1983 3A Title Titusville vs Palatka

Recommended Posts

These are some highlights from the 1983 3A final, which featured the 1981 3A champion and 1982 3A champion teams.

Titusville, under coach Al Werneke, was one of the powerhouse teams of the 1980's, with 6 playoff appearances, 13 playoff wins, 2 state titles, and 1 runner-up.  They stomped St Thomas Aquinas in the semis.

Palatka was lead by first-year coach Jim McCool and won some close playoff games to get to the finals.  

Back then, title games were often played at the home field of one of the finalists and getting to see a final on TV was a real treat.

Good old Draa Field. I remember traveling to that stadium many times for both Titusville and Astronaut football games. It was nice how one sideline was for the Terriers, and had their logo, and the other sideline was for the War Eagles, and had their logo. Now, neither team plays there anymore if I am correct.

    • 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.
