian McPherson was a 4-star recruit at Bradenton Southeast and was considered one of the top dual-threat qb's in the class of 2001.  He was Mr Florida Football and Mr Florida Basketball in the same year.  He led his team to two Class 4A state semifinal games, where they lost each time to St Thomas Aquinas in games decided by a TD or less 

He played a couple of years at FSU and played for a number of different teams in the Arena Football League and Canadian Football League.  He was associated with some interesting legal issues during his career.

      Schedule Release Progress as of July 2nd

      By LAZ · Posted

      Made a second pass through Maxpreps for all 576 (11-man teams). Yes, it takes a while.  Here's what I've come up with through this morning: 265 Schedules are complete (assumes 10 game regular season beginning either Week 0 for SSAA or Week 1 for everyone else, unless out of state opponent. 311 Schedules have problems. Here's the breakdown: 218 schedules reflect less than 10 games 88 schedules are impacted by conflicts. ie. Team having more than one opponent on the same day- or- scheduled opponent has more than one opponent on that day. 5 teams have 11 games scheduled. Seems like there's a lot of information to be gathered and rectified over the next few weeks.

      KICKOFF Classics must see games

      Went to both the Lakeland contest against Woodham and then the Saturday mid-day title game against Southridge the next week. Lakeland had no answer for the superior Woodham team speed on defense in the semi-final game. The next week title contest saw a opening KR for a TD by Woodham's Kerry Watkins to set the tone for this game. Felt Southridge was the more physical team, particularly with its running game. Each time however it appeared that Southridge was about to get back into a position to maybe take a lead, Woodham would find a way to re-establish its lead on the score board. Going up for that game led me, to learning about a super Soph across town at Ecsambia HS....as Escambia was playing ST Pete high thay night for the 3A state title. Woodham and Escambia would oddly enough both play for state titles the next year as well in Bradenton against Manatee and Southeast.

      I agree with you on the Norland upset. I think the whole state of Florida knew Norland was going to win and convincingly. People in Miami were like who's Berkeley Prep or atleast I was thinking that. I don't know when Norland will ever get back to states in my opinion.

      Biggest upset in Florida finals history. I would put Berkeley Prep over Norland second

      Haha. Second-best win in Bartow history. I was present for the top win in their history, on a cold afternoon in Daytona Beach in 1996
