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.

    • 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.
