Good question.  Based upon records/rankings and the score differential in the Escambia game, the Escambia and Suwannee losses last night were arguably upsets.  

Lakeland beat Niceville in 2005 State Semis. Lake Gibson beat Navarre as well in 2016 I believe. Those are the only two off the top of my head I can think of.

In hindsight that Lake Gibson team probably should have been considered the favorite considering they ended Armwood run in the 6a North and then when they got to states they gave a very good Carol City team all they could handle

You are right about Lakeland.  And Lake Gibson actually did it twice.

2004 Lake Gibson at Pensacola 30-29

2016 Lake Gibson at Navarre 35-14

Are you in mourning?

Nah I just figured it would be a good addition as it would mean in 2020 so far the road team was 1-3 in these matchups

 

Even if Lee had gotten by Pace they would have lost at St Augustine this week so regardless of how we do against Mainland we weren't gonna get a rematch

    • Buy Azithromycin Online is a handy antibiotic you can buy online to treat specific bacterial infections. It’s great for things like respiratory infections (think coughs and sore throats), skin infections, ear infections, and even some sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia. One cool thing about it is that you usually only need to take it for a short time, usually around five days. Just remember, it’s super important to take the full course even if you start feeling better before it’s done. This helps make sure the infection is completely gone and doesn’t come back stronger. Like with any medication, there can be side effects, like upset stomach or diarrhea, so it’s always good to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you have any health conditions or are taking other meds. Overall, Azithromycin can be an effective and convenient option for treating bacterial infections when used correctly.
    • Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.  
    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.
