Here is sort of a spinoff I guess. With success of Ft Loramie and Anna making it look 'Easy'
How many 'new' programs who are 25 years old or younger have won a State Title?
I guess you can include those who formed new schools in the cities but I am more interested in places that had no football and started from the beginning
I can think of Anna an Ft Recovery is right on that cusp of 25 years. I want to say their first varsity season was 97 or so, but had a JV season or two before that so they would be right around that 25 mark.
I can think of a few locally.
Youngstown Cardinal Mooney opened in 1956, had its first varsity football team in 57 and its first senior football players in 1958. The Cardinals won the 1973 AAA title over the other local team that I know did it, Warren Western Reserve. The Raiders started playing football in 1966 and won the 1972 AAA state title.
I may be wrong about this but I want to say that Garfield Hts. Trinity started playing football in 1975 because I saw them play Youngstown Rayen that year, Rayen's star RB Dennis Mosely ran wild, and I seem to remember something about that being their first year of varsity football. Anyway, Trinity won the 1980 D4 title.
Didn't Dublin Scioto win the D2 title in their first year of existence? Of course they were a "new" school that came out of the existing Dublin school system.
