This sounds fantastic, I know there's times where I'd like to look something up regarding a score or how the playoffs went a certain year but would have to go to the library and look at old newspapers or microfilm to find it, and don't have the time set aside to do that. It is the one area where perhaps the NDHSAA could have been doing more with exposing previous seasons for various sports on their web site.
Do you have a website currently up or are you waiting until you have most of your data?
I'd love to see something similar for basketball too. I'd be happy with just regular season records and playoff/tournament results.
I am waiting till I can get some more data. I plan on heading to the Fargo library to get microfilm in the near future. Being born and raised in Michigan, I wanted to make a site similar to
http://www.michigan-football.com and get historical results since it is tough to find results online with the lack of resources.
The toughest thing is finding archives and when schools began/ended co-ops or changed names (for purposes of co-op name changes, I'm using the original primary school for historical results). I've used the NDHSAA yearbooks for playoff results (living in VC helps since that's where the HQ is located), schools that have yearbooks online, newspaper archives, etc... I got most of the data from 2002-Present completed and all the playoff results at the moment. Once completed, I'll have past standings, scores, playoff brackets (completed), and records by county/region/conference.
I want to do a boys basketball playoff results one too once I get football completed. It would be very tough to get individual regular season games due to the number of games a team plays in a season.
