The Most Dominant FL HS Defense Ever? Pensacola 2009

Recommended Posts

This team gave up less than 100 points on its way to a 14-1 record and the school's first state title.  That included 6 shutouts, including multiple shutouts during its playoff run.  In the regional finals, they shut out a team that came into the game 12-0 and averaging 43 points per game.  They won the state title game without completing a single pass.  Their defense never allowed more than 14 points in a game during the season.  

Who was this great state championship team?

Flanagan's 2015 defense wasn't bad.  Didn't give up a TD in the first half of any game until the state title.

They could certainly make a case, badbird, though they are not the team I described above.  They did finish 2015 12-2 with 6 shutouts, including 3 in the playoffs, and they gave up less than 100 points total for the season.  .

Pensacola High's 2009 state championship team, shown winning the title below, allowed their playoff opponents only 13 points in 5 games.  In the regional finals, they traveled all the way to powerful St Augustine and shut them out 9-0.  

 

What happen to them afterwards did the coach eventually leave or the talent just wasn’t the same as that special year

Ha they were really good.  Almost shocked the world that year.  Rainey busted off a 70 plus yard run middle of the fourth quarter to beat us.  

The defense in 2006 wasn't anything to write home about. It was an uneven group. Really good DL in John Brown, really good safeties in Black and Wilks, and a lot of otherwise average guys. They struggled to get stops vs. St. X, Kathleen, Mainland (at times) and STA. Perhaps the 2005 version was the one he meant to say?

    • 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. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
