The 7 Most Consistent HS Programs of the Modern Day

[OldSchoolLion]

Since 2004, I believe there are only 7 programs that have won at least 80% of the games they played during that period AND had a winning season every year(winning more games than they lost).  I may have missed one or two.  Let's see.

Who are the 7 programs?   By the way, I am counting forfeits, which might knock a couple high profile programs off the list.

[DarterBlue2]

1. Armwood

2. St. Thomas Aquinas

3.  Mainland

4. Apopka (not sure if they meet the 80%)

5. Miami Northwestern

6. Trinity Christian Jax

7. Lakeland

If I am wrong on Apopka's winning percentage, then perhaps, Osceola - Kissimmee

I just added to the original post that I am considering forfeits, so that might knock someone off your list.

Didn't Miami Northwestern have a 4-6 season in the early 2010s (I could be wrong but I thought they did

 

STA, TCA, Lakeland are definitely there and I think Mainland is and you know Apopka so that's something I would trust you on

University Christian?

Maybe Naples?

I know Armwood forfeited a state title against Miami Central in 2009 or so. That may knock them off the list if they forfeited multiple games that year due to ineligible players. Ironically, at least one of the players involved was a Dr. Phillips transfer who probably still resided in Orange County.

It was 2011 but Armwood and Miami Central both forfeited the entire season of wins

If forfeits are included, Lakeland drops off the list.

Which year did Lakeland have multiple forfeits?

If you begin in 2005 DP is in. Carry on

They forfeited a season and he said forfeits count

[Pipe Dreams]

No, no one acknowledges the forfeited season. it was for a player whose parents forged their US citiezenship. He wasn't even out of zone. Inside source told me DP and Winter Park were the only schools in Orange that submitted that paperwork in 2010. 

By the way 3-5% of people in the US are not documented. If this rule was EQUALLY APPLIED almost every school would fail the FHSAA barometer annually, probably in other sports more-so than football. 

It's not ethical and I'm by no means an open borders kind of guy. 

Therefore DP went 14-1 in 2010. 

I will never acknowledge the 2010 FHSAA stat and others know it's a joke as well. 

DP self-reported it because they had the best athletic director in the southeast US. He caught the issue on a technicality. remember that. 

[Pipe Dreams]

A simple lawsuit could restore DP's 14-1 record. Will do it one day for the LULZ

[OldSchoolLion]

For those who guessed Mainland...the Bucs had an off year in 2010 and they fall short of 80% as well.

So that means that neither are on the list.

2013-2015 were tough years for the Bulls.  As good as the West is, they have not been the most consistent of programs over the years.  So, they are not on the list.

Apopka falls short of 80%...not by much.

I figured. Probably just over 78%. The 11-4 season probably did not help.

...some comments

IMG-I typically don't include IMG in these discussions

Oxbridge-I only considered active programs

Armwood and Central had forfeited seasons

Dwyer, Madison County, BTW, St Augustine and Plant have not had winning seasons every season during the specified time frame

[OldSchoolLion]

Here they are.  Did any of the teams below surprise you?

Lakeland     197-23 (90%)

St Thomas     214-25 (90%)

Bolles     192-32 (86%)

Naples     171-32 (84%)

Cocoa     178-39 (82%)

American Heritage Plantation     166-40 (81%)

Columbus     164-41 (80%)

 

...and some teams with consistent winning seasons who fell short of 80% winning percentage.

Apopka      172-48 (78%)

Bishop Moore     153-47 (77%)

Niceville     152-46 (77%)

Wakulla     150-47 (76%)

Am I mistaken on Lakeland's forfeit situation? I suppose I never really followed up on the final outcome of the 2010-2011 situation.
