Great Comeback Teams of the Playoffs-Glades Central '98


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

This team, on its way to a state title, won all five of its playoff games by coming from behind to win.  In the state semifinals, this team was down by 11 points to the top-ranked team in the state with only 3 minutes left, and scored 22 points to win the game in front of a home crowd.  In one of the more memorable state finals, this team was down by 2 TD's in Gainesville with 8 minutes left to play.  They scored 2 TD's, but missed both conversion attempts, leaving them behind by 2 points.  Their defense held, but they got the ball back on their own three yard line with 1:30 to play.  Their qb, who had one of the more productive passing performances for a qb in a state final, marched his team down the field and hit a Hail Mary to win it.

1. Who was this great comeback team?

2. Who did they beat in the state final?

3. Who was that qb?

Bonus question: That qb is the uncle of a great FL hs running back.  Who?

Dang, that one took some work!   

In 1998, Glades Central scored 3 TDs in the final 6:41 (including the Hail Mary in the closing seconds) to beat Madison County 33-28 for the 4A Championship.  So, yes, there was a time when Madison County was in 4A. 

The QB for Glades Central was Jerry Campbell, who is the uncle of former Galdes Day RB Kelvin Taylor, who also is the son of former Gator/Jaguar, Fred Taylor. 

At least that's what I was able to find.

It is the 1998 Glades Central team.  This was their first of three state titles between 1998-2000.  That #1-ranked team they beat in the semis was Miami Monsignor Pace.  Jerry Campbell was their qb and lit up the Madison County secondary for 301 yards.  And he is the uncle of Kelvin Taylor.

Don't bring this up. Jessie says that Madison County never loses.

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
