Since 2011 alone, you've jumped from 4th to 2nd, passing up another Ky school in Male. Its kind of bitter sweet that such a basketball state has two of the top 5 all time winning programs in the country, soon to be 3 once Mayfield passes up the team in front of them whos ahead by only one game.
But, back to the topic on hand, Valdosta High School still currently has the most wins in the country at 882. But, Valdosta isn't the program they use to be. They barely made 500 this year, and things aren't looking better in the future.
Highlands sits in second place with 855 wins. That's only 27 wins behind Valdosta. If the teams sported the same record (which is likely for Highlands, not sure about Valdosta) as they did this year, then it would only take around 5 years for Highlands to move to the top. Im sure Highlands fans are very aware of this, but its still something that needs to be noted.
Id also like to add that on that list behind Highlands sits Male at number 3 with 833 wins (just ahead of Massillon with 830) and Mayfield is sitting at number 6 in the country with 819 wins, which is just one behind Mount Carmel PA with 820. Im not sure where there at, but Paducah Tilghman is also in the top 20 I believe.
Could we see KY dominate the all time record books within a decade? Is this a product of great football, or subpar competition over the years?When I look at this, I think of Valdosta, which would be the largest school in KY with over 2400 kids, and how smaller schools in KY like Highlands success translate into one another.
Thoughts?
There is for sure some poor football in some parts of KY, but Highlands always plays a tough schedule and usually has several strong teams from outside KY on their schedule. I would assume that Valdosta also plays a strong schedule.
