What do you think are some of the top HS Football Dynasties in history?
I'm not anywhere near an expert on this subject but I'll name a few in no particular order:

Moeller
St. Ignatius
Massillon
De La Salle
SLC
 
 
for a team not in Division 1, Cardinal Mooney has made quite a name for themselves in producing coaching (bo pelini, Mike, Bob and the rest of the Stoops), as well as players
 
One interesting dynasty in Texas is Plano. They have 7 state titles but the unique thing about them is that they have won titles in every size classification (or at least most of them). They've had some bad seasons along the way, but they have been winning for a long time.
 
Going to have to go with DLS...Countless state championships and a few consecutive national championships...Not to mention numerous players in the NFL and playing high D1 ball.

i was going to say Hoover. But i don't know the supposed money i got for being Chris Rainey and then you know getting my grades changed up in Alabama made me say no. Lakeland and Hoover having most likely the most controversial situations both respected states recent history. Yet basically rule Florida and Alabama ball. Gotta love it.

No doubt Plano vs. SLC 05 was one of the best games i've ever seen. Also don't forget the late nineties Midland Lee.

Only school on that list that has had success of a dynasty is Valdosta. Massilon could be on the dynasy list, but they have never won a state championship that you had to play for on the field.

3 teams from kentucky and 2 from ohio

I would submit that having three teams in that close proximity NEGATES any one of them being a standout dynasty
 
In Illinois you've got Mount Carmel (9 state titles in 15 years from 1988-2002, 315-52 since 1980) and Joliet Catholic (5 state titles in 7 years from 1975-1981, 6 state titles in 9 years from 1999-2007, 348-73 since 1975.)
 
And East St. Louis, especially in the 80s.

There are so many classifications, though, that a lot of the top teams miss each other in the playoffs, and there are a lot of championship game blowouts.

So a lot of teams win a lot of titles.

Not sure why the Geography negates a dynasty. Then wouldn't Moeller and Massilon cancel each other out?

For the record, the Team from Ft. Thomas Highlands with the 5th most wins in the nation all time, also has 17 state championships (including this past season) and 11 undefeated seasons (also including this season). This school is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati and plays teams like Moeller, Elder and Colerain on a regular basis. Colerain is on the 2008 schedule. This past season, Ft. Thomas beat Trotwood Madison of Ohio (and their 6 D1 bound players) in the Kirk Herbstreit, Ohio Vs the Nation, and beat them. They also beat the team with the 3rd most wins all time, Louisville Male, this season 56-6 in a game situation pre season scrimmage. I guess Dynasty is a subjective term though.

dynasty



Main Entry: dy·nas·ty
Pronunciation: \ˈdī-nə-stē also -ˌnas-tē, especially British ˈdi-nə-stē\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural dy·nas·ties
Date: 14th century
1 : a succession of rulers of the same line of descent
2 : a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time — dy·nas·tic \dī-ˈnas-tik\ adjective
— dy·nas·ti·cal·ly \-ti-k(ə-)lē\ adverb
 
so the 3 teams from one state are either not individually "powerful" or the 700+ wins they each have did not come over a long enough period of time? Which one are you asserting?

or maybe they have all had dynasty's. considering Moeller was amazing in the 60's 70's and 80's.


Ignatious was the best team in ohio for a good 10 years in the 90's.

Why? BTW, Ft. Thomas is several hours drive away from Massillon/Canton.

Massillon and McKinley are two of the best known and winningest programs in the nation. Their annual game actually gets a Vegas line. While I certainly wouldn't qualify either of them as an existing dynasty, over the long haul they are hard to argue against. It's not their fault they are neighbors and rivals.

In the last 3 decades or so, roughly the "USA Today" poll era, I think the following Ohio schools qualify as being or have been dynasties from a national viewpoint:

Moeller (multiple national poll titles)
St. Ignatius (multiple national poll titles)

Two others that stand out IMO in that time:

DLS
SLC
Valdosta
Permian
Berwick



Schools like X and Colerain are clearly national powers right now, but with just three state titles between them and just one or two partial national titles, they've got a ways to go to earn dynasty status from a national perspective.
