Interesting fact about MSHSAA football playoffs.

[blue and white pride]

408 high school's have participated in the MSHSAA playoff system from 1968 thru 2016 trying to win a state football championship. Only 116 of those high school's have won titles in that time.

This includes 11-man and 8-man football.

 

[red & black brotherhood]

Thats actually a higher number than i would have thought

 

[Cards1968]

In the CCC, only South Shelby and Monroe City have won multiple titles, and Centralia and Louisiana have one each. Clark County has one as well, but previous to them joining. That's better than the average, but still it's HARD to win a title.

Good work today @blue and white pride .

 

[Mitsurugi san]

The Small COC only has one state title winner to my knowledge (Hint: It's not Bolivar )

...I could be wrong (thinking Catholic might have at least one...)

 

[blue and white pride]

Springfield Catholic 1997 Class 2A Champions

 

[blue and white pride]

MRVC West has 9 State titles.
Harrisonville 2003, 2005, 2005, 2007, 2016
Excelsior Springs 1994, 1996
Odessa 1994
Oak Grove 2014

If you looked at the losers at state how many more could say they atleast played for a title?

Catholic's title was before joining the COC. Rogersville won it in 2011 or 2012 when Dylan Cole was a senior.

The Old Midwest Conference, which has teams in two or three different conferences now, had several titles in the 1970s through the early 1990s. Lockwood, Greenfield, Greenwood, Miller, and Jasper all won Class 1A titles. Stockton, who was in 2A, made it to the semifinals 3 or 4 times during that stretch as well. It was a solid small school conference. Usually had to run through the WEMO in 1A and Lexington or old Big 8 teams in 2A.

How did Harrisonville win 2 state titles in 2005? That must be a first!

[MIZ...ZOU]

Look up another statistic. How many teams have won a state championship from the bottom 35-50% of their class in terms of enrollment? Harrisonville this year is one I can think of but typically the teams that win a championship is from the upper half to 25% of class enrollment.

Maryville's 3 titles in Class 3 they toward the bottom of enrollment. 4th title was when they dropped to class 2 for four years 06-09 i believe.

...and Marionville.

Marionville was in the Mid-Lakes when they won their state championship. But they were always tough in football and basketball

 

[bullitpdq68]

The Big 8 has had 6 members out of it's 8 members win a title for a combined 16 total titles out of 22 tries.
Monett 71, 77, 16
Aurora 69, 99
Mt Vernon 78 Runner up 82
Lamar 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Seneca 87, 95 Runner up 68 75 83 86 13
Cassville 08, 09

 

[Graphic Edge Guy]

How many teams have TIED for a state title?
I know Valle and KC St Pius tied 0-0 for the 2A title in 1981.

Pretty sure Marshall and Camdenton tied for another...and perhaps John Burroughs and Lexington for a third?

Anybody know for sure?

 

[Mister_Wizard]

As long as we are challenging the database with some deeper combinations, how many teams have defeated an undefeated opponent in the final game of the post season, while winning a sixth title in a row, and after losing their starting center AND backup center less than two weeks before the championship, and their regular season included victories over a same season State champion and a multi-year state champion from the past?

Don't forget they stopped the longest winning streak in the nation at the time(11 man football). And also, they beat 6 former state champions during the year scoring 49 or more points against each of them.

See, now you've for sure went and narrowed it down to one team only. Way to go...

Well, it couldn't be who you thought it was because, they defeated 7 former state champions this year.

Orrick won back to back titles as one of the smallest class 1 schools.

 

[MIZ...ZOU]

Orrick won back to back titles as one of the smallest class 1 schools.

I don't think that Orrick had under 155 kids....which is what it would have taken to fall in that category but I could be wrong.

 

[panther72]

Orrick official enrollment in 2007 was 140, tied for being the 8th smallest in Class 1. In 2008 their official enrollment was 134 and tied for 7th smallest.

Since you started it with the Bolivar reference....

I wonder what LogRog would have done that year against Webb? Seeing as how LR was one of the biggest in Class 3 and Bolivar (not much bigger) is one of the smaller Class 4 teams.

 

[my3hornetsons]

How many teams won a state title in one class then went up a class the following year and won that state title?

 

[Rufus R. Jones]

How many teams won a state title in one class then went up a class the following year and won that state title?

I don't think any have ever done that.

 

[Blue8505]

That's a very interesting question. I think Lamar could have certainly done it in recent history. Maryville is the only school I can think of that might have.

 

[MIZSEC21]

I don't think any have ever done that.

Penney Hornets. In 2009 they beat Valle in Class 1 and then in 2010 as a class 2 team beat Maple Wood Richmond Heights. Only time it has been done in consecutive years.

 

[red & black brotherhood]

Not many schools have won back to back let alone in 2 classes

 

[my3hornetsons]

I knew Penney had...lol...but I wasn't for sure if any other school had done it since Penney. I knew when Penney did it, it was broadcasted as being the only school in Missouri to have ever done that. So, I was asking if it had been done since then...

I know for a fact that Camdenton/Marshall tied 20-20 in the 1986 game at Arrowhead.

Hopefully the players had fun and got some good exercise. That's all that really matters. And helped each other up and stuff. And fans from both sides said nice things to each other in line at the concession stand.

I believe hamilton-penney did it. won it in class 1 and then the next year in class 2

Penney 2009 in Class 1 ando 2010 in Class 2.
