Football History
Since 1969, teams in the Henlopen Conference have won a total of 22 state football championships. The south leads the north in championships 15 to seven. Caesar Rodney leads the northern division with three Division I Championships and Delmar leads the southern division with six Division II Championships. Indian River was the last team to win a state championship in 2011.
Only twice has the conference swept the Division I and Division II championship. In 1988, Dover from the North and Indian River from the South were the first to do it. In 2008, Caesar Rodney from the North and Milford from the south accomplished the feat. In the 2008 championship games, both Caesar Rodney and Milford defeated Sussex Central and Laurel to win their respective championships.
Seaford High School is the only school in the conference to win both a Division I and II Championship.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or history:
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
