Some times I think folks get confusued with the best team their school ever had vs the team that went the furtherest of any team a school has had...
an example: I really dont think the Reeds Spring team that played for the State Championship a couple of years ago is the best team in school history?
Do you have similar thoughts from teams at your school?.... Or maybe you disagree.....
Thoughts?......

The teams of the 90s/early 2000s here are often compared to the 53 game win streak crew. I only wish I could have seen the first group, but boy have I got stories. It definitely makes for good coffee shop talk

I somewhat agree that best doesn't always mean farthest. making it the championship game can be deceiving if all the Great teams are on one half of the bracket. you often hear that a Quarterfinal game was the True Championship game.
but on the flip side of that. can a team that was absolutely loaded that had a slip up game really be considered great if they got upset? Several years ago we had a really good team (07 I think) expected to make a deep run. got upset by cabool in OT(who they Turbo clocked in regular season) So in the big picture. I wouldn't consider them better then teams that went deeper

To me the question is are you comparing team to talent? I’ve seen talented teams who for various reasons not be productive and less talented teams be more productive and better teams.

It’s not like RS has been a traditional power on the Gridiron! The 2017 team was loaded.... They lost in the District Championship game to Mt Vernon, who went to play in the Title game that year..... The question wasnt meant to be only about us, it was just an example..... but you may not feel the same way and go merely on the team that advances the furthest is the best.... |

When was WS 53 game win streak ?? 1949-52 State titles didn't start until 68 but there's a good chance Willow could have. They beat Springfield (Central was only school in town then) in the Ozark Bowl by 40 some points if I remember correct. I may have to get on Realray's site and see if it's all still there. The Kansas City Star did an article on that game, said small town football had no reason to play Springfield and this game was a joke. Well........ |

Like some said - strength of schedule has a lot to do with it too. In 2001? Willow went 11-0 and looked to be world beaters. The SCA was down that year we just didn't realize it at the time. And then came Warsaw in the quarters and the season ended fast

In 1949 Grove beat WS 20-18 in 1951 Grove v WS was tie 7-7 .1949 Grove was SCA champ 1953 WP was SCA champ very skeptical that WS had a 53 game winning streak from 1949 to 1952 numbers don’t add up. That sounds like Old man Barber shop BS about a 53 game win streak. WS won the SCA 50,51,&52 I’d say at best with the Ozark bowl WS was 33-0. But even that doesn’t sound right either cause if you won the Ozark bowl 3/4 times in a Row you got to keep the trophy and they cast a new one that is why we The Grove have one of the two Ozark Bowl trophy in our Trophy Case. |

I was thinking it started in late 49 but it could have started in 50. I'm old ya know, I forget stuff  |

How is WS undefeated and had a 53 game winning streak if they didn’t win the Conference in 7 of those years in the SCA from 50-59?
Not possible again I call bunk BS on who ever is spreading that falsehood it looks like WS had a 22 game winning streak with 2 ties. The data you provided proved my position and saved me looking through stuff so thanks.
