List: Schools with most victories since 1970
Some readers last week asked why Lincoln County was not included among the top five winningest programs in state history in a GHSF Daily trivia question. The answer is because the Georgia High School Football Historians Association does not combine the histories of Lincoln County and predecessor school Lincolnton, which merged with a former GIA school, Westside, in 1970 to form the new high school. Many schools merged in 1970, making the years following a post-desegregation era of Georgia high school football. Here are the schools that have won 400 games or more since 1970.
