PINE Boys' Athletic Program Named Best in FL

The Pine School’s Athletic Program, Boy’s Division (Class 1A), has been awarded with First Place in the Sunshine Cup.

The FHSAA Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup is an all-sports award that ranks high school athletic programs in Florida based on performance in District-Region-State competitions. Schools earn points for state series finishes, with a state championship worth 20 points and a state runner-up earning 12. Bonuses are given for winning district and regional titles, and points are deducted for unsporting conduct, ensuring a focus on both athletic success and sportsmanship.

“Winning the Program of the Year is a testament to the incredible dedication and hard work of our student-athletes and coaches,” shared Athletic Director Jeff Shirk. “This award is about more than just a single team; it reflects the commitment of our entire athletic department and the unwavering support of the entire Pine School community. We are so proud of our Knights for this outstanding achievement.”
