unless my math is off it looks like The Bakersfield Drillers had a .710 win percentage going to the VC 7 times and winning 5 of them...1 in 07 when The Mighty Pete Mitchelle defeated the CW War Eagle machine with a last second FG...

Is this good? Someone please verify.

Also, let's not forget that two D-I Valley schools brought home State titles this decade. (Not so sure of the smaller schools... Didn't Strathmore win one in 2015?)

it was rhetorical, of course my math is correct even I can do simple math. Washington Union won a state bowl game as well.

If my quick math is correct, CW has appeared in 16 VC games in its 35-year history (46% of the time) with 9 wins (26% of the time).

since you have Rainmanish math skills I will not question your CW stat...but in 07 the Drillers played in 1 VC game and won 100% of the VC games they played in

That game made Doug Flutie's Miracle in Miami look average. 

[TeddyKGB]

It was like watching the Football version of Hickery High beating Central

[izne1home]

More like Nightmare on 14th Street

So all this figuring, pluses, minus, divide, and conquer ...

Which BHS will reach 40 Valley Championships first???? Or 9 State Titles?

[TeddyKGB]

40?  Wait..., you're counting the championships earned with 8 white kids who averaged 5'5 and ran 6-second 40's and had to drive a mule train 100 miles to find a game?
