GAINESVILLE – Olympia (Orlando), St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale), Gainesville American Heritage (Plantation), Bolles (Jacksonville), Cocoa Beach, Tampa Prep, P.K. Yonge (Gainesville), Sarasota Christian and Union County (Lake Butler) lead their respective categories following winter sports competition in the 2011-12 FHSAA Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup All-Sports Awards Point Standings.
Olympia, with 523 points in Class 8A, moved into first place, edging fall leader Plant (Tampa) by just six points. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) has totaled 769.5 points to open up what was a close race with Martin County (Stuart) in Class 7A, which finished the winter with 590 points. Gainesville had a strong winter season to total 503 points, which is almost a 30-point lead over the fall's top school in Lakewood Ranch (Bradenton), which has 473.5 points. American Heritage (Plantation), with 793 points, holds a 291-point lead over Ponte Vedra. Bolles (Jacksonville), with 903 points, is way out in front of the Class 4A private schools, 353 points better than second-place Lake Highland Prep (Orlando). Cocoa Beach continues to lead the Class 4A public school category with 217 points, but is now only 12 points ahead of Godby (Tallahassee). In Class 3A private schools, Tampa Prep, thanks in large part to the school's first-ever boys basketball state title, overtook Maclay (Tallahassee) -- 507 to 451.5. P.K. Yonge (Gainesville), with 308 points, sets the pace in the Class 3A/2A combined public school category, while second-place FAMU made some big strides in the winter but still trails by 83 points. The closest race is in the Class 2A private school category where Sarasota Christian has 188 points compared to Grandview Prep's (Boca Raton) 185 points. In the new rural Class 1A Union County (Lake Butler) remains on top with 251 points, 46 points better than second place Chipley.
For the 2011-12 school year, the 695 member senior high schools have been divided into eight classifications for administrative purposes based on the enrollments submitted to the FHSAA Office in October 2010, which were used to discern the classifications as they are drawn up now. In accordance with a Board mandate at its November 2002 meeting, Classes 2A, 3A and 4A are further subdivided into public and private categories. An all-sports award will be presented in each of these 10 categories in overall, girls and boys divisions at the conclusion of the 2011-12 school year.
Due to a lack of eligible schools, class 2A public and class 3A public will be combined into one category for the 2011-12 school year
Points are awarded a school based on its finish in FHSAA State Series competition in each sport in the classification in which it has been assigned to compete. The top 16 places are scored. In bracket sports, points are awarded as follows: 100 for the state champion, 90 for the state runner-up, 83 for the state semifinalists, 60 for 5-8th places, and 25 for 9-16th places. In non-bracket sports, points are awarded as follows: 100, 90, 85, 80, 70, 63, 56, 49, 38, 34, 30, 26, 22, 18, 14, 10. Schools get a 5-point bonus for winning a district or regional championship, and points are deducted for unsporting conduct: 0.5 points for Level 1 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 1.0 for Level 2 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 2.0 for Level 3 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 5.0 for Level 4 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 2.0 for Level 1 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; 3.0 for Level 2 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; 4.0 for Level 3 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; and approximately 3-5 additional points deducted for a school or team-based violation (e.g., bench-clearing brawl, coaches takes team off the field, etc.). When two or more schools are tied for a particular place in a sport, the points allotted for those places are shared equally by the schools that are tied. In the event of a tie for the award in either the overall, girls or boys divisions at the end of the school year, the following tiebreakers will be used: (1) number of state team championships won; (2) number of state team runners-up finishes; (3) number of regional team championships won; (4) number of regional team runners-up finishes; (5) number of district team championships won; and (6) number of district team runners-up finishes.
Winners will be honored in their communities during the 2012-13 school year.
Here are the top 10 teams in the overall standings, as well as girls program and boys program standings:
