Which High School Football Programs Have the Most All-Time Wins?
Heading into the 2021 season, Valdosta High School in Georgia is hanging on to the top spot in all-time high school football wins. But the top leaderboard is tightening up.
Louisville's Male High School is now within 15 wins of Valdosta, after the Georgia school was forced to forfeit seven 2020 wins for using ineligible players.
Male High School won eight games in the fall and finished runner-up in Kentucky 6A classification — bringing their all-time total to 914, second only to Valdosta's 929 wins.
Massillon Washington, runner-up in Ohio Division II, won its 900th game in 2020. The Tigers, who finished No. 48 in the 2020-21 High School Football America 100 national rankings, have now won 909 games since playing their first game in 1894.
Two other Kentucky teams round-out the top five. Mayfield sits at No. 4 with 908 victories and Ft. Thomas Highlands is fifth overall with 906 wins.
Pennsylvania has the most teams in this top-50 list, with 11, followed by Kentucky with 10.
