How many teams have entered the playoffs with a 7-3 regular season and won the state championship. What is the worse record to win the state state championship? Just wondering....
I'll bet it's Courtland (Hubbard) with the worse record. Courtland has entered the playoffs with a break even record many times because of the higher classes they played in non-region games.
I'm sure there's many 7-3 teams that won state. Clay-Chalkville in 1999 is one that comes to mind, also I believe Jess Lanier in 1990. Jess Lanier played a couple of out of state powers that year, but dominated in-state. Clay-Chalkville played Lee-Montgomery in '99 and Lee entered the playoffs with a losing record only to avenge almost every loss they had as well as make the state title game.
Gadsden finished the regular season 4-5 in 1986 and won 8 straight games to win the class 5A championship. They were 1-5 at one point in the season. Courtland was 4-6 in 1999 and then won their last 6 games to win the 1A championship.
