Individual state champions

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering how many schools have never had a state champ.  Does anyone out there have a spreadsheet showing each school and number of state champs?  For example:

Doss 0

Valley 0

Harrison County 2

Woodford County 38 (during Parks' tenure, not sure about total)

Yeah, I've seen that, but was hoping someone had done the hard work of counting the winners by team.  I was just wondering how many teams have never won a state title.  My guess is that there are quite a few; maybe half of the current teams?

Too late, I already did it.  I have 2006 included.  Very interesting; I was close.  About 34 teams still with a goose egg (not sure some of the teams are still competing), though some of the programs are relatively new (Letcher, Bullitt, Whitley, etc).  Woodford has a streak of 12 consecutive years with a winner (totaling 30 champions).  Next best streak is Simon Kenton with 7.  North Hardin had an amazing 13 year streak from 1964 to 1976.

Ranger When did Flaget change to Male? 

was it a change of name or redistricting with a new school?

East and West Hardin became Central in 1990 I think.

I don't know if the Flaget/Male change was officially a change.  That's just what I recall the way Louisville folks historically refer to it.  I don't really know the details.

This is interesting to review:

I am impressed with South Oldham's # of champions. They are definitely a top team in the past 10 yrs. They really help region 5 to be one of the top regions with champs in the past 5 - 10 yrs. I hadnt really thought of it but they had 3 State Champs last year, Murner, Scott and Scherer, thats really impressive to have 3 champs from one team. They have lost all three to graduation and it will be interesting to see how quickly they rebuild. They have some good kids returning, a deep squad with kids ready to step up and they have a solid middle school team to replenish the ranks through the years. Coach Fiser has built a nice program there. Does anyone know how long South Oldham has had a wrestling program?

The other team to rise to the top in the past 10 years is Larue, they are loaded this year with lots of seniors. They could add to their list of State Champs this year and then it will be their turn to rebuild.

Should be fun to see these relatively new powers utilize their depth to stay on top. Both schools are good examples of how programs develop and maintain consistency through good feeder programs and strong motivated coaching.

How does a guy with a login name bulldog-leader know so much about LaRue.

You would draw a conclusion this person was from John Hardin BullDawgs :evil:

Male is one of the oldest schools in louisville. Flaget did not change into male. Flaget closed and most of the kids went to St. X

I think Flaget became Holy Cross, can anyone confirm that?

Dupont Manual and Male used to be the same school. They divided up the original Dupont Manual and created Male. Ever wonder why Male uses the letter "H" instead "M"? Any alumni out there that can answer with the reason why?

Ever wonder why Male uses the letter "H" instead "M"?

I asked a Male student and they said that it was because Manual was already using the "M", the "H" stands for High School. :|  as if they were the only one. :lol:

OK so was it the downtown building that housed Flaget and then later Male before it moved out to Preston?

I think it was the old Bishop David that became Holy Cross.

I talked to a friend of mine who lived in Lou.  According to him Flaget closed.  Male built a new school to where old Flaget use to be years later.

I guess that's what I was thinking when I thought the two were "the same".

Holy Cross was actually the consolidation of Bishop David and some catholic girls school (which I can't remember right now).

Ranger,

I don't know what Louisville folks you have been talking to but Flaget High School was a private Catholic High school that served the West end of Louisville untill it closed in 1974. Louisville Male High School is a public school that has served the Jefferson county Public school system for more than 100 years. The two have not ever for any reason historic or not been related.
