With only about 40 seconds left, Lakeland scored the go-ahead TD against their opponent and all but had the game sealed.  But their opponent shocked the Naughts by marching down the field on 5 straight passing plays and tied the game in the closing seconds, sending the game into OT.  An unsportsmanlike penalty on the tying extra point cost the Naughts dearly and they ultimately lost the game.  The Naughts had come into this game having won over 25 straight games. 

Who was the team who beat them that memorable night?

That's it!  This game was played in Lakeland.  The Naughts had over 130 yards in penalties and fumbled the ball in OT, allowing the Raiders to kick a field goal and win 25-22.  This snapped a 27-game winning streak by the Naughts, who were the defending 5A champions.  The Raiders went on to win the 5A title that year.

And I'm guessing the crew that ref'ed that game hasn't been back to Bryant Stadium since then.  B)

      2025 SSAA Teams & Schedule Questions

      By Hwy17 · Posted

      Can't count on FHSAA to do what's right or makes sense so we have to look elsewhere.  I'm still learning about SSAA and I still have questions concerning their bylaws. It's a growing league and I think it will soon surpass FHSAA in membership.

      Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions

      I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion.

      KICKOFF Classics must see games

      By i4football · Posted

      Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles

      Considering Going to a Game at Key West High?

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
