Best winning percentages in Illinois prep football history
If you haven't been on Edgy Tim's free board, you know that I enjoy doing several projects with historian Tom Sikorski. Since I start delving into Illinois' prep football history almost 10 years ago, the project for the most wins has extended into best winning percentage, and the best record by decades. Here's the best winning percentages, based on a minimum of 250 games played (sorry, Lincoln-Way East fans, but you'll get here soon enough) and winning 60% of better of your contests. If you share this, please credit Tom and Kev Varney as the authors.

Did Chebanse, Clifton or Ashkum have football before 1950?

Don't do it Mr. Vee.
Those Clifton guys all have their own spreadsheets...each one is different. You will soon have 25 different spreadsheets with 25 different winning percentages.
Each one of those guys think if they were not at the game, it didn't happen. If they go to the bathroom and the opponent scores, that doesn't count.

Anyone that thinks 25 Clifton guys could put together a spreadsheet have obviously never been there...

4 0.71466 Metamora 1946-2020 529-207-14 4
5 0.71678 Rochester 1996-2020 205-81-0 NEW
I must be missing something - why is Metamora listed at a higher position than Rochester?

Then it follows that you were not in attendance at a few Clifton wins.

Thanks for letting me know…it’s been corrected.
One other I forgot to mention: ties are considered as half-win, half-loss. The last known tie in Illinois varsity football was between two Chicago Public League schools in 1990 that wouldn’t have even qualified for the CPL playoffs.
