STA is team of the decade 2010-2019

[Floridatech 204]

1x national champs

6x state champion

1x runner up 

41 playoff wins 

Beat Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach powers

Highlight wins 

Deerfield Beach

Miramar (won states that 2009)

Northwestern 

AHP (won states that year 2014)

BTW (won states that year 2015)

Carol City

Flanagan (won states that year 2015)

Mandarin (defending champs from 2018)

Atlantic

Dwyer 

Manatee (were no.1 in 2012)

Plant 

Osceola 

Venice 

Viera

Lincoln

Edgewater 

 

STA only missed going to states in 2011, 2013, and 2017......Dwyer and Venice are the only reason why they ain't go to states those years and both teams had a hard time beating STA when they weren't at their fullest 

 

Miami Central can argue against being team of the decade too.....

6x state champion

1x runner up 

Stuck in the most difficult district to win, that's the only reason they ain't go to states damn near every year of the decade (2010-2019)...but an impressive run they had tho

I actually would give nod to Central as they faced a much tougher path to get their 6 championships (the national title is opinion based)

It's up for debate tho I see your argument because Miami central did beat STA and beat Bishop Gorman and Don Bosco prep who STA lost too

STA beat teams that beat Central too.   Camden County, Manatee etc.

Compare the regions of STA and Miami Central and it's not even close, Miami Central faced much tougher competition whether it was in regional play or at state

That's true too but I give the nod to STA anyways....

Highly unlikely but even if it's true how does STA running clock a team mean their CURRENT region is good??

It means overall bruh if STA were in 6a like Miami Central, they would runnin clock em

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Or at least the region they had most of the decade

 

 

Fort Lauderdale and Ely were their district for what felt like at least half the decade and Dwyer and Venice were only somewhat decent threats in the South region to them until 7a got stronger this year and even then you just added Atlantic and Manatee to the South

 

 

Miami Central spent most of decade sharing a district with Norland, Carol City and Miami Northwestern, all of whom won state titles this decade and combined had 5 state championships between those 3 schools

Did STA share a district any year this decade with a team who won a state title during the decade?

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

You can give STA credit for beating some oos schools and winning state but their Region for this decade was terrible and don't come close to the playoff path of 6a 4 AT ANY POINT this decade

I'm well aware their district is tough which keeps them from being team of the decade BUT in 2017 they had a potential state team, 2018 samething, now they could be for the next decade claiming more state titles and beating the other Miami teams constantly

STA made Manatee, Dwyer, Venice, Plant and Viera look like amateurs in the playoffs

No one in this thread is arguing STA's district is tougher than MC's.

Maybe not but district and region strength should play a factor as it shows the playoff path of each team

 

Both STA and Miami Central got 6 titles this decade but while one spent most of the decade in the district of death, another had a region full of cupcakes for most of the decade

STA destroyed teams like Dwyer, Venice, Viera, and Plant in the playoffs these teams can easily compete anywhere in the state

When one of those teams can beat a loaded Miami Central team let me know

I'd be interested in going through the years and comparing.    

2010      STA on paper one of their best teams ever.   That being said, MC seemed to struggle vs option teams back then and I would be kidding myself if I said MC wouldn’t give STA a game.   

*Playoff difficulty very slight edge MC only because South Dade>>>Cooper City.    Both Miami and Creek sucked.    BA beat Cypress bay 36-17 that year.   Manatee and Plant  vs MNW and DP would be a VERY interesting debate (back then I would have said Manatee/Plant no doubt), looking back ehhh I think it's pretty close.  

 STA:  beat Camden County GA 42-28 (home),  beat Cypress Bay  60-14 (away) 

 *playoff wins: Coconut Creek (59-0),  Cooper City (49-7),  Boyd Anderson (47-6), Manatee (31-7), Plant (30-7)

Central:  Lost Camden Co GA  42-45 (away),  beat Cypress Bay 30-27 (away?)

*playoff wins: Miami  (55-0),  MNW (42-27), South Dade (38-7), Cypress Bay (30-27),  DP  (42-27)

2010: Edge STA  (MC was NASTY though) 

I'll try and do 2011 and 2012 tomorrow.

2019 geico named STA national champs

[954gator 480]

I went through the years and results (even though Maxpreps is off in a lot of spots SMH)  

I had the final tally at 5-5.  So very close indeed.  

I gave STA  2010, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2019

Central  2011, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018

Some years are very debatable IMO.

So since it's practically even would it be fair to give Central the overall better decade because of their Region being stronger on average this decade?

 

 

I think STA is a close second for team of the decade but I was just more impressed by Miami Central run this decade because of how tough a road they had

It is very close, both won 5 state titles a piece, even tho MC ain't go to states for like 3 years in a row, they were in the mix and they beat alot of national ranked teams

It's a draw I'll even make another thread on this to clear it up
