We are lucky to have David in Oak Ridge. He is already in the Oak Ridge Sports Hall of Fame and he deserves to be in several more like the TSSAA Hall. I wonder if Knoxville Central would put him in the Boom Big Stick/You did that one too many times Todd Helton Hall. Now that was funny

I posted this challenge on the girls board to find out which public school in Tennessee has the most wins in boys basketball.

 

Bradley Central has 2049 wins, 803 losses and 1 tie in their all-time history of nearly 100 years. The 1 tie resulted when a discrepancy arose in a game with Baylor many years ago when the manually operated scoreboard was in disagreement with the official score book. The official had already left the building so it was declared a tie.

 

Can any team show documented proof of more than 2049 wins? The Bear record is documented game-by-game. I would like to see some responses. Any school approaching or beating this total would have to be open 100 years or more.

If I'm not mistaking, Dobyns-Bennett's current tally is 2207-779, dating back to the 1918-'19 season.

Need more than "If I'm not mistaking" to verify those totals. You talking boys or girls?

If that's not good enough for you, why don't you look it up your darn self. You obviously have access to the internet.

[baconbreath]

You show me on the internet where its at and I'll be more than happy to look it up. The point is it has to be documented and not just a hearsay. Very few schools have records that cover their history and that is a crying shame.

According to www.nfhs.org, Dobyns Bennett's men's basketball record from 1918-2016 is 2196 wins 764 losses and 1 tie.

That is an average season of 22-8 over 98 years. Pretty impressive!

FWIW I think 1,539 victories by Oak Ridge is pretty impressive being we have been playing about 30-40+ years less time then a lot of schools on that list. Not bragging or anything!!
