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?

      The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship

      Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available

      Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.

      Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
