Going to throw out a total guess:  Lakewood?

Interesting guess, but no.  This team was a powerhouse during a certain decade.  Folks from that part of the state may remember the heartbreak of this program at that time.  They played in a brutal classification and simply ran into some tough playoff brackets.  Had a very good coach, too.

This is a tough one, there are some teams I can think of who had heartbreaking losses 6 straight years but not sure if they all came in regional finals 

 

Someone like Dr Phillips comes to mind but I believe they made finals and final 4 trips during their run of heartbreak

 

I'm sure there are others but I'm stumped for the moment

I wouldn't expect you to know this one.  This team is not from the northern part of the state.

OK, I think I've got it narrowed down to one of three teams: (1) Merritt Island (in the '90's), (2) Vero (in the 90's or between '08 and '15), and (3) Frostproof (between '82 and '87, after finishing runners-up in '81).  I'll have to do some more digging to figure out when each of those teams got knocked out during the time periods noted.

Sorry, but no on all of those.  You'll have to travel south.

Plantation HS mid '90's thru early 2000's

It is Plantation, who lost in the third round each year between 1995-2000.  6A South was a murderer's row back then, with Miami Central, Carol City, Northwestern, Southridge, Deerfield Beach and Dillard all competing against each other in the playoffs.  2 of Plantation's losses came against Northwestern and 2 against Dillard.

No need to refer to good folks on here as "trash."  That is disrespectful.  

I don't know what's wrong with little Jesse. He constantly craves attention but in the wrong way. Strikes me as a kid that did not make the cut for the team and must now somehow compensate for that by being a jerk on the message board.

These big city folk from Madison County think us country folk are trash.

He's not even from Madison County.  His team was trash (his words) so he adopted Madison County.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
