Winningest Current Programs of the Past 50 Seasons (2009 Update)

[WOS87]

Win totals and rankings were compiled using 11-man varsity records of the 177 3A programs that competed in UIL district play in 2009 and includes all games thru the end of the 2009 Season.

A school must have fielded a varsity football team for at least half of the total time period in question to be eligible for inclusion on each of the winning percentage rankings. (i.e. only schools who competed at least 25 seasons or more are included on the 50 yr rank, 20 seasons or more on the 40 yr rank, etc.).

FYI the only schools that were actually excluded that would have ranked in the top 25 from any of the percentage rankings were Lucas Lovejoy (2 years of varsity football), Argyle (8 years of varsity football) and Wimberley (22 years of varsity football). The vast majority of new schools are 4A or 5A so that rule doesn't really get used much in the lower classifications.

My off-season project is.... To update this thread. I'm pretty sure the usual suspects will remain there but a LOT has happened in the past 6 seasons. Carthage, Stephenville, Henderson, Argyle all either weren't 3A (now 4A) or weren't open long enough to make these lists. Aledo, Allen, La Vega, Navasota, Carthage and Yoe hadn't had their runs yet. WOS has 305 wins in the past 30 years so I expect WOS, Celina, Gilmer, Cuero to remain at the top on most of them. Should be fun (for my OCD number-crunching self).

I don't know how you do it but it is amazing. Thanks

Great facts-Figured East Bernard and Shiner would be listed somewhere in the mix in their classification

They're both up there. Shiner was 1A and East Bernard 2A in 2009, look again. Gonna update 4A and 3A first so those should be up in a few days. I still haven't forgotten about East Bernard either. Trying to hunt down those 6-man scores. Literally no one that I am aware of has tried to make a complete database of 6-man so it's off to the newspaper archives and microfilm for me yet again.

I know the Wharton Newspaper has microfilm reader since I used it a lot when I worked there for 27 years. It was a lot of work and hard are your eyes after stareing at the the screen for hours on end
