Hillsborough has 250 wins from 1920-1957

444 wins from 1958-2020

Thats 694 and they played football since 1907. So they are for sure apart of the 700 club 

So another team in the 700 win club (maxpreps needs to do better research since they only had Manatee with 700 wins before the season #lazy)

Fort Myers is the SWFL team who was top 5 (at least that I had them down but that was without realizing how many hillsborough had)

 

Miami High is probably over 600 but idk for sure

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble here, but St Thomas Aquinas has won about 530 games just in the past 50 years.  THAT's impressive.  If they had been playing football for 100 years at that level, who knows how many wins they would have.

 I would trust sushi from a gas station and tapwater from Mexico before I trusted maxpreps

 Hell depending on how many wins Hillsboro has for most 07-20 they might be the all-time wins later

ColumbiaFan has failed to mention all of the controversial recruiting and subsequent wins by Columbia in the early days.  Columbia was a losing program until one day players from nearby Suwannee started transferring in.  While everyone else was riding donkeys, these transfer players would pull up to school on their fancy thoroughbreds and designer boots courtesy of the booster club.

Miami High has 607 wins from 1922-2020.

They have a few more from 1910-1921 but they didnt play all those seasons. Not close to 700 yet

[nolebull813]

Bolles started in 1933. 

from 1958-2020 they have 564 wins. So they would need 36 wins in 25 years. You can put them in the 600 win club. I just gotta check my stuff when i get home

[Perspective]

I just 'pray' you can come up with a better name for this elite group of schools than The 700 Club. 

[nolebull813]

I checked Gainesville in my email. They have 587 wins total from 1912-2020

STA has been playing for 75 years. according to their website, they have 554 wins from 1946-2016. Add the 45 wins they have from 2017-Now, and they have 599. They will be going for win 600 vs Venice.

my guess is OSL wasn't counting the years STA played under its previous name

Probably not. But STA recognizes it so i do too. Lol. They were called St Anthony from 1946-1951, and Ft Lauderdale Central Catholic from 1952-1960. Called St TRANSFER Aquinas from 1961-Present.

funny you mention Suwannee considering I don't remember Columbia ever getting busted for cheating on our state finals teams lol

also here's a excerpt from the Lake City Reporter a few days ago that might be considered interesting 

"Some players sat out, while coaches from other schools were calling the rest to pry them away to their programs. And when the Tigers finally did start, they did so with just nine practices while trying to rebuild a roster that graduated 20 seniors." 

“It’s been a rough year for everybody, but we didn’t know if we were going to play football or start workouts. Kids were thinking about leaving. Coaches who had their programs running were trying to call my kids saying, ‘We’re practicing and you aren’t.’ And right now, many of those teams are sitting at home and we’re still rolling, so it just makes it feel so much better this year to be in the Elite 8.”

 

 

for some context clues both Columbia county schools started their season later than normal so Fort White wouldn't have been starting early, the closest school who started August 24th was Suwannee who has a history of recruiting

They wo 2 games this year, so at their current rate it will take 6-7 years. Lol

they also missed a month of the season due to Covid so I was estimating 4-5 wins in a normal season

Some of the aforementioned teams may need prayer to win a state title again

okay 

and to answer your question STA may very well have 800+ wins if they had been around 100 years but we don't know for sure, the purpose behind this thread is simply to actually have a list available of teams who passed 600 (and I guess also add teams to the 700 win mark) 

I'm sure over time more teams will join the list and there are plenty of programs who probably would already be on there if they had been around longer

[OldSchoolLion]

...if Gainesville's really bad...

2010-2019

Playoff wins-Gainesville-14, Columbia 10

Region titles-Gainesville-2, Columbia-1

State title game appearances-Gainesville-1, Columbia-0

..and that's fine, ColumbiaFan.  It's an interesting stat, but it really doesn't say that much because the data is not normalized, ie schools have been playing vastly different numbers of years.  If one desires to use such data to judge program effectiveness, I think it would be more relevant to look at FHSAA wins.
