Here’s a little more 3A information about records for the decade.  This time, it’s the teams that made up District Two the past two seasons.  Here are their football records for 2000-2009…

Overall Regular Season Records:

Clear Lake 83-7 (six undefeated seasons)

Waverly-Shell Rock 46-44

Charles City 41-49

Algona 40-50

Webster City 33-57

Forest City 28-62

Hampton-Dumont 16-38 in 3A, 26-10 in 2A (two undefeated seasons in 2A)

Iowa Falls-Alden 15-21 in 3A, 7-11 in 2A, 20-16 in 2A as Iowa Falls only.  (Alden from 2000-2003 will be covered later in a section about consolidation/program sharing, etc.)

Looks like Clear Lake had a pretty nice decade.  Very impressive record.  They have also won their last 23 regular season games, tops in 3A.  Hampton-Dumont enjoyed their second stint of the decade in 2A when they dropped down in 2006 and 2007.  Two 9-0 seasons sandwiched in between seven sub-.500 seasons.  Let’s move on to the district records…

Overall District Records:

Clear Lake 66-4 (six undefeated district seasons)

Waverly-Shell Rock 37-33

Charles City 35-35

Algona 33-37

Webster City 28-42

Forest City 16-54

Hampton-Dumont 12-30 in 3A, 20-8 in 2A (two undefeated district seasons in 2A)

Iowa Falls-Alden 10-18 in 3A, 6-8 in 2A, 18-10 in 2A as Iowa Falls only.

Nothing too surprising here.  After seeing the overall records, it makes sense that Clear Lake would also be the best team in district play.  What a record for the Lions.  They also managed a 17-3 non-district record and are currently riding a 19-game district win streak.  Not shabby.  Now, let’s look at the postseason/playoff numbers…

Overall Postseason/Playoff Records:

Substate record, playoff record, years qualified

Clear Lake 2-0, 17-9, 10 (five semifinals, two finals, ONE TITLE (2000)

Waverly-Shell Rock x-x, 3-3, 3

Charles City 1-1, 0-2, 2

Webster City 1-1, 0-1, 1

Algona 0-1, 0-1, 1

Hampton-Dumont 0-1, 2-2, 2 (both playoff appearances were in 2A)

Iowa Falls-Alden qualified as Iowa Falls only in 2A in 2001 and lost (0-1)

Again, Clear Lake stands out with a solid postseason record.  Clearly, they are one of the better teams of the decade in any class.  They started the decade out with a title, qualified for the playoffs every year, and made the semifinals half the years of the decade.  Their title was a 3-overtime thriller over Harlan, 23-20.
