Best all-around performance in 2016-17? Here's how YAIAA athletic programs stacked up

Show Caption

The 2016-17 YAIAA athletic season included great highs and great lows for all the athletes involved. Among the highs were a pair of boys’ volleyball teams winning PIAA championships (Northeastern and Central York), the tremendous success of Susquehannock and York Catholic girls’ basketball, and Red Lion football going unbeaten in the regular season.

But what school district had the best overall athletic year? 

Before we dive into the numbers, here is the formula we use:

First, we add up the total number of wins, losses and ties obtained by each school through each sport over the course of the academic year. Next, we add up “total wins” which is determined by adding the number of wins plus one-half of all ties. So, for instance, Delone Catholic had 156 wins and one tie, thus we determined them to have 156.5 wins. After we totaled up their “wins” we multiplied that number by three.

This is the third year we’ve put together these numbers, with Central York topping Dallastown the past two years.

This year, however, Dallastown had the last laugh: In a tight finish, the Wildcats beat Central York by 10.5 points, 792-781.5.

Dallastown went into the spring season with a narrow 513-511.5 lead in points, but a long postseason run in baseball as well as a PIAA tournament appearance by boys' volleyball gave the Wildcats an extra nine points.

Now, an in-depth look at all the numbers.
