The Greatest High School Football Game of All Time

[CaneSince4Ever]

St Thomas Aquinas Raiders vs Lakeland Dreadnaughts in 2006(2007?). The one with injured Rainey in OT after the STA comeback.

I remember this game, think Hankerson went off in that game too.

Also, the MNW vs Sanford game was pretty good too, but The Sanford 3 proved to be too much. I seem to remember a MNW DB (His name escapes me) had a UM offer before that game, but after Debose mossed em', His offer was pulled.

Someone needs to find the 93 state title game with Southridge and Bradenton. I'm wearing a Troy Davis shirt right now

1998- Basically, no internet, no cell phones, limited TV choices.

Going to a game was near the top of the list on a Friday night.

There was 20K in the OB when we beat Miami Jackson for the GMAC in 1974.

8,114 according to Miami herald

Youngsters don’t remember how there would routinely be 40k+ for high school games at the OB

For regular season games?

That might have been paid. It was definitely much larger in the stands that night. I was on the field but still at Nautilus as a 9th grader. High school was 10th through 12th back then.

Ransom vs. Cardinal Newman, 1996

Throwback Thursday: 120,000 attend Chicago Prep Bowl high school football championship game

Having lived in the Windy City a couple of times, I'm well aware of the storied history of the Chicago Prep Bowl and its massive crowds in the 30's, 40's

Yes. There are at least two 40+ regular-season games in the 50s and 60s

1965 Gables-Miami High in the Orange Bowl drew 47,554. My mom was in the Gables band. She used to have a picture of the game.

I remember watching that game live. I was so happy watching Lakeland give up that lead.

In 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

Was his knee down?
