ANDALE

Can any team in any class match this? Andale has been in the top 5 each of the last 9 years in 4A. I thought Colby probably would have been on this list, but they weren't in the top 5 in 2005 or 2011. Norton doesn't make the list in 3A. Maybe Ark City for 5A? I only had information handy for 321A and 4A.

And to add to the impressiveness.....they were in the top 3 for 7 of the 9 years. 3x - 1st. 1x - 2nd. 3x - 3rd. 1x - 4th. 1x - 5th.

You are correct on Norton, but since 2000 here is Norton's team results:

2013 – 1st
2012 – 16th
2011 – 1st
2010 – 1st
2009 – 3rd
2008 – 4th
2007 – 3rd
2006 – 1st
2005 – 1st
2004 – 1st
2003 – 2nd
2002 - 5th (4A)
2001 - 3rd
2000 - 4th

13 out of 14 years in the Top 5 with 10 of them being in the top 3 and of the 10 top 3 finishes bringing home 6 Championships.

That's good stuff from the Tribune Jack-Wabbit. They must have redshirted everyone in 2012!!

You can actually start Norton's top five string in 1996:
1996 - 3rd
1997 - 2nd
1998- 2nd
1999 - 13th

16 of the past 18 seasons in the top 5

When a community supports the coaches and kids great things can happen. Norton has a lot of quality coaches and a great head coach. Plus plenty of kids to keep the system running.

Big props to Andale for a great run.
But what do you expect? Andale has great kids. In my experiences though, I have found that most great kids have one thing in common and that is great parents. The Andale parents are awesome. And that is not speculation as I have had the privilege of meeting most of them.
Congratulations to everyone associated with the Andale program!

you are correct Andale has amazing kids and great parents and it starts there. Now if they could just get rid of Doug747 it would be an even better place to raise a family.

I sure hope you are teasing!

Goodland had a heckuva run back in the 90s and early 2000s when they battled Abilene. Anybody have those stats?

I am sure he was probably teasing but I sure just cracked up regardless. I about fell out of my chair again and hit my head.
But you know I aint dropping no tears for doug747 anyway. And that dude is way too lucky for anyone to have sympathy for him. He should have sympathy for the rest of us less fortunate individuals.

Yes. He sure is lucky to have a wife like Kim and 7 beautiful children. PS: and a Mother and Dad like me! (not true about the Dad part) HaHa

Only 7 that he claims....

You guys are killing me, please stop before I have a heart attack.

Goodland stretch started in 1997:
1997 1st
1998 2nd
1999 2nd
2000 1st
2001 8th
2002 2nd
2003 3rd
2004 3rd
