About the Author
Anyway you could spread this over 15 or 20 years? Just curious to see what it look like! Thanks for doing this – really a cool conversation starter!
I could look into it. Might be a little harder finding results from that time frame but I have some secret archives I could look into.
I like looking at these things also can you add up how all the districts did after state.
Sure can
The only tough thing about this is teams that have crossed over like Clarion and Mediapolis. Otherwise great data.
Great work guys. Please do this again next yr. And then compare changes against this year. And will you do the same for indidual team. If not too complicated math.
