Football season is just under two months away from Kickoff Classics as Bay County continues its chase for a state title, still seeking its first since the 1976 Bay High state championship team.
All six programs have been grinding throughout the offseason in preparation for the upcoming year. Over the past 50 years, Rutherford, Bozeman, and Mosley have each come within striking distance of a state title, adding to the area’s competitive football history but leaving the ultimate prize just out of reach.
With another season approaching, the question once again looms large across the county: which team has the best chance at a state title this year?
We put that question to the people with a poll powered by Florida Power & Light. The poll will run until noon Friday, July 3.
