Playoff Droughts

Listening to one of my sports talks shows the other day they were talking playoff droughts in the NFL and it got me to thinking about droughts at the high school level.

What better time to talk about these things than now? The season is on the horizon, getting closer everyday and once the season gets here we will be talking games, players, etc... lost will be subjects like this so lets dive into the Class 1 teams.

These 5 teams have gone the longest without even making the playoffs!
1990 for Chincoteague
2012 for Craig
2015 for Lancaster & Northwood
2016 for Charles City

See any of these teams busting through in 2023?


As for teams with the longest losing streak in the playoffs?
1995 for Northampton who has lost 9 straight.
1996 for Thomas Walker who has lost 8 straight.
1994 for Middlesex who has lost 8 straight.
2014 for Brunswick who has lost 8 straight.
