Breaking down the numbers: 5 year window for area teams

Plant Panthers

5 just seems like a good number to start at, so we will. As a true team effort, we dug up some numbers to see who has been the most successful teams in the last 5 years in our coverage area (Hillsboroug, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk County).  Standing alone at the top are the Panthers of Plant.  Within that span, the Panthers earned 5 district titles, 4 straight regional titles, 4 straight title game appearances, winning 3.

Pasco fires in at #2. 57 total wins.  The Pirates have played at least 11 games a season since Tom McHugh was hired in 2007.  That season, Pasco went 6-5 and have not lost more than 2 games a season since. Stick on 5 straight district titles and 2 regional titles in 2008 and 2011.

At #3, Fort Meade. Miners have been as good as any. Playing 11 or more games each season since 1997. In the last 5 years, the Miners have claimed 5 straight district titles, 3 regional titles (2008, 2009, 2010) and state title game appearance in 2008.

Teams 2012 Rec 2011 Rec 2010 Rec 2009 Rec 2008 Rec Totals
Plant 10-2 15-0 (14-1) 12-3 13-1 14-1 64-7 (63-8)

Fort Meade 8-3 9-3 11-2 12-1 12-2 52-11

I know you are asking, “What about Lakeland and Armwood?” That would be a great question. Both teams hit hard by forfeits in the 5 year span:

Armwood
2010 4-11 (14-1) HC Sean Callahan (forfeited 10 wins)
2011 0-14 (15-0) HC Sean Callahan (forfeited 14 wins)(1 game no contest, double forfeit)

Lakeland
2010 0-14 (13-1) HC Bill Castle (13 wins forfeited)

Without the forfeits Armwood has played 70 games winning 62 of them. Lakeland recorded 62 wins also but playing 68 games. Lakeland has a .91 win percentage, slightly edging out Plant (.89) and Armwood (.89). Add in the forfeits and the list shifts in the order below.
