everyone knows delasalle won more consecutive games than any other school in the country. they just didnt play as hard a schedule as moeller did
when did moeller play the #1 ranked team in the country?

was cleveland st. ignatius #1 in 1993, they lost to colerain in 04 when they should have been #1, lost to st.x last year and some polls had x at #1. Plus playing the number 1 team in the country doesnt mean you have a harder schedule than everyone else. look at cincy st.x this past year, they beat colerain and trinity who finished 14 and 23 nationally, they demolished dematha when they were 3, and the hardest game was against st.ignatius- unranked
huh?
Dallas-Jesuit, Pittsburgh-Penn Hills, Detroit- Brother Rice, any of those names ring a bell ? I know DJ was in TAPPS at the time but was still TAPP's CHAMPS!And DJ was considered a renegade program in the DFW area.
This is awesome.
Moeller beat Penn Hills 30-13 in 1979, and Penn Hills was still ranked as the third-best team in the WPIAL (a huge Pittsburgh league that is more like a California section than a regular league, as I understand it) for the period 1974-1998.

The teams ahead of them on the list ranked 1st and 5th in USA Today, and the team tied with them ranked 5th.
That was before the USA Today rankings, but if it means they beat a team by 17 that would still have ended up about 5th in the USA Today rankings, despite the loss, that's pretty good.

http://community-2.webtv.net/SEKSPORTS/HIGHSCHOOLCOMM/page9.htmlDallas Jesuit was considered the homecoming opponent in the DFW area.
Moeller may be the greatest ever, but using the fact they beat Dallas Jesuit is not as big of a feather as you may think.
im pretty sure we can all agree that delasalle is a dynasty, they won 1oo+ games in a row
DLS's playoffs between 99-2004, were merely scrimmages
ask michigan about dennis dixon
who is dennis dixon? he only played on a team that went undefeated three straight years,... except for getting smashed by dls in the section final
scrimmage?
get real
The real problem I see is that no one wants to admit that there just might be a chance that there have been several dynasties throughout the years and the only way to decide who is the best is to have them play each other. (that will never happen) so continue to argue online, it really makes my day reading all this stuff
That is not in dispute. What is argueable is that there were "other" dynasties pre-dating DLS's rise to national prominence. Some people here seem to believe DLS invented the football.
Look at the positive.At least we don't have to talk about soccer

Check the link, between 74 and 82 DJ bagged about 4 titles. Some homecoming opp.I know TAPPS isn't the UIL, but remember this, they called Moeller! And were hammered 37-7. 31-0 at halftime. Faust played the waterboys.

I got the privelege of watching the Moeller teams. They were fantastic. I did not get to see the DLS teams but the record explains it all. I have no problem going on record saying that Moe was a dynasty and would have handed the Southlake Carroll teams of the last few years their azzes in a handbasket. These guys were unbelievably good.
