Pensacola Washington entered that season having gone 1-9 the year before. This was Soldinger 2nd stint at Southridge, having won the state title the year before 69-36 over Manatee, as well as USA Todays #1 ranked national team coming into the game with Washington. Washington controlled the ball on offense for almost 30 minutes of the 48 minute game and won 16-7 for its 1st state title!
Wow! A clean sweep for Dade County. Can’t argue with any of those picks. Did not know that C vs WBR was on Thursday. What do any of you think of this matchup? Don’t be surprised if this nutcase, me, goes to all of them.
Now that I'm all the way down this rabbit hole, let me confirm for those wondering:
1994 Southridge's record entering the state title game: 14-0
Head coach Don Soldinger
RBs: Darren Davis and Sedrick Irvin.
Are we really to believe that the talent in Dade county in 1994 was waayyyy down? Of course not. The talent was just much more diluted or diffuse then, due to attendance boundaries being enforced much more.
