Man I Love Football...

I was in this discussion on Warchant.com about who had won the Florida Mr. Football Award since the start back in 1992. I've been a long time supporter of the thoery that no state has as much football talent as the Sunshine State does at the High School level. Sure other states can make thier own argument (Texas, Cali, maybe Ohio...Sorry Joey!) but pound for pound Florida is the leading producer of Division One football talent.

Anyhow, we had never seen a complete list of the winners but someone managed to piece it together. So here it is:

2004, Antone Smith, Pahokee (FSU)
2003, Xavier Lee, Daytona Beach Seabreeze (FSU)
2002, Andre Reese, Pierson-Taylor (Currently at Northwest Miss. Comm. College)
2001, Leon Washington, Jacksonville Jackson (FSU)
2000, Adrian McPherson, Bradenton Southeast (FSU)
1999, Willie Green, Kissimmee Osceola (UF)
1998, Anquan Boldin, Pahokee (FSU)
1997, Zain Gilmore, Tampa Robinson (Missouri)
1996, Travis Henry, Frostproof (Tenn.)
1995, Frankie Franklin, Jacksonville Sandalwood (Indiana?)
1994, Daunte Culpepper, Ocala Vanguard (Central Florida)
1993, Shevin Wiggins, Bradenton Manatee
1992, Jammi German, Fort Myers

The players in bold Garnet all went to or are going to FSU. Of the players in the Niffle, Culpepper/Henry/Boldin are all All-Pros and up near the top at their positions.

I'm just posting this cause I'm a football geek and my homie Larry is a big Texas fan. So take that man!

Catch yawl tomorrow
