Any more information about the Carthage games? I don't recall us ever beating Webb City by that much. Is the Galena game against Galena, KS or Galena, MO?
I have records from 1920 to present plus sketchy records from 1909 - 1919 and have no record of anything close to 117-0. Most lopsided win I have for Carthage over WC is 64-14 in 1969
I'd like to see a list of all of the undefeated teams that were shut out of the playoffs in the "points" era.
Just click on Realray's link and go to the rankings...1954-1979...you'll see like 16 teams that were undefeated yet not in the playoffs...Hazlewood Central, Harrisobville, Branson...etc...
Chillicothe used to always play rival Trenton on Nov 11th (unless that was a Sunday) for a big veterans day rivalry game. Supposedly, in the early years of the state play off point system, points for wins were only given for games played before a certain date, which was before Nov 11th, so the Hornets win over Trenton did not count towards points, and allegedly that kept Chillicothe out of the play offs. It was also the last year that the game was played on Nov 11th lol.
The early point system, combined with 4 teams from each class in the playoffs caused some problems.

Galena, KS
I'll have to dig out my news clippings from 1900 to 1929 to find the year. I remember the Carthage over Webb City score being in a composite of scores reported. Sports coverage was a bit sparse back then. Of course, reporters made errors back then, too. When I find the article, I will update the posting with the date.
Chillicothe was more than paid back for the injustice by hosting a couple of "state title" games at their place.
1972 and 1978. Not sure how that was decided, or why it wasn't played in a neutral site. The 1978 game was in a steady rain. Any one know if that was common for a team to host their own state title game back in the early days and how the site was selected?
State Championship games played at a participant's home field.
1970 Chillicothe 32 Dexter 6 @ Chillicothe HS
1971 Richmond 29 Fulton 25 @ Fulton HS
1972 University High (Warrensburg) 17 Fairfax 0 @ CMSU (UCM)
1972 Chillicothe 14 Chaminade 9 @ Chillicothe HS
1974 Country Day (St. Louis) 34 Pleasant Hill 7 @ Country Day School
1975 John Burroughs 28 Seneca 26 @ John Burroughs School
1976 Cass-Midway 13 Princeton 0 @ Cass-Midway HS
1977 Greenfield 20 King City 6 @ King City HS
1977 Monett 21 Louisiana 19 @ Monett HS

1978 Mount Vernon 37 Country-Day (St. Louis) 21 @ Country-Day School
1978 Chillicothe 42 Washington 0 @ Chillicothe HS
Monett's 77 championship was won in Monett. I believe home field was rotated by district. Not certain?
Thanks for the info. Knew of a few of those, didn't realize there were that many.
FYI the football field at Cass-Midway HS is called State Championship Field. I guess when you host and win 2 state titles on it you can name it that.
