By Staff Report Sep 16, 2011, 1:44am

Valdosta entered the 2011 season with 861 total wins.

With the help of noted prep football historian Robert Dowcett, MaxPreps has compiled a list of the Top 50 winningest football programs in the nation.

It's a diverse list, featuring large schools and small schools, and it features schools from all across the nation. Teams from 20 different states made the list and the most come from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Seven Kentucky teams are in the Top 50, followed by six from Pennsylvania, four each from Texas and Oklahoma and three each from Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia and Arkansas.

All-time record totals do not include any games from the 2011 season.
