For anyone who knows me personally, they know that I am just an absolute nut when it comes to sports statistics. Every Super Bowl Champion, Heisman Trophy winners, NFL and college football records, MLB records, I can’t get enough of it.
I have followed Iowa high school football more closely than a lot of major sports leagues in my short time as a sports fan. I was fortunate to grow up in a community where high school football reigned king in Madrid, a small school powerhouse in the state of Iowa.
As I went to games as a kid and began playing into my high school days, I always heard coaches talk about how great a program some of these teams we faced were. I remember always thinking to myself “Well, how long have they’ve been a great program? What’s their Win-Loss record or winning percentage?”
While there’s a good chance I’ll never get that itch fully satisfied, I got to exorcise it with this project.
With the help of Wayback Machine, Quik Stats Iowa, and the IHSAA, I have been able to compile the win-loss record of current (and former) programs in the state of Iowa since 1997.
I started work on this project somewhere around the 4th of July. Had to slow down once school started, but finishing it now gives me great pleasure.
I chose to divvy up the project by conference simply for getting more schools done at one time, rather than current districts. Hope everyone finds this useful and as fun as I have found it.

This is very neat. Question: is there any team (regardless of class) that you found that went 0-9 and the very next year went 9-0?

If this is of any interest to you, I have a website devoted to sports at Anamosa. https://ridgeroader7.wixsite.com/anamosasportsrecords It covers all sports that I can find results for in our local newspapers. I have football results starting in 1895, boy’s basketball starts in 1905 for example. I am constantly updating results, searching for old records (with varying amounts of luck). Feel free to use any or all of it as you see fit.

Sorry, I’m technology incompetent. I put on Quikstats that we (Saydel) won a game in 2018, but we didn’t win. I also can’t figure out how to input stats. I need training.
