I would really like everyone’s opinion on this. As We All Know Covid Struck the entire nation & it effected everything including football. 
 

with that said everybody wasn’t able to opt in compete for a FHSAA title, & some were Givin the option to opt in or opt out “MIAMI DADE”, but for the counties that wasn’t given that option “BROWARD, WEST PALM” we were forced to settle for a Shortened regular season & A (TRI COUNTY) playoffs & Championship. 
 

even in that tho u had a a lot of solid matchups and a lot of hard work & dedication put in. So for the teams that went all the way and won that championship and held that trophy at the end in my opinion that should not only be RESPECTED but also counted as a “REAL CHAMPIONSHIP” & not because Dillard won but that’s how I feel in general, what are y’all thoughts ?? @DarterBlue2 @Proseteye

My thoughts are: 1. A winner of a regional title, should be given respect for winning it. 2. In some classes, the winner of this title likely would have represented the south in the state finals (8A being the best example). In that case, winning the title should at least bestow the same respect that a state finalist should get. In other classes, the winner would, at best, likely have played for the regional title if they had been in the state series. 6A is an example of this. Who would Dillard have played if it were in the state series? Likely Miami Central. What would the outcome of such a match have been? I honestly don't know, but Central would have been the favorite. If Dillard had somehow beaten Central would have its state title chances been? Very decent at the least. They would have likely been at least cofavorite against Palmetto, and if they won that game, they would have likely beaten the north finalist, Lake Minneola.

So, to conclude, the extent of my respect for the regional winners is a function of their classes, with some classes having more significance to me than others.

I respect your analysis my personal opinion Amy team Dillard would have played this year would have got the rage of us loosing our head coach the way we did. 
 

as u said MC would have been favorites as they should be, would the game have went their way ? We would never know. But as I said up top I do believe a “TITLE” is a title if you had to go through a playoff format & play in a championship then I believe a win should b added & counted among the previous trophies you won in the regular FHSAA

No its not the same. Its not going to be added in the record books. Even if GC would of won I'll still say GC has 6 State Championships. Its just a messed up season I'll appreciate the FHSAA trying to make something out of nothing. Just getting ready for the next season when the Virus goes away  and we can compete for a State Championship.

True, so the champion of the tri state that won’t be added to the record books as a title ? 
 

if that’s the case then for the ones that couldn’t opt in they would have been better off just making us suffer without a season At all. 
 

to have a shortened season tri county or not, playoffs and a championship game then say it doesn’t count that’s crazy.

I fell you, Dillard. Columbus was in a position to defend their title this year, but it wasn't meant to be. The Tri-Country title is nice, but it is no state title. I know the boys are proud that they got to do the best with what they had. Coaches are happy too.

Overall, I'm still glad it was played to give the young men a few games and some film for recruiters. Fans like me were happy that we got something. Let's just hope that we are the first and the LAST Tri-county winners ever.

I know that’s right. It just felt so good to see us hold up a trophy for the first time since I’ve been born in football. And to see so much love & happiness & excitement over this championship within the community hearing so many “WE FINALLY DID IT” only for it not to count or really mean anything. 
 

but aye a title is a title, we won it. We just to go to hope next year we can vye for the “REAL THING”

    • Here is a tough one. 1980 Gainesville or Tate. Both 13-1 Here is the tape of the tape. Please let me know what you think.    Tale of the tape.    Tate - class 4A only loss was against 8-2 Choctaw by 4 points  beat 12-1 Miami Columbus in the title game 35-7 but the game was in Pensacola. Meaning Columbus had to drive almost 10 hours  Gainesville - class 3A only loss was against 10-1 Palatka by 8 points  beat Titusville 21-0 in the title game on the road in Titusville
    • For 1997 I picked Carol City over Raines. It was tough but CC finished top 5 in the nation according to USAToday. And they played a tougher schedule. It’s tough when you have the top 2 teams both undefeated. 
    • Yeah in the 70’s-90’s the debate will most likely be between the top 2 largest class state champs 
    • 1976 - Godby HS went 14-0, defeated ledgendary Gene Cox, Leon Lions for the 1st time in school history in its last game of the regular season. Beat a Carol City Team, (that would come back the next year to win the 1977 state title), 21-15 in Lakeland, FL for the 1976 4A title. Two members of that Godby team (Sammy Knight, Chris Hobbs) would then lead FAMU to a upset win over the University of Miami. 1978 - Meritt Island - Beat Carl Madison coached (going to see the name Carl Madison alot through out the 80's),Pine Forrest for the 4A state Title 20-16 and would go on to be repeat state champs winning the 1979 state 4A state title as well, seeing Pine Forrest once again in the Finals 1979 - Merritt Island - Beat Pine Forrest 19-14 1980 - Argument could be made that 3A state Champ Gainesville HS was the states best, as they defeated Titusville on Titusville's home field 21-15, but in the end Carl Madison's (who we'll talk about again in the 80's), Tate HS has to be considered the state best destorying Miami Columbus HS 35-7! 1981 - Again 3A would again have to be where the state's best team played. Palatka after struggling in its 1st round game went on to dominate evenutally winning the state title 42-2 over Suncoast. Unlike Vero Beach (which won the 4A state itle that year), Palatka was loaded with star power, with 2 of its players eventually playing in the NFL (John L Williams, and Jarvis Williams) 1982 - Going 3A once again as Titusville would shutout 3 of its 4 playoff opponents, winning the state title over Osceola 33-0 1983 - 4A Manatee High School goes 14-0 for its 1st state title and the beginning of a dynasty through out the 80's and into the early 90's   more later.......
