Apopka's Current HS Coach (Darlington) might very well be the best HS Coach in Fl....He would SLAY it in Dade and/or Broward....Dude wipes his *** with S Fl Coaches....Only school in Fl...that either Beats Dade/Broward teams regularly...or at the very least...gives them fits...
Defensively for me...Top 3
* Willie Williams (100% certain)
* Wilbur Marshall
* Derrick Thomas
Offensively....
* Freddie Miles (WITHOUT question...The Best HS FB Player I've EVER seen...that's 40yrs of watching Fl HS FB...)
* Jammi German
* Noel Devine....

What was the primary reason, or reasons, why Willie was such an abject failure at the U?Gierke's with time can fix any HS football program. Walks into bad programs and always leave it in better shape. If he said that about Willie then it's got to be true.
Darlington does it without playing the transfer game either which makes it even more impressive. When he has a talented group of APK kids. He is either winning state championship or close to it. The only person that was a better coach in FL TO ME was Ice Harris.
Some of those classic HS games in the OB outdrew UM, then and now.Nick Kotys. Nothing like going to a Gables versus Miami High game in the late 60s. That guy won in PA, too. **** of a coach and always a very disciplined team.
