I will have to do some digging to get you the specific margins, but it should also be noted, Public Schools have won nearly 70% of all the state championship games since 1963.
I don't know a lot about high school football teams in South or West Florida. MarkECannon, I will try once again: How many months to the NHL All-Star Game please? Thank you.
The year prior (2006) we clung to a 3-0 lead at home during the regular season before Chris Rainey ripped off a 70 or so yard run late in the 4th quarter to seal the deal 7-3 in Lakeland's favor. That is when Lake Gibson was rolling and they also beat us at their place to keep us out of the playoffs which we would have qualified for under current format of seeding. That district had some of the best running backs in the state with Rainey, Bilal Powell and "Bubba" Brown in no particular order. Also the year (2006) Lakeland not only was state champ, but National Champ.
