Zonefball Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I am wondering when the IFCA started doing Junior All-State. The IFCA website goes back to 2001, maybe it was then? IDK, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote
Coach Nowlin Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 not sure, I have been around HS football coaching since 2003 I believe it has been around since then have you checked out our man @Rudy indiana almanac site? Quote
Zonefball Posted February 8, 2019 Author Posted February 8, 2019 Just did, it may be worth the $$ to get the book, goes all the way back to 1906. If your a history nerd like me, that would be a good/fun resource to have. The IFCA website definitely goes back to 2001. 1 Quote
Coach Nowlin Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 i snagged his Cluster book as well Good Stuff Quote
JQWL Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 My junior season, we had a kid make Junior All-state. That would've been '99 so at least that long. Quote
Rudy Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 The book only covers first team all-state players. To add junior, 2nd team, academic, etc. would have made this already long project impossibly longer. Maybe one of these days though lol. I'll see if I can get an answer for your question though. Was there someone in particular you were curious about? Dan 1 Quote

I cannot imagine the amount of research it took to put that together, especially with limited online resources. Agreed, adding all that would be a nightmare of a task. I was just curious when the IFCA started doing their Junior All State. I am interested in any MSC or PLAC players, no one in particular. Just being a football nerd lol. Quote

It took years to gather the data (my newspapers.com account helped a ton) and about as long to format the info into book form. The book doesn't have a conferences section but the new edition does have it broken down by school (plus by year and by last name). If you'd like to buy a copy, here's the link: http://www.almanacsports.com/article.php?news_id=2019011801 Also, I donate 10% of all proceeds to the gridiron digest if a forum member buys and lets me know. Thanks for being a fellow football nerd 👍 Dan 2 Quote
