you have 5 head coaches.  I hope they get along with each other

Actually Brian Allen was voted to be the head coach

 

The other 4 are assistant coaches as I took the 5 longest tenured and winningest coaches in history of Columbia to claim the coach slots

Definitely check it out, also got a lot of good stuff on the website in general

So, I assume these players were all-time best at Columbia. But I noticed that no one was listed before the 1940s. And, I believe Columbia has been around before 1940 and probably played football before then. Is there any reason no "golden age" old timers were not on your list? Lack of information, etc.?

1940 was the earliest nomination we received when doing the list, unfortunately nominations were needed because information on the older teams were nearly impossible to come by

Makes sense. The people knowledgeable of those teams have probably all died off by now.

Pretty much 

 

It's a shame but I could only work with so much when those older programs had practically no records available from that time period

I played for Columbia High from 87-89.  Gary Atkins and Scott Adams were outstanding linemen who should get some recognition.  Kipp Davis, the FB was a beast!

Everything was nomination based because of not having access to rosters in that era (the downside to doing this for a school not very good at keeping records) 

 

Though what was your thoughts on the list overall? You still keep up with the team?

No, I keep track of their results yearly though.  I joined the Marine Corps out of high school and retired in 2011, settling in Virginia.  I teach and coach at a high school up here.

Hello, and welcome to this message board. I was wondering how you would describe the state of High School Football in the Old Dominion State? How is the officiating, the coaching, the state Association etc? Also, what part of Virginia do you coach and teach? Thank you for your military service.

VA HS football is not what FL HS football is...or at least was.  There is no Spring football, only 7 on 7 flag football.  There is less emphasis on football here.  A lot less community support and involvement than what we had in Lake City in the 90s.  Having said that there are certainly programs here that could compete in FL just not across the board.  Each year there are realistically about 2-4 teams in each classification (6 total) that compete for the state title.  Officiating is awful.  I teach and coached at King George HS about 20 miles east of Fredericksburg.

Thank you, would you be willing to expand on the "officiating is awful" comment?

The officiating is really inconsistent.  Some crews want to be a big part of the game (ego) and others won't call anything.  We played in the regional finals this year and the officiating was outstanding.  Then we played in the state semifinals and it was awful.  Just never know what to expect.

Nope

 

After Columbia beat Madison 76-0 in 1966 they avoided the tigers until 2003 

Nah madison wasn't a school until 1970s or 80s.

    • Bayside went up to play Lowndes and lost 50-0 and 69-0 in back to back years for $25,000 total. I think that’s why so many garbage FL teams play good GA teams. 
    • And did he “beg”? Or did he simply ask one sentence and see if anyone can help with fundraising? Every single team we have been apart of from 4 years old to high school has fund raised. I don’t remember begging anyone for money. But I guess I’m not a millionaire who coaches a transfer factory. Lol. 
    • ALL programs in the state of Florida would love to have more money, and really need more. Teddy happens to have enough name recognition and reach- including wealthy current and former NFL players- that he may well succeed in getting money. Whether he succeeds or not, he's calling attention to the problem. (Of course, if the number of schools investing in football programs was sharply reduced, and all of the money which has been spread thin among poor programs was consolidated towards a smaller number of super programs, those super programs would be financed much more effectively.)
    • Could be for kids out of the zone who attend the school who are in a family situation that makes it extremely difficulty to attend practices, school, games etc all the time. Could be a single parent who works 2 jobs who has a kid transfer to MNW in hopes that the exposure could earn him a scholarship. We have no idea unless it’s explained. Ubers are expensive as hell. More than taxis used to be. My son’s school is 8 miles from our house. He needed a ride one day for football practice so we looked up Uber and they wanted $40!!
    • I don't know why this state is so far behind every other state football powers regarding coaching salaries and financial support?  More evidence is Teddy having to use $14k of his own money last year.  On a side note, isn't paying for uber rides an impermissible benefit?  I mean if you didn't recruit kids out of your area, they wouldn't need those rides anyway Teddy...  but I digress.  https://www.the-sun.com/sport/14663753/teddy-bridgewater-miami-northwestern-donations/#:~:text=The free agent quarterback Bridgewater,team%2C the Miami Northwestern Bulls.&text=Bridgewater made a long plea,by the school through donations.
