This team played in its first FHSAA football playoff game 50 years ago and lost.  Their streak of playoff losses continued until last week, when they broke the streak and won their first-ever FHSAA football playoff game.   

Who is the team and what team did they beat tend the drought?

So what is Fernandina Beach playoff record? I'm curious how many times they have actually made the playoffs

Prior to this year, FB had made the FHSAA playoffs 3 times, losing each time.1970, 1995, 2007

Good try, but no.  The answer is a hs from the northern part of the state, though.

Bronson did get their first playoff win this year (they had never won before). I am unsure of when the school began playing football though, but they have played basketball consistently since the 1920s. 

Sometimes, I wish the FHSAA did a better job of compiling all the records of the teams (hell they haven't even updated the championship record book in 4-5 years).

Here are some old schools that have never won an FHSAA playoff game:
Colonial
Interlachen
Keystone Heights
Lake Placid

In the 24 seasons I have watched Orlando area football, Colonial has had one good team. They just failed to make the playoffs that year, but in any given year that team which went 7-3 could have won 1, perhaps 2, playoff games. They had a good dual threat QB and a talented WR, in addition to a decent defense. They were just one district win away from the playoffs that year. 

Other than that, they struggle year in and year out. Cypress Creek High is sort of in the same bucket but did at least make the playoffs at least once (they did not win) and have not yet had enough seasons to compete with the schools you have listed.

According to legend, Bronson's first round playoff win against Crescent City was extremely well-officiated.

I just looked at football, they are updated, but definitely weren't up to date during the summer. I should have double checked before I ran my mouth.

Thank goodness because ik I checked as of a few months ago and saw nothing and since it wasn't updated since 2015 I can't blame you for thinking it would never get fixed

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane.

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

      Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
