In one of the more dramatic finishes of the state finals, a team trailing in the fourth quarter went on a grinding 8-minute drive that involved 17 running plays, including three, fourth down conversions.  One of those was a 4th and goal with 14 seconds remaining. 

Who were the teams playing in that game?

Was it Miami Southridge over Dr Phillips in 2016?

Yeah, but we did not win a state championship that way. Besides which, most APK drives don't last 17 plays as there is usually a big 40 yard pickup on one of the plays!

I had the honor of seeing Apopka offense twice in action and those runs are tough to defend because you basically having to watch everyone because you won't know who will get the ball until they a few yards past the line of scrimmage

They're a tricky bunch.   I'm pretty sure that use more than one football on some of their plays.   B)

OldSchoolLion, you never claimed that the team that went on the long drive won the game  Are you referring to the 1991 state title game between Southridge and Evans that finished up tied at 22-22 I believe?

Jambun got it!!!!  It was the historic 1991 5A final between Southridge and Orlando Evans, which ended in a 22-22 tie.  I'll be doing a separate post about the game.     

Yes, and if I am not mistaken, the team that completed the drive missed the try to take the lead. They were trailing 22-16 when the drive started.

You mean to tell me even as late as 1991 they didn't have OT for a state championship?

The FHSAA changed the rules after this game. I had just moved to the Orlando area the year before, and the grandson of a lady I stayed with for the first three months I was in the area, was a backup on that Evans team.

Wow 

 

The NFL had it back in 1958 for championship contests and while I can't remember when it expanded out further I'm surprised that high school and college football waited so long to adopt OT 

Do you remember my story about the old "penetration" rule for settling playoff games?

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.

      I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.
